Mmmmm... Lynch, Riewoldt as tall targets, with Martin as the third target, Higgins, Butler and Rioli mopping up.

Will be incredible to watch.
Dusty forward rather than in the guts? I think Lynch needs a couple of weeks, not sure you should risk him

Looking forward to seeing what Curnow, McKay, McGovern, Fisher, Cuningham, plus a resting Cripps can do

Yeah, Dusty 50% forward and 50% mid will be a 25 and 4 game.

Lynch will be underdone no doubt. He kicked 7 with a busted knee last time he played Carlton so if he plays I’d back him to kick at least two even if he’s blowing hard 5 mins in.

Cuningham needs to make the forward pocket position his own. He sure as hell won’t make it as a mid and looks better than the lazy Garlett and trier Polsen (good St Peters boy nontheless). Fasolo will be straight in to take his spot when he’s fit so Thursday is make or break for him. Good luck to the lad.

Reckon Gov is underdone. A fair knee into his back in a marking contest will test that fractured spine. Wouldn’t expect too much from him but he’s a decent long term pickup.

Yeah that sounds like an absolute nightmare for opposition defences.
What an instant impact Higgins has made, those names are all dangerous on paper and opposition teams need 3-4 good small defenders as they can all kick goals.

I almost want Lynch to play in the hope he won't be quite match fit / rusty and may even throw off your forward line cohesion in his first game.
