Horses for courses.
Defense lacking KPD's with Ripley out and Langford not able to swing back (also out).
Curtin back in. Don't mind Bond in for Merrett, but find a different magnet to swap

Actually loved the way Tex played on Sunday
He’s pushing high up and giving Fog and TT opportunities closer to goal and when he gets the ball he’s trying to bring others into the game
If he was gassed it was prob just due to the amount of work he did getting up and back
When he was dominant in 2023 he was having pings at goal from everywhere and he’s playing a completely different style of game now and so he should be , he’s such a smart player he knows what he’s doing
We absolutely packed out Marvel last year. Might have something to do with it. I am out of town for this clash and very sad to be missing it.
Boys will be better for a run on the MCG. Has looked slippery recently. Hope they pack a pair of boots with longer studs. Gotta keep your feet against Merrett and Kako.

Also ANB - completely shut down N Daicos on King's birthday last year.
I was looking at the crowd numbers and it was 36k last year for the Marvel game on a Friday night (6k Crows supporters surely) and the 2023 game it was 39k on a Sunday afternoon.
MM will probably get the Kako job I hope.
Start Draper!
Wasted opportunity last week not seeing what he could do.
If he struggles and need to sub him, so be it, but he needs the chance to show he belongs.

That's deadset brilliant, I definitely want this to happen!
Exactly - bringing Bond in to tag him
means we get less midfield time out of Peatling , Rankine etc
Peatling has excellent defensive skills , let him wear out Merrett then at other times we put someone offensive on him to wear him out some more the other way
Not to North of all clubs.
Interesting. It was a struggle for me and my mates to get there in time for the bounce. Was it a 7pm start? Regardless looked a solid crowd from where I was sitting (top level above the goals).
Still think there will be a good turnout at the G.

Yep, or Ben Keays can also do a job if required.
TBH I actually like Keays as a negator, cause he can do a surprising amount of damage offensively and still get the job done. Nothing worse then watching your tagger kick 2 goals.

To be fair we have been so crap for so long that they probably haven’t realised the overhaul our team has had. And they’ve owned us when playing them in Vic recently.
Which is great - hopefully their players take the game for granted too.

Whilst there are changes I'd like to see for the overall progression of the squad (Nank, Taylor, Pedlar, Dowling, Bond etc), I'd not be making any changes to the 23 this week. We had an excellent warm up against an undermanned opponent to blow out the cobwebs. Nobody did anything egregiously wrong enough to warrant dropping. I'd like Sid to get a full game, but not at the expense of Curtin. I'm fine with Sid being handled with kid gloves given his load management during the preseason.
What I do want this year (and should be a non-negotiable for a serious team) is selection integrity and accountability. For the first time in a long time, we have quality depth across all lines and guys who should be playing senior football playing in the SANFL. If KPI's are not being met? Dropped. Shit attitude? Dropped. Better matchups available? Dropped.
We should be putting the best team possible on the field each week to beat the opposition in front of them. No golden more tickets!

I'm touching wood as I type, but have we ever had a playing list this healthy??
You look around at other clubs and you just have to be thankful that pre season for us was excellent.
