Structure is going to be a challenge.

Take an already top heavy forward line side and bring in a tall forward for a small.

Unless, of course, we are being bullshitted..........
as much as we got taller by replacing polson with charlie, i don't think we got slower

Curnow could be instructed to play between the arcs, so the forwards aren’t on top of each other. Surely he offers more than Polson.

Levi importantly plays 2nd ruck so Harry doesn’t have to. I’d even venture as far to say I prefer Levi to Phillips & Lobbe in the ruck.

Biggest danger in this game will surely be keeping Puopolo and Breust on the leash.

Quietly confident!

Okay. Whilst structurally we are somewhat off, in terms of talent in the team we have improved significantly.

Hoping that this gulf in ability will be enough to surpass the well-drilled and structured Hawthorn.

If Charlie is fit, then great.
Lets all remember, it's not just about the team structure.
The reason we did so much better last week, is we executed so much better and effort/transition was great for 4 quarters.
I'm happy with the team. But have a sneaky suspicion, Cunners will be a late in.
Will be alot happier after we win.
I'm signing out folks from the office.
GO BLUES !!~

Really not a fan of the change, going 4 talls has never really worked for us in the past and can't see it working now.

REally hoping he is a late out for Cuningham. The fact the blues website has the phrase "Should Curnow play" gives me some hope.
Looking forward to seeing the hawks waltz out of our forward line again.

At least we got one week of a balanced side :)

4 talls ...... please no, not again ...
Unless Charlie isn't right and is a late change or is playing somewhere more up the ground, that is not the right way to go here.

Of course Stratton and Shiels return when we play them. Just our luck.
A lot of complaining about 4 talls but it isn’t really. Curnow adds to last weeks side. Polson was non existent. We could leave Curnow on the bench for the whole game and we’d be just as good as last week.

They’ve also brought Stratton and O’Brien in. So they’re pretty tall too.
