Back in due to a dicky ticker.

Will he play CHF or down back?

Hopefully Cox can handle McKee and Gardiner can have a field day at CHF.

For the first time this week, I'm suddenly not very confident.
Its not good to go in without any real CHF. With neither Gardienr or Cox at 100%, its a bit much to expect them to dominate the ruck *and* provide a marking target up forward. So it seems logical that one of Glass/Carroll/McIntosh/Hunter will be our CHF. As for who- Hunter seems the logical choice due to his FF pedigree from WAFL, but Carroll might be another option- good marking target, impressed when he played up forward against Port last year. The third choice would be Embley.

All this really underlines is we're going to have to cane in the midfield to win this one.

Does anyone know who flew over? Will the replacement be Hunter for certain?

Could we see Howser or the Hulk, or the Train?

As I've stated before re: our forward line, I think we are a tall short, and without Jako, we are for certain. I like Hunter, but for me, bring in a tall regualtion CHF.

rant over

Hunter is 190 cm...Id have to call him a tall!
I think we'll be ok, Either Hunter or Carrol up forward, if that doesnt work....we play Cox in the ruck and Gardi at CHF or vice versa!

Yeah I think so, I want to see him at CHF though not CHB. Players like Hunter, Haynes, Green, COx and Braun have to stand up and show us why they warrant a position in the team! We need them to cover Jako and play their hearts out for us. This will be a good test to see how well they cope under pressure.

Hunter matches up quite well on Tarrant IMO. Carroll would get slaughtered, Milli couldn't match his agility, whilst Glass hasn't played much AFL this year so you never know how he'll cope.

If not, would be nice to see Hunter at FF alongside Haynes.

I reckon we bring Mcdougal in and send Hunter back to play on Tarrant. IMO he's the only option!

Hunter or Carroll to play at CHF you would think. McIntosh can only really play two positions, FB and FF. Glass is an out an out defender so it has to be out of Carroll and Hunter...all comes down to matchups I suppose.
