I wouldn't think so.With DeGoey and Mitchell in doubt, is there any chance Allan gets a call up into the centre square against Carlton?

If De Goey is out, I wouldn't hesitate to tip Carlton. He may not have been of last year's standard, but I am sure there is daylight between him and whoever might take his place.God help us if the injuries start to come. We’ve been very lucky so far.
This is news to me. Didn’t realise he’d injured a shoulder. Surely if it was serious he would have come off.After the serious shoulder injury Sidey suffered on Anzac Day I was shocked he was not subbed at quarter time

I think Bytel played that role at Saints but we have him pegged as an outside runnerGiven our midfield struggles this season (i.e. our inability to dominate centre clearances), which was highlighted by our inability to quell Stringer and Parish at stoppage last week, I was thinking whether we have anyone who is capable of playing as a tagger (or being developed to play as a tagger).
It's not in vogue these days, however I think there remains some value in having a playing who is capable of tagging an opposition mid when the midfield battle is stacked against you (which I think it is this week). If your tagger has a good game, you can effectively neutralise one of the opposition's prime movers, which usually forces the opposition to adjust their system.
Some players are hard to tag. For instance, I wouldn't tag Cripps as he's too big and effective at stoppage, regardless of his opponent. I would however entertain the idea of tagging Walsh, even if it's only for certain periods of the game.
To me the most obvious candidates are Beau and Crispy, however is it possible that someone like Oleg has the stamina and mentality required to apply a hard tag? I think you're giving too much up in other areas of our game by sending Beau or Crispy out to tag, but could see the utility in using one of our 'lesser lights' to attempt to even up the midfield battle.

Don't be silly, the whole 22 would have to go down for Fly give him a chance.
Many chances?He's been given chances and hasn't taken them. Fin and Reef have failed to grasp opportunities starting in the 22. If Jordy and or Titch don't play then you'd think Sully will get a crack at it along with Fin.

Yikes. Going to be tough starting every forward foray from inside D50.Imagine if De Goey and Mitchell didn’t play. We wouldn’t win a single clearance.

He' s a bulldog and not much smaller then Walsh.Schultz
But people want to play the Kids?Imagine if De Goey and Mitchell didn’t play. We wouldn’t win a single clearance.
not sure its quick fix ...We're aren't executing fundamental skills, which can be fixed very quickly, so there's still hope we can reach the lofty heights that we set last year. It was almost laughable every time JDG got the pill on Thursday.
Fly bangs on about executing the fundamentals well so no doubt they'll get it right.
Yeah where are those posters now? They'd be happy with this injury news wouldn't they ..But people want to play the Kids?
