Like it. We're the best contested marking team in the comp. Time to exploit our strength. Long bombs to Poppy no longer.
Can't wait.

but they don't all need to play as forwards. When we played Macca/Cegs/Lewis against GWS it worked very well and I believe Macca was midfield/behind the ball for the majority, where as cegs and lewis were primarily forwards. We already have Gunston, Lewis, Ceglar as tall forward options, so we don't really need that from Pitto right now.Of course, but Pittonet is completely ineffectual as a forward. McEvoy and Ceglar aren't.
Cannot fathom how we are the best contested marking team in the comp while continually bombing it long on top of Poppy's head. If those kicks were to someone 10cm taller we'd be doubling the comp's average contested marksLike it. We're the best contested marking team in the comp. Time to exploit our strength.

Not really. Pitto rucks 80% bench 20%. Cegs rucks 20% Fwd 70% Bench 10%. Pretty standard. We have played two ruckman for around 147 of the past 150 games not sure why anyone would think that would change.Pittonet will need to play somewhere when he isn't rucking and Ceglar is. If it's only bench, it hurts rotations. He will not have the Stamina to run with someone like Martin all game. And Brisbane have also brought in Smith.
Clarko and that know better then me, so I'm sure they will have a plan. May be a late out, who knows.
Anyhow, no point derailing the thread with this.
Yep - i must say i feel a bit more confident about this game. You're right that the long bombs are gone, as clarko has been tweaking things ( imho of course ).Like it. We're the best contested marking team in the comp. Time to exploit our strength. Long bombs to Poppy no longer.

Unfortunately you get the feelimg that KBs papers have been stamped by Clarko if he cant get a game on the back of his 30 possession 18 mark game.Brand stiff to miss out after his game last week albeit no obvious role with TOB still in the team - would love to see him get an extended run as he has good attributes for a KPD and would hopefully be able to work out his kinks with a bit of confidence

A pity as i like you think he has some good traits.
The Carlton game stamped his papers. Horrific running back to goal.KB seems to have improved in the air, but still a liability once the ball hits the ground. Not gonna get past Frawley until that changes.
We've played Rough, Bog Boy and Cegs in lots of games in the past. Can't see that this side is structured much differently.Well **** me did not see all of Lewis, Ceglar and Pittonet. I hope this doesn't backfire.
Plus Impey's no slouch.Smith, along with Scully and Hendo gives us some serious running power if we can win enough of it inside.
Frawley will go to Hipwood, Hardwick on Cameron. Maybe Shiels might tag Neale.

Make a stand this week and not let that pest Robertson man handle Breust.
What he got away with last year, Tasmania game particularly was disgraceful.
Also play through Hodges opponent, the great man one on one is completely finished, the minds still sharp but the bodies cooked.
Like to think Clarko circled this one pre season after our meek efforts last year against this mob, twice.
