I suspect Mac will go to Tex and try to run off him

Probably, didn't really work out last time though with Tex picking up 4 goals. I can't say I'm worried what Mac does in this game, Gold Coast are middle of the road when it comes to a transition game and we are a lot better defensively then the last time we met.

I think it may be Nank instead of Pedlar. If be happy with either option.

Possible, and that would give an extra wing option, which may be a way around having a dead spot in the forward line.
 
Nope, not even Port. Happy to criticise certain things, like Ken’s smugness at times or this ridiculous ‘foot injury’ that’s caused fatness thing, but nothing against the club as a whole.
Boooo 😝

Interesting.

So, you save your vitriol for the Crows then? :sneaky:

I call it as I see it. And because I take much more interest in us, I see more decisions to criticise. But if you want to cheer on the likes of Birdbrain because he’s being paid by the club, go your hardest. We’ve been just magnificent over the last 7 or so years.
 
Dowling must be wondering what he has to do. Not even on the extended bench.

Very happy to see we didn't turn back to Murphy upon injury.

ANB, Peatling and Milera are safe on the bench. So one extra player to be named in the 22 (Jones?) and one more as sub.

I reckon he’s not seen as being a viable replacement for a small forward spot and there’s not anything else on offer. Shame, looked like he belonged last year.
 
He's shorter than Cook.

Height isn't the deciding factor. We've only ever used Dowling on the wing or inside midfield, which means they're the only spots we see him as a viable option.
 
AND ... he can't take a joke:

That's hilarious.
I've been one of the most outspoken critics of Nicks since Round 4 last year: eg
but you just assumed I'm a happy-clapper because I poked fun.

Lighten up, or pick a softer target. I have plenty of time to retort.
We’ve been just magnificent over the last 7 or so years.
Sarcasm, right? Save it for the happy-clappers chum.

I have hated, loathed, despised the last 7 years.
This year is much better but cold comfort (because I do not think Nicks can take us to a Flag)
and because
it's overwhelmed by the misery since the 2017 GF for me :sadv1:.

There’s a bit more to it than height. Cook is a forward and brings some dynamism, Dowling more a tall mid type. I’d give him a go, but I don’t think he’s in that queue.
Only role I think Dowling plays AFL is either wing/outside mid or perhaps in a Tom Lynch high half forward role because he does have excellent endurance, contested game is not strong enough IMO to play inside mid.
 
Presumably Nank or Pedlar for Cook.
Also Jones may come into 22 to play on Cook's wing with Nankervis or Pedlar Sub.

Also, could switch Taylor to sub for Pedlar starting.

Few options.
 
Bond suggests maybe we are thinking of tagging Rowell? If he's sub and Rowell is dominating we might put Bond on.
Doubt it.

Reckon we will run one of our main mids with Rowell.

Perhaps a challenge for Berry as they both love to tackle.
