I for one will be interested in the structure Rhode uses for the game against the pies. I know it is only one game but as he is interested in the top job he will try a few things so that his name is put forward. Even his team for this week is a little different, freeing Murphy up to the wing (if indeed that is how they line up due to match ups) Murph has had a low patch towards the end of the year as being defensive all year must be draining (even though he is an attacking defender) for a young player.
Also i will be interested with the way he uses Bowden, how much game time he gives him, position etc. I have a feeling that Bowden may not be sad to see the back of Wallace.
I am a wrap for McGuinness and would be happy to see him in one on one contests close to goal.
So it will be interesting to see how the game unfolds and if there are any subtle differences.
I'm sure we will all discuss it next week, and in the ensuing weeks as we search for a new coach.
Do we want a rookie coach or one who has experience?

Very much looking forward to some positional changes (bugger all he can do about the game plan in less than a week).

I notice Grant is named at CHF, surely he wont play there.

Perhaps a full-forward line consisting of Bandy, Brown and McGuinness and a half-forward line of Bowden, Penny and Giansiracusa/Alvey/Gilbee/McMahon.

This would give us a lot more marking power but would play right into Collingwoods hands as they could match up well with Wakelin, Prestig...., Clement, Cloke. Don't know who will get Brown.

With Scooter still out, Mitch Hahn in the guts.

I said when i started this post on Friday I would be interested in Rhodes structural changes.
Well having Croft forward, Bandy and Grant back, as well as McGuinness at times, Guido starting at a lot of centre bounces were interesting structural changes.
