Hird and Lucas

[Darealrath]

Should come in, with Rioli and Allan forced out. But this leaves us a ruckman short, so what to do ?

Bradley would do alright around the ground but i'd like to see Laycock get a go. Either way they'd only be rucking a collective quarter you think, which might favour Bradley because he can be used in the midfield for the rest of the time.

Hopefully Hille will thrive as the no.1 which he has done before, and did last night after a suspect start.

So if either of Bradley or Laycock come in we'll have to make another change, and unfortunately it will probably be Alvey, despite showing a bit again last night. Murphy looked to me to have some trouble with his thumb or something so he might need a rest, despite doing his part again.

Carlton aren't particularly tall so i'd be worried if he went in too tall.

Thoughts ?

Ted or Bolts may be used as a running ruckman.

Deluca got injured yesterday and is likely to miss with a shoulder injury. Leaving Carlton much in the same position as us. Prendergast who has also spent time in the ruck is also injured at the moment.

They may bring Mott in.

And I don't think Laycock is playing in the VFL today, correct me if im wrong.

I would love to play Fletcher in the ruck, but a) we need him down back, and b) we dont need him getting a knee in either the back or knee. Yes, it might be stupid putting him in the middle, but he has the fitness and skill to be a back up. Its just that he's needed on Fev.

Laycock hasnt performed consistently in the VFL, but this might just be the spur that he needs (ie Cupido last night).

Whatever happens, Sheedy would know that Carlscum would love to put us out of the finals next week. No complacency!!!


BTW M_J#1, no room for Welly in your side?

Hirdy said that welly will be back the week after carlton on the sunday footy show...but even then i really dont know who i would drop for him to come back in
i like richards down back

Bradley as 2nd ruckman. As long as he can give a contest at the ball ups and throw ins for five minutes each quarter, he'll be good value with his mobility.

Rama or Murphy should make way.

bradleys played pretty well in his few games and it would be interesting to see how he goes in the ruck.

if not bradley laycock would be good. give him some match experience. see how he goes.
