CJ needs at least a week at Box Hill.
McKenzie looked off yesterday.
Scrim is a very good football but no KPD.
Keep the two rucks - Kosi needs to stay up forward and build confidence.
Backline looks lost without Sicily. Day to HBF.

Surprised at the calls for Scrim to be dropped. Seemed to make a few errors yesterday but stats suggest he went at 90% from 31 possies. That’s not bad going.
Recon if we can free him up a little more, be could play the Sicily floating role.
And there’s no way CJ is coming straight in even if he’s fit.

I don’t think he will be dropped but some of his skill errors didn’t result in a direct turnover so it records as an efficient kick even though it turned a simple mark into a ground ball get under pressure and then a turnover.
Never going to be a KPP. That role will kill his career. Is a great flanker/interceptor.
We need Day to stay in middle. So a back likely comes in. DGB wasn’t great at BH but is the only tall option.
Blues have 3 talls up front - McKay, Curnow and TDK. This will be the challenge with Sicily out, particularly if blues get on top in middle.

No. TDK is a permanent ruck. Silvagni usually plays 3rd tall.
Btw, isn't Nash the perfect match up for Cripps!
His lack of intensity was noticeable yesterday. Wasn’t our worst by any means but a team balance perspective Day is a better option with Ward slotting into the midfield for mine. DGB or Frost to take the third tall frees up Weddle to be more attacking and currently he offers more than Scrim.
Day, Weddle, Mitchell and Impey rebounding from our back 50 is a solid group.

I feel we could keep Day back in defence and bring in Ward and one of Stephens or Long to strengthen our mid rotation.
Day is the one guy who settles our defence without Sicily.
Back our other mids in to bounce back from a poor showing. Also let’s Moore play more as a connector than having to push right back in defence which stifles our ball movement.
Fair point. But I’d rather Day in the centre. Recon Scrim can be a good interceptor if he’s freed up. Doesn’t have the composure of Day, but loves to take a mark floating across.
I’d also prefer Ward playing half forward given our terrible entries from that area of the ground yesterday. He can hit them lace out going forward.

Any chance that Meek is offered a holiday.
Was one of my favourite highlights Meek crashing the oppo.

Does Chad play? All jokes aside.

Can't have a player in the backline who has no desire to defend
Outcome vs action
Action is touch and go - contact to body, but whiplash caused head contact
If the GC player is concussed (don't think he was) the AFL will rub him out

Any head contact was secondary and incidental. So about 8 weeks.
