I wouldn't have any of them. Waste of time. Got Jackson and Fritsch would can easily play deep forward.
No.

See: the loss to GWS.

Our forward structure needs that additional tall.

One game doesn't mean anything at all... I could easily reference early in the year where TMac was our only tall and we won 8 straight.
 
Huh? How about the first 7 weeks when we were undefeated with just Tmac and Jackson
Yeah and then how about the following five when you spent the whole time sooking about forward structure.

The reality is 2 KPFs plus Fritsch plus Jacko floating in and out is the best we have looked all year. One of them tends to get off the chain for a period and go bang. TMac hasn’t done anything particularly bad and the structure means we nullify a lot of the Lever/Aliir types when our kids inevitably go the dump kick because they have to worry about all the talls.

Yeah because we started bringing in talls for the ******* sake of it you Muppet haha
I’m drunk and argumentative, leave me alone

lol wtf are you talking about? TK whinged about the forward structure when we brought in Weid and Brown
 
I'm sorry, I'm riding the high like anyone else but Smith was putrid and has to go. Hibbo for him.

TMac was invisible but I'm not sure if we have anyone for him so happy to keep him in.

This is a preliminary, we need to be ruthless.
TMac less visible because we kick to Brown 80% of the time now. TMac will kick 3 in a qtr if we need to switch it up.

Bowey was good in the end.
Hunt/Hibberd for a prelim though. Do you trust Bowey to go again.
I think the kid will be a good player but there's decisions need to all be one off now. Not with the future in mind.

Depends on match ups and fitness I guess. Hibberd and Hunt the only two options to bring in down there. Smith was a total failure tonight but who is his match up for Geelong or GWS?

Also, will Hunt actually be ready to come straight back in or will he be too rusty?

Again, I thought Bowey came pretty good in the second half. Would I trust him in a final again now? Not sure. It's a 50/50 proposition tbh.

I want Hibberd in regardless though.
 
I think we got lucky in the sense that we dominated. If that comes down to a kick late on then the Smith and Bowey/Rivers poor games could really bite.

I don't trust them not to cost goals in a prelim again ( Rivers not so much he redeemed himself)

Will probably depend who we play with Smith and Hibbo, Smith vs Geelong for extra height and flexibility if Jeremy Cameron starts killing Petty again, Hibberd vs GWS as their forward line not as tall or quick.

Yeah don't mind Smith vs Geelong they don't have dangerous smalls. GWS do. Agree with your choice.
 
Smith actually has a good matchup against Rohan who is half the player Cameron is. Though against finals Rohan you could play Terlich and do OK.
I’d back Topkent in against Rohan in a final.

I think Hibberd must come in for Smith. I thought Smith did amazingly well and tried hard but Hibberd I trust much more. He has savvy veteran smarts.

That's it really and Tom Mcdonald stays in the team but if Mitch Brown was fit and healthy this would be the perfect time to bring him in. Mcdonald looked like his footy boots had heavy steel caps in them.
