Pretty excited to see Parker and Papley in the forward line together. Whether due to role or ability, Wicks wasn't a target up forward so he didn't really need to be tightly covered by an opponent.
Despite Parker's lack of speed, if you give him any space at all, he will mark and goal so he needs to be paid attention to. Should give Paps more room to operate.
Think he might be able to have a day out and crumb a few.
papley at his best is crucial, he can be a matchwinner forward or in bursts around the ball
parker's form since his return to seniors has been arguably his best, certainly most dynamic, for some years
getting a fit mcinerney back is another point of difference, he makes us a better side, but i still fear we won't be getting much from him for the rest of the season ... but campbell's metamorphosis and florent getting back to form sort of covers for mcinerney's absence
mills seems cemented in defence, and is such a sure presence
and roberts has turned himself into a bit of an x factor
melican, mccartin, rampe and cunningham are solid, and blakey is a gamebreaker ... blakey, rowbottom and mcinerney are key points of difference outside our headline stars
outside those headliners, we have a genuinely good team, mostly coming back into form ... we have every reason to feel more than just optimistic about this finals series
