Allen as a forward; NN and Bailey to share ruck (keeping NN's mins down). Two talls out, one tall in.
Land of the giants mk20
I like your optimism but this ain't a much stronger side than last week.
2 snags last week from a young tall who is also rucking 20% of the time is hardly poorAllen’s form has been down for a long time now so one can only hope he turns it around tomorrow night or he might be watching the finals from the stands.
Here's how we're named...
FB: Cole Barrass Sheppard
HB: Hurn Schofield Duggan
C: Nelson Sheed Waterman
HF: Ah Chee Darling Petruccelle
FF: Allen Kennedy Ryan
R: Naitanui Kelly Gaff
I: Foley Williams Ainsworth Rotham
E: Brander O'Neill Cameron Edwards
Kinda disappointed to see Cole & Duggan back in defence - but 2 defenders on the bench so they can still play through there.
Has been mentioned a few times that Foley has been a big improver this year . Went from HBF last year to wing this year and thriving.Bit surprised by Foley inclusion, hard to know really if he's develpped this year or not. Reports last year, he was struggling in the WAFL. Weird he took Branders spot too.
Sean King, Paul Mifka, Kevin Caton, Tom Lamb, Glenn O’Loughlin, Scott Bennett, Shane Cable, Zach Beeck, Ryan Neates, Ian Dargie, Gerrick Weedon, Cory Young, Paul Johnson.....
Hamish Brayshaw?
O'Neill and Brander very unlucky.
Williams to ruck most of the time. Naitanui on reduced minutes to ensure he is fresh for the finals. Will play more if we need a burst or looks like North might be getting a run on
My two cents

None of Brisbane, Tigers (Without soldo) or Geelong play anything resembling two decent rucks. Port maybe if they play Lycett and Ladhams.exactly.
In coming weeks teams with 2 rucks may require us to play Williams over Allen anyway
Brander reminds me of whatisname Watts, gun junior footballer but lacking the pysical intensity to mix it with the big boys.5 games in 18 days is enough for a rest, but didn’t get enough of it in last couple of games to demand Selection. Unlucky but fresher players coming back
as for brander, dropped chest marks, lacking of marking presence or tackling makes it pretty clear that an actual midfielder will play midfield better than him, given what should be his strengths, aren’t.
we are wasting our time trying to attempt to make him a mid fielder. Put some muscle on, develop some power, learn to lead and mark and stay forward. If there’s 4 better forwards than you, keep improving or go to Defence. Not being mean or bagging, but he’s not a midfielder, never has been and never will be
I think Brander has shown he has a future at AFL Level given his athleticism and skills level. See his future as part of the JK replacement Plan, though a different player but he has time5 games in 18 days is enough for a rest, but didn’t get enough of it in last couple of games to demand Selection.
