Not Crouch

Do not read his stats and think he should come into this team. His opponent had one less possession, 5 more clearances, a goal and even in the magoos, teams run off half back through him.

If Matt Crouch is the answer, it would have been to a stupid question.

He also had only 1 score involvement in the entire game

Might just be Cumming for Michalanney and some shuffling.

If they want to go like-for-like for Michalanney there's obviously Bond. Could also do Jones into 22 to play in defence?

Cook did enough to maintain his spot, I think. If they want to bring in more than just Cumming (e.g. Bond, or any of the Dowling/Draper/Nank mid/flanker types), Taylor and Pedlar remain the marginals.

Did anyone light things up in the SANFL?

We love his rebound but don't underestimate Max's ability to lock down on a player. I think we need to bring in Bond to play on Watson, and rely on others for rebound.

Don't think it matters genuinely don't see hawthorn getting near us and have maintained that for weeks.

He’s praying it’ll be wet essentially.
The way it rained tonight it may still be wet come Friday night.

But I’d like to see Bond for MM, Cumming to come back in if fit for Taylor or Peds nothing ground breaking in the above thoughts.
 
Is Max confirmed injured or have we just been maximally conservative in the way you can afford to be when you win by 16 goals?
He was limping pretty heavily after the game unfortunately. I’d like to see Bond come in as a straight swap (as well as Cumming for Peds/Taylor) but more likely to just see the latter
 
The pathetic lack of effort by anyone associated with the broadcast to look into what Michalanney’s injury even is was staggering.

Do we know for sure yet that it’s a hammy? Could it be a quad? He could barely walk down the race. Fingers crossed it’s not a 6 week injury. Max is a top 6-8 player for us in terms of importance. Probably top 4 against bloody Hawthorn with their bevy of smalls. Shocking timing.

Personally I’m not a Hugh Bond believer (he’s an honest trier, and he’ll put pressure on, but when the ball is in his hands at the top level he’s a complete liability for mine) so I’d be bringing back Cumming and shuffling the deck a bit to get Chayce into the 22 to lock down a small in Max’s absence.
