Love the faith they have immediately shown in Ross.
Starting in all but 1 centre bounce throughout the game.

Jon Ralph said yesterday during the Essendon v Collingwood coverage that scans for Riewoldt were booked for today, but the club’s initial prognosis was he would probably require surgery to get on top of it now rather than managing it for the rest of the year.

He said ~10 weeks was the initial estimate.
 
Looking at those midfield stats, we don't have as many guys running through the middle bounces as I would have guessed.

I think we need to keep Shane Edwards involved in the game as much as possible or risk losing our best play maker. Yes, he can still do it off the half back line but how much exactly?

The Lynch - Riewoldt combo will work fine if they can stay on the park. One thing different this year to last is the amount of times backmen are not marking the ball in our forward line. Apart from Gawn who sat in the hole (which made it impossible for Melb. to exit defence), very few backs have pack marked in our forward half due to Jack and Lynch both competing for the ball. Our small forwards are loving it.

What to do without Jack? Caddy has been very good when he goes on ball. He never fumbles and always makes good decisions, so you don't want to plonk him deep where he plays well, as he is playing quite well when on ball. Besides Lynch is deep. Martin resting forward a bit the same.

We need to find another CHF. Moore is a chance but really I doubt he is good enough. After 4 years an AFL forward would be kicking bags. Chol is a tease but very inconsistent. CCJ will be a good forward ruck, but can he play CHF. We will lose a lot at ground level as well. I'd love to see them back Miller in. Was very good at CHF for a bit last week in the VFL. Adding another teenager would be bold and it has not done us any harm so far this season. He and Balta can both play at either end and ruck, so you would not be losing much.

The only other thing that might be interesting is to tell Bolton he is playing tall and go for his grabs. That might be worth the entrance fee to see.

Oh well back to the one tall one medium and multiple smalls we go until Jack gets back. Flag and top of the ladder under this system.

I actually felt our forwardline worked better last week with Lynch and Caddy as our two 'talls' with a changing support cast of Balta, Martin and the fleet of smalls rotating through. I, like many others here, feel that Dusty spent far too much time forward this week. It only works when he moves in the forwardline unpredictably. If he is spending a huge percentage of time forward, I feel the opposition are able to better plan and settle in their role defending him. With the flood Melbourne were putting on, he just seemed to get lost admidst the numbers.

For mine, bring Bolton back in is a given. He was playing well and creates goals. Our midfield is competing well at the moment and Ross is one of the surprize packets of the year. Leave Caddy forward working in tandum with (and teaching) Lynch and I feel we will be better off later in the year when Jack returns.
 
I'm looking forward to see us fine tune our system to combat the possession game that wet toast and pies used against us so effectively. Running hard to plug the gaps and stop the second\third short kicks out of defence makes a huge difference. We have to force them to kick down the line or go the risky switch to the centre. Our ball movement was pretty sloppy kind of like baked beans at times but at least we gained valuable metres.
 
Just got to be cleaner at times and cut the bad kicks noticed started to creep in again that's what stands between us and the other top sides more cleaner.The midfield needs to work with the forward line better to lower
