Strange inclusion when we already have enough tall defenders. Really gotta wonder what the plan is...

Occams razor.
Simplest explanation is Davis didn't pass the concussion test I think.

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

Well I should have mentioned I thought if Taylor plays with Davis then Corr/ Tomlinson miss

Agree we r too tall if we don’t do that

Cant see it, can see Tomlinson playing another role.
We'll find out soon enough I guess.

Davis trained full contact today apparently

He was expected to. I dont know how the Clinical assessment is made, but it might be as simple as a headache afterwards or a lack of coordination.
It's my opinion, we'll find out soon enough.

We'll see but I think this fails Occam's Razor because there'd be no point even naming Davis to the emergencies if he didn't pass the concussion test.

Keep the opposition guessing perhaps? We'll find out soon enough anyway. I just cant make sense of it any other way, doesn't mean there isn't a reason though.

We have too many tall defenders..... let’s debut a tall defender!

Funnily enough they're about all we have that are both fit (unlike our mids) and more or less in form (unlike our forwards).

In all seriousness maybe Leon is just giving up on trying to control Eddie. Just limit his options.

Or

Get the rookie to take him out early.

Not that im promoting the intentional taking out of a player who rips us a new one each time we have played them.

We've played 4 for a long time, and we're certainly not the only club that does. It's fine if there's ground level capacity there, and Corr, Haynes and Davis have that in their skillset IMO.

Im not concerned about going in too tall down back. We have has issues going in too tall but that was a tall forward line. Last week Shaw played lose man across the back but with Eddie playing this week, shaw is likely to go to him and maybe that frees up Davis to play a McGovern type role?

Betts towels shaw up every time he plays on him.

Oh well wrong again. I thought Bunts a possibility but very unlikely. Maybe it is what Danny88 suggested. I have seen Davis playing loose before, but tend to expect Haynes in that role. With Haynes and Taylor both capable intercept markers as well lets hope it works.

 

[Orange Agent]

Lobb's greatest asset when Mummy was still playing was his ability to play anywhere. If we needed to slow game down or defend the last 5mins of a qtr he could play loose back and pluck marks over anyone. Then his confidence was sky high and he would go fwd and do the same thing. Now he is getting battered playing ruck all day, never gets a mismatch because his opponents are now all physically bigger than him. We have a guy like Simpson who can take guys jumping all over him all day long and still get his fair share of hitouts, yet we prefer to play Patton in the ruck instead and have a completely dysfunctional fwd line. And the coach says its because guys need to be able to play more than one role. And now we overload on tall defenders who can only play one position. Its like our selectors have positional racism or something.

Will we find out soon enough yet?

I’m an deadset sick of blokes wailing on Lobb! He has literally played two games as the primary Ruck. One of them was last week where he had 38 hit outs a couple tackles a few inside 50’s and 4 contested marks. What a stitch up! He is so young he needs time to keep putting it together

Dawson is a statue and a step backwards

The fact he doesnt refer to himself in the 3rd person, like in the Movie, annoys me.

I have a weird feeling about this game.

Lose the ones we are expected to win. Win the ones you are expecting to lose

I know what you mean.

We're out of form, struggling with injuries and persistent structural problems. We're away to our greatest bogey team and no-one gives us a chance.

Still, they've been all over the shop this season. They're under huge hometown pressure to redeem themselves after last week. Stranger things have happened.
