Please God no to Hutchins.
Would love to see Jamo in but don't think it will happen yet.

Fascinating game we could have here. The two sides are the most efficient going inside 50 this year but both have been really struggling to contain opposition forward lines. It'll probably come down to who has more chances, which I think you guys will. Expecting a scoreline that reads something like 130-110 either way (most likely yours).
Out: Edwards and Waterman
In: Jones and Yeo. If Yeo not ready maybe give Hutch a game.
Allen back. Williams/NN play the third tall fwd when not rucking rather than wasting a spot on a 2nd ruck playing just 50% gametime. Alternatively Allen plays backup ruck/3rd tall, Edwards stays, and we drop Williams (not my preference)
We just can't keep wasting a spot on a 2nd ruck who only plays 50% TOG, while NN only plays 65%. It's a major factor to why we run out of legs nearly every week

Hutch is now an ‘in case of emergency break glass’ player.
Not there yet.
Much rather XON - give Yeo another week or two and then if his body is holding up, pull the trigger.

GWS talls beat us. They defended well and were well ontop of our backs, often exploiting Harrys inexperience. Their resting ruckman marked deap forward and kicked two goals. Williams who often rested forward on rotation marked and kicked one.
Nic and Williams played well but at half time the ruck position was not dominant.
Outside of that I dont think we had a palyer who won their position. Height didnt impact.

We suck in the wet.
You're not on the MC are you?
We were smashed when the ball hit the deck (and have been most the year). And we constantly run out of legs in the last
One game this year (against a decent opponent) we've been the ones dominating the ground ball. Guess which game and go back and look at how many talls we played in it

As much as we desperately, desperately could use Yeo, he needs another week in the WAFL
Bear in mind people, if he breaks down again its unlikely we will see him again this year
We badly need his physicality around the contest, but we do need to manage him carefully

We smacked them in ground ball. From memory our best were all our mids (Shuey, Gaff, Kelly, Redden, Sheed). We did lose the 2nd half which is a fair point. I felt that was more cue in the rack than being run over but maybe not. Even more reason to play more runners.
Fact is playing two guys who play limited mins (NN and the 2nd ruck) means everyone else has to pick up the load. NN sits for 35% of the game, and the 2nd ruck (Williams/Vardy) have been off for 50% when in that role. That's 85% of a game off the ground just between our two rucks, it's basically an extra player.
The AFL introduced a sub because it's seen as so unfair to go down a player during a game, yet we voluntarily effectively play one guy down every week.
The 2nd ruck has to play fwd more and get their TOG up, but we can't do that currently because we already have 3 talls plus Waterman and Brander running around up fwd.
Nah I would roll the dice...if he is fit play him.....even on limited minutes he would provide a lot more than what we have atm in the middle
I reckon the wet weather will actually suit us....Essendon have quick ball movement...which we struggle with
Comprehension not your strong point?

Luke Edwards is ahead in the pecking order then XON FYI.
I suspect with the idea its going to be a wet game, we actually look to reduce our height. Team should be
IN: Jones, Witherden
OUT: Waterman, H.Edwards
Oscar to defense, Ah Chee stays in since he is very good in the wet actually. Nelson into the midfield

Was going to just post those same outs and agree with the height for this game.
Balance looks WAY better with that setup.

I just dont think Waterman and Liam Ryan can play in the same team atm, especially with JK and Allen in the same forward line. He needs to spend some time in the WAFL until spots open up and eventually long term open up with JKs retirement . We need to make sure he is happy to bide his time though and keep him long term
Out - Sheep farmer teaching corralling.
In - TACKLING coach to teach TACKLING.
GWS top 6 midfielders had 33 tackles between them, WCE top 6 mids had 13. Not including Rucks.

Yeah our lack of tackling ability has been sh*tting me off for years. Why do we continually ignore such a fundamental aspect of the game year in and year out?
Watching players standing spread-eagled 2 meters in front of an opponent with the ball gives me 2010 flashbacks. Corralling is such a nothing strategy! You may as well ignore the oppo player entirely and just run back into the D50 for all the good it does.
