Hartigan will play and stand Gunston
I wish that were true. Jacobs has got a gold pass until he gets injured beyond the point of walking. Why? Because the AFC has not acquired a mature ruck replacement in our window. Gees I hope I'm wrong but I think our Achilles heal this year will be our inability to win centre clearances. The signs are on the wall already. 1 more half decent year out of Jacobs is all we can hope for.. His inadequacies won't be tolerated by Pyke with 6 6 6 coming into play. I expect ROB and Jenkins to ruck on a 60/40 split
I honestly can't see Don and co continually picking Jacob's if he is getting smashed in the middle which he most likely will based on last years performances. Having watched Jacob's closely over the last 12 months he simply lacks pace, looks tired, can't jump at centre bounce, doesn't chase, rarely takes contested marks, plays with a lack of urgency and goes through the motions a lot of the time. The argument that we have no one else is total bullshit. Do you think Blight would have run with that crap? We need to find a better solution and fast. We do have ROB, Jenkins, Hunter, Himmelberg on our list. TBH I would prefer Greenwood to ruck over Jacob's. I have nothing against Jacob's personally but everything against something that will potentially rob us of a top 4 spot and a possible flag. It isn't Jacob's fault that the club has not put a lot of importance on a dominant ruck in previous years but with the introduction of 666 more should have been done in the trade period to rectify the situation if the club didn't believe ROB or another option on our list was the answer.I wish that were true.

Agree with that, wouldn't rule out Greenwood in place of CEY in the mix but think he will spend a week or 2 longer building match fitness.With Hugh & Keath in the SANFL trial and Gallucci not playing at all this week, here's what I think R1 will be:
Jake Kelly, Daniel Talia, Tom Doedee
Rory Laird, Kyle Hartigan, Brodie Smith
Wayne Milera, Rory Sloane, Paul Seedsman
Rory Atkins, Taylor Walker, Tom Lynch
Eddie Betts, Josh Jenkins, Riley Knight
Sam Jacobs, Matt Crouch, Bryce Gibbs
Brad Crouch, Richard Douglas, 2 of Chayce Jones, Lachie Murphy, & CEY
I think there's still a chance that Fogarty gets a game. So your side, but 2 of Fogarty, Jones, Murphy and CEY miss out.With Hugh & Keath in the SANFL trial and Gallucci not playing at all this week, here's what I think R1 will be:
Jake Kelly, Daniel Talia, Tom Doedee
Rory Laird, Kyle Hartigan, Brodie Smith
Wayne Milera, Rory Sloane, Paul Seedsman

Sam Jacobs, Matt Crouch, Bryce Gibbs
Brad Crouch, Richard Douglas, 2 of Chayce Jones, Lachie Murphy, & CEY
Laird Talia Doedee
Smith Hartigan Milera
Atkins Matt Seeds
Knight Tex Lynch
Betts Jenkins Murphy
Jacobs Sloane Brad
Gibbs Douglas Fog Kelly
Only possible changes I can see:
Jones for Murphy
CEY for Fog
Personally I would have CEY before Douglas if they want to play Fog
Greenwood not ready yet
Roughie Taliamatch ups will be interesting
Bruest Roughie Gunston AND POOP are the key ones, bruest could be the most difficult being their leading goal kicker, talia obviously gets Roughie
Roughie Talia
Poppy Laird
Breust Kelly
Gunston Hartigan
Interesting you put a guy lucky to make the best 22 on their leading goal kicker you must have a lot of faith
and Laird prefers to play loose Poppy wont allow that
Kelly isn’t a bad defender and looked in good form on the weekend. We’ve earmarked him to replace Brown and seeing as Brown isn’t available he takes Breust. With Brown playing Kelly would miss because we’ve got a strong defence when all are fit.Interesting you put a guy lucky to make the best 22 on their leading goal kicker you must have a lot of faith

You do realise bruest kicked the most goals for the hawks last year slightly ahead of gunstonKelly isn’t a bad defender and looked in good form on the weekend. We’ve earmarked him to replace Brown and seeing as Brown isn’t available he takes Breust. With Brown playing Kelly would miss because we’ve got a strong defence when all are fit.
Laird defends and plays loose, that’s what makes him such a good player. Laird won’t be able to play the year without an opponent so he’s going to have a player he needs to defend every week, poppy is no exception.
Marty how about you make a suggestion as to who covers Breust.You do realise bruest kicked the most goals for the hawks last year slightly ahead of gunston
Surely those to command the attention of our best one on ones
Are you saying Kelly is our number 1 if brown is injured

Marty how about you make a suggestion as to who covers Breust.
And I actually think Kelly given his size will match up pretty well on Breust given our first choice in Brown is injured.
Who plays on their resting ruckman?Looking at match ups
Talia to take Roughie
Harto on Gunston
Doedee on Bruest (Everyone rates doedee so highly although I believe he struggles to defend one on one as is written)
Milera on Poppy (Cant afford to lose Lairds drive
So you’d want to rob the backline of Doedees strength to play a pure defensive role so we free up Kelly to do what?Looking at match ups
Talia to take Roughie
Harto on Gunston
Doedee on Bruest (Everyone rates doedee so highly although I believe he struggles to defend one on one as is written)
