Who is Rupert?We could the be Too Tall with Both Reid and Cox
Dermie says he's gone.You think? It looked to me like he was attacking the ball then turned to protect himself when he realised he would be second to it. Not only that, but did he collect Phillips in the head? Looked like he got his shoulder on the replay I saw.
Id play them both with no hesitation. Witg our current team, when you factor in rotations, we only have the preferred 2 4 forsard set up for about 60% of the game and have 1 5 for the other 40%. Play Reid in the rotation, give Grundy a lighter load, get Mihocek or Reid to rotate for Moore's interchange minutes. Bingo 2 4 for the whole match. No extra midfield rotation burden because all you've done is use a tall to cover the tall rotations, rather than using a small.The Reid/Cox debate isn't clear. Reid is much better bellow the legs and in close. I like mike123 changes with Cox in and Reid maintaining his spot.
Play them both
He chose to bump. There was a bloke with head over the ball. He's in trouble. His only hope is a bit of AFL corruption to have him playing indigenous round.In regards to Varcoe I think that if the club can prove he was attempting to pick up the ball he will get off. By the letter of the law it says if you choose to bump and collect someone in the head then you’re guilty but I don’t think he chose to bump. He chose to go in hard and collect the ball and at the same time he accidentally made high contact. They are two totally different actions.
Wouldn’t surprise me if Buddy came back. But there’s not many one week quad injuries for 30 year midfieldersKennedy & Buddy to play, that’s how it usually works against us.

Sorry I forgot Dermie was in charge of the MRO.Dermie says he's gone.
I’m just dissapointed he didn’t get more kudos for all but taking out both Phillips...Dermie says he's gone.
Given his own appalling record of violence on the football field, it's quite fun watching Dermie moralise about unfair hits in football.Sorry I forgot Dermie was in charge of the MRO.

That’s real deal stuff.
Three points in a canon in billiards as it were.
It's a different moral landscape that we all live in now.Given his own appalling record of violence on the football field, it's quite fun watching Dermie moralise about unfair hits in football.
What have I done... Phillips SV Phillips.Get your Tom and Eds right Saintly.
True but not all of us took advantage of a lack of morality on the football field in times past. Not that I or most other folk had any opportunity to throw our bodies around with willful force at AFL or any senior level. You can't do much damage from a comfy chair or on your back on a couch.It's a different moral landscape that we all live in now.
Buddy won’t playIs Moore actually injured or was he just rested? He's the one we need the most, especially considering Langdon's likely absence. And Buddy is a likely inclusion.
Buddy won’t play
There's some chance of Reid/Cox/Mihoceck working, but I don't like it and would only consider it if JDG was out (ie. play Reid ahead of Wills).Id play them both with no hesitation. Witg our current team, when you factor in rotations, we only have the preferred 2 4 forsard set up for about 60% of the game and have 1 5 for the other 40%. Play Reid in the rotation, give Grundy a lighter load, get Mihocek or Reid to rotate for Moore's interchange minutes. Bingo 2 4 for the whole match. No extra midfield rotation burden because all you've done is use a tall to cover the tall rotations, rather than using a small.
As you say, we oscillate between a 2 tall and 1 tall forward lineup, but I like that. Our one tall lineups with JDG, Stevo, WHE, Elliott in the square are fantastic. You can still do that with two tall forwards on the field but not so easily, there's always a chance they'd get in the way. De Goey and WHE play fairly tall anyway without the mobility issues of a tall.
Soon see how good your vibe is. Or call it the legislation, call it the Mabo. Actually, maybe not against Sydney. The vibe will be just fineWhen we have two talls up forward, we generally still have JDG or Stephenson starting in the square, becasue they are just so awesome.
Perhaps you're right - the 1 5 may work better for us than the 2 4. I hadn't really thought about that being a possibility, because you hear a bit about us preferring the 2 4 structure. I'd hope that the club has done a bit of analysis of data to see which set up is actually more effective for us.
I'm more just pointing out if we go with Reid, Cox and Mihocek in the 22, it doesn't necessitate a 3 3 forward line for much of the game, and that at the moment we actually only have the 2 4 forward line for a bit over half the game. If we want to maintain a 2 4, we actually need to play a tall on the bench as part of the rotation, but if the 1 5 is actually more dangerous than the 2 4, then you wouldn't consider playing all 3 of them. My vibe test suggests we don't look quite as good when Cox is off or in the ruck, but that could just be me having grown up in the era were KPFs were king and I love seeing the big blokes clunking big marks.
A rather pathetic case of death following over excitement a week earlierFunny this is the week Carlton go horribly..,
