I really hope they keep MM in. Regardless of match ups elsewhere he's earned the right to play in the prelim by virtue of the Adelaide game, plus we really need another REAL forward up there as a target.
I'm a big Grundy fan, but I think LRT is more important down back to us ATM. It's a problem, but a good problem.
Hazah. Now that is the best post in the whole LRT - Grundy debate.Both players are good, both are not without their flaws but rather than just stamping a foot and going, see i tild you Grundy was s**t or I said LRT couldn't hold so and so, lets celebrate the fact we have the depth to choose here, it's sides with depth to choose rather than struggling to cover that win flags.
That said I still think now that Dawes wont play LRT against the pies is better up front. Ben Reid got to sweep the Eagles forwards last night because suprisingly they had a lack of targets, Lynch was a non factor, Kennedy couldnt get in the game, only Darling of the tall timber hurt them in any way. The Eagles only had the 43 inside 50s and many were shallow entries allowing the sweeper to dominate the defence.
By pitting LRT, Reid and Goodes up forward we can do what the Eagles did not, expose their back line depth and fitness and Motorn can run around the 50 meterr mark trying to make contest of nay short entry balls. If we keep there talls struggling up back there going to struggle to be able to throw one up forward and we can than blanket Cloke.
