Good to see Burton dropped, long overdue. He has zero presence or impact and needs a massive kick up the arse. Fully expect him to play a mediocre game for the Magpies and come straight back in next week, that's how Ken rolls.

I hope Aliir comes up, don't want Clurey coming in...he had to play KPD last week for the Maggies in McKenzie's absence and was awful.
 
big charlie dixon fc VS shouldn't be an AFL franchise. putting on a little football event for the troops. perhaps we should come out to this:

 
Why is it we don’t go to centre bounce with Rozee, butters & Francis ? We usually have one resting forward.
Seems ridiculous to me.

None of them are great defensively compared to Drew, who is having a great year.

I wouldn’t mind starting with those 3 though when it’s 0-0 and charge them with throwing down the gauntlet to the opposition.

It’s a bit risky with an inexperienced ruck in Sweet.

But if we win the clearance first, most probably by Francis, then we won’t need to go defensive.
I’d go defensive if it’s not working.

I don’t think it’s that simple. The clearance isn’t always won by the team that gets first hands to the ball, sometimes there’s a tackle and the ball spills free for someone to swoop. We need someone to make that first tackle stick.

However if the ruck is clearly hitting to advantage continuously then what your saying could work, but if there’s a fumble or a awkward bounce in there, or a stray defenders hand, we could be cooked going the other way.

Then there’s also a player who might be blocking for one of our more explosive mids to run onto a loose ball… not sure who out of JHF, Rozee & Butters would be the best blocker.

Finally we might need to tag someone at CB if they are dominating.

I’m not saying they shouldn’t play those 3 together sometimes but need to be smart with it.

That said, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with trying it if we’re losing anyway.

I'm more interested in seeing

Drew, Wines, JHF

OR

Drew, SPP, JHF

As our go to when the opposition gets a run on. Players who will out their head over the ball and do the simple things

We could win this game by 500 points and it would still prove absolutely nothing. At least McEntee isn't playing.
And if we win in a grinding low scoring “spectacle”, it probably was because we were missing the elite forward pressure.
