Why? Sicily, Hardwick, Scrimshaw, Day and CJ are all basically locks for 5 defensive spots out of 7 if fit. Blanck is outplaying him as a KPD, and Morris deserves another game over him too.
Very Petracca-ish game. Albeit with the caveat that North didn’t seem to give him any respect all day whatsoever.
10 coaches votes and 3 brownlow votes.
Day as a defender for Morris, Finn stays. Gunner for Reeves/Kozzie. Those would be my 2 changes. Would like to squeeze Butler in too if he’s fit but don’t want Ward/McDonald out of the side.
Good to see Duke, Moore and Lewis at the heart of the first half smashing. The 3 biggest shining lights...
Conor Nash and Harry Morrison. Are they best 22 the next time we taste finals football?
Shiels is done you’d think, and likely Howe too.
CJ had a mare, but back him to bounce back.
Impey form - concerning.
Lewis and Scrimshaw - jets.
Hopefully Day and Ward are apart of our longer term...
Is there more to it than just midfield? The clearances were close to level today so maybe it’s also to do with the way we move the ball and lack of ability to keep it locked in our front half when we get it there
A potential 2022 starting lineup that contains 1 30+ year old player (Breust), 8 players starting the year between ages 25-29 (Mitchell, Wingard, O’Meara, Sicily, Hardwick, Impey, Howe and Frost) and 13 players starting the year at 24 and under

The ONLY way we get our hands on him is Norf winning 2 of their last 7. Not entirely impossible - they’re a lot more competitive recently, but I think if they get within 2 points of us they tank the season out.
Start playing Reeves again. Cegs is done.
Put a line through Greaves.
Tom Phillips shouldn't be best 22 in 2022.
We were missing lots of good players today, you'd expect that close to half of the side that played today wouldn't be in a R1 2022 team. The big issue is that we had all of our...
Was a very good 5 possession game. It’s like all the things that people say TOB does, Kozzie can actually do. Halves contests when the kicks don’t favour him, and very good physical 2nd and 3rd efforts. We have a good one here. I don’t know if he’ll be an AA but perhaps a quality 2nd tall...
Jaeger for Finn (not ready)
Wingard for Jeka (too tall)
Howe for Phillips

Morrison Mitchell Shiels
McEvoy O'Meara Worpel
Moore Lewis Wingard
Breust Koschitzke Gunston
Scrimshaw, Howe, Cousins, Brockman
Lots of things could be seen as the “difference” in a 3 point win. Breust breaking two tackles I50 and kicking goals, Frost winning a key 1v1 late on Walker, CJ’s weighted kick for Kozi in the first quarter resulting in a goal etc. There’s literally hundreds of moments within a game. Biggest...
Not sure why the TOB lovers always call him the match winner when he does something adequately. Same with the Essendon game, he wasn’t the “difference” lol. He’s made positive contributions in both of those games but let’s not pretend he’s going Dusty finals mode. If anyone was the...
