Everyone does forget that he was drafted as a KPP swingman and Dougal played a fair bit of Back last year with Shaw, Harvey and Butcher playing up front

Our defence looks shaky enough without throwing a ruck/forward down there to hold down a tall defenders post.
Would've thought if we were gonna go down that path then Westhoff would be the one to go back. He couldn't possibly be any more shaky than Carlile was yesterday. He doesn't drop uncontested marks, for one.

So he ended with four goals two behinds. 4.2 ain't too bad! More goals than Dixon this week and last week combined ;)

I kid. But at the same time, this is a good sign. Better than him languishing and not kicking sh*t. Too bad they lost though; the Maggies fell apart in rather embarrassing fashion. I think it was a 45 point turnaround in the last quarter or something? Ugh.

(Unpopular opinion?) Butch IN next week
Only for those who are inflexibly and unforgivingly anti-Butcher. He's earnt a spot in the classic way, by playing well in the reserves when spots are available.

If he comes in at the expense of Howard then he shouldn't come in. His first game was always going to be shaky, especially at a Showdown. Give him a chance against weaker opposition. Playing 1 week in and 1 week out just doesn't work.
Yep totally agree with this.

Meh. I wouldn't trust that final score. They outrun us in the fourth and the umps basically piled a load of bullshit on. Crows deserved the win but that margin was flattering.

We all know where this roller coaster is going to take us but we still want to take it for a ride anyway. Just magnificent. Butch IN!
Didnt we win a few games at the end of the year with him playing. Don't know who he replaces, but could he be any worse than some of the shamozzle that played on the weekend. Please don't answer that.
