Our trouble against St. Kilda (and the other good teams for that matter) is the first thing that seems to 'go' when we are playing poorly is getting the ball through wing/half forward. We always seem to fall to pieces there. That may be a reflection on delivery and ability to deal with the pressure further down the field, I'm not sure, but I think it is dangerous going into the game with only Mooney and Hawkins as 'tall' forwards.
Key forwards they aren't but I'd love to see Mitch Duncan and Menzell playing that lead up half forward role.
Steve Johnson is terrible at it because he cannot mark overhead and stages for free kicks. The likes of Stokes and Byrnes are too short for it.
It might also be a way to get Mitch Brown some game time too. Being an out and out key forward against St. Kilda would certainly be a baptism of fire. He might be able to get onto a few cheapies if moved up the ground a little.
I've always thought that's where we break down against the good sides.
I remember Johno filling in for Moons at CHF against Carlton in 2008 marked everything that came his way that night and never staged for a free.
Best game I've seen him play including the 07 Granny.Is capable.

Doesn't sound too good for Chappy (or Ling) making it in time for round 1 judging by this article;

Seems like the other 'underdone' players had a hit-out yesterday, but still no Chappy or Ling
