Sucks that Tim is out.. but just hear me out..
We have a genuine tap ruckman in. Who will maybe ruck 60% of the game. Great for our mids.
Then we have Schache forward (second ruck) with Naughts and Jamarra then as the third tall.
Cordy stays down back which then allows O’Brien third tall.
I don’t hate it..

So who plays forward and who plays back out of Schache and Cordy?
I have a feeling it will be Schache back and Cordy forward. Has Schache been playing back or forward at VFL?

Nah it's not the training loads. Basically we had to let go some of our physio team due to soft cap constraints, so Bevo has been giving the boys all their hammy massages. Unfortunately he can be a bit rough sometimes.
Every time I read your posts Scrag, I get halfway, I think you’re being serious.. and then BANG.

Wallis' mother-in-law was hit by a car on Monday and killed I'm told, so that is the reason he is out... His wife is due very soon too.
Gee whiz out depth is looking thin. Suddenly we have talls galore but barring Naughton and Gardy they’re all pretty suspect. Big question marks on Cordy, Martin, Schache and JUH. Let’s hope a few of them can stand up and be counted. My bet’s on swing man Schack

Yeah this is what I was getting at before - it’s the most traditional structure we’ve played in that long - will be interesting to see how we go with it. Unfortunately Martin & Schache offer zero marking to go with a backline of Cordy & Gards who offer zero marking & Jamarra who at this point in time offers zero marking. So whilst we’ve got the talls we don’t exactly have a lot of marking power unfortunately.
If the traditional tall structure stands up over the next few weeks without English it’ll say a LOT tho

Stef Martin didn't look that fit pre-season but he seems to have has racked up a few touches in the vfl. At least two 20+ disposal games, surely he can't be covering the ground that badly!

He’s been covering the ground really well to be honest, looks easily as fit and healthy as he did early last year imo and he was up to the standard then so I think he’ll go okay. Even got up for a few good contested marks last week - I just hope we don’t break him down by trying to ruck him one out - ideally I think I’d be going both Martin & Sweet whilst Timmy’s out

I suspect Schache is gonna be in for one of those games where he gets thrown around a bit, ruck, forward, back, wherever needed at the time.
Schache did a good job on Walker last year. Could really free up O’Brien which would be handy.

The only positive I can take out of this is that. Martin can’t run out a full game by himself in the ruck so we’ve been forced to play a more conventional structure. 3 tall forwards, 3 tall defenders and a ruckman. We’re missing 3 of our best 4 KPP but I’m excited to see a proper structure all over the ground.
If you go by the Adelaide board Riley O'Brien is in career-worst form. Not bad news for us.
Maybe I missed this earlier but Hannan is battling concussion???

And a more traditional ruck at that, going to be very interesting to see how our midfield performs
Yep still lingering

I hope Stef goes well. He's been looking quite good in the VFL, moving freely and having a considerable impact on games. He hasn't looked totally cooked body wise so hopefully he can do his job and hold down the fort for a couple of weeks if needed.
