Sort of not that long ago….your work was better going beyond the dead rubber in round 24. Much more interesting

Wouldn't be surprised if Conway subbed at half time
We saw this last year. Our second tier midfielders are not actually that bad when they have the generals in there (round 4-8 last year was an example), but are exposed badly otherwise. We are in a position now where that is still Dangerfield, but Bruhn would be the second. I would be tempted to say Bowes is more important than Guthrie now.I'm going to remember your post in future, instead of yelling "They're so bloody slow" but I guess that was watching Hawk in his midfield forays, Blics couldn't bend to pick up, Duncan walking in glue, Stanley immobile, and a couple of contested midfield balls having slow reflexes =no idea, twice was Ollie, MOC. When Holmes, Miers, Dempsey,Rohan et al get on a run, especially with over the back balls, we look good. I think we are getting seriously studied, and made to look slow by a combination of factors.
I mean I want him to go OK too, and I'm sure he will until he runs out of gas. Will be interesting to see. I expect Clark sub and Conway off for him maybe 3rd quarterI don't want that if he's going Okay. More like he's already had his toes wet, let's throw him in the deep end of that sweaty sea and see what he's got, if he's fit - and it has to be better than bad Stanley at the least.

We fall apart when our best 2 or 3 midfielders are missing and suddenly Atkins, Blicavs, Parfitt and Clark become our primary set up.
Although Holmes offers great drive off half back we probably need to up his midfield minutes a little more until Dangerfield is back.
Bruhn, Bowes, Holmes, Atkins and Parfitt with Blicavs/Conway rucking to them is a far stronger midfield than Blicavs, Parfitt, Guthrie, Atkins and Clark getting rucked to by current-day Stanley (first 1.5 quarters last week). With Duncan out, why not shift Guthrie to half back where he actually looked good against Carlton?
