On the other side, stoked to see Answorth getting a game. Noah used to dishpig at one of my old barista gigs before he was drafted. Absolutely ripper kid.

We're playing 2 rucks, expect Draper and Bellchambers to rotate forwardVery good ins. I like all of them. Don’t like Hibberd out with CEY named. We’re too small in the midfield against one of the best contested ball winning sides in the competition. Zaharakis or Smith should have been managed instead.
McKernan coming out leaves Draper and Stewart as our key tally. Don’t know about that.
Doubt it with their forward line.May result in Francis playing forward.
What I mean by that is Draper playing his first game from an ACL and Stewart playing his first game in over 700 days. Not sure how it’ll go. I hope they’re not too rusty.We're playing 2 rucks, expect Draper and Bellchambers to rotate forward

Ah, fair enough. First time I've been excited by the changes in a while.What I mean by that is Draper playing his first game from an ACL and Stewart playing his first game in over 700 days. Not sure how it’ll go. I hope they’re not too rusty.
Anyway, it’s the best we can do at the moment as McKernan hasn’t trained much this week.
Was really strong in the first quarter and looked at home when given some time on the ball. Was among the best players in the first quarter. He was quieter after that when moved to a flank/wing. His kicking is solid and he is strong over the ball and also among the highest tacklers. Calling him sh*t is just wrong, there were many worse than him.Hibberd was at least actually involved last week - which probably makes it his best game by default - but he was still pretty sh*t.
Sure, he got more of the ball. But he looked slow a number of times, and his kicking didn’t look too flash.
Cant dislike the changee
Draper won’t play as long as Worsfold’s around. Middle of next season is earliest for him. He didn’t play last time he was fit and in form, no reason to believe he’ll be played now.
First time in awhileWe look tall
God that Hibberd omission shits me. The correct Hibberd "learning" from last week was that he should be played on ball, not on the wing and now he's dropped altogether.
Anything that requires mobility around the ground should involve Draper, TBC will probably take the centre bounce and then park himself somewhere he can take a mark.Really hope the plan isn't to play Draper as a forward the majority of the time.
In fairness apart from Stringer we can barely kick a decent score with those guys in the side. A change up i50 might just be what this team needs.Laverde, McKernan and Langford out of forward line on top of Raz, Stringer. Hard to see is kicking a decent score
Absolutely right. His old method meant it was no surprise at all when he missed. Hopefully our specialist coaches have convinced him of the merit of a set shot routine involving a straight line approach and a measured run up to the kick.It was. Or was it the finals of '17? ******* Covid, time is out of joint, seems like a decade ago.
Also, I think I read in the training reports that he has finally lost that god-awful stutter-step goal kicking thing which was crippling him. God, that used to be hard to watch. Like a giant red setter trying to pass a bag of peach pitts...
Yuck side on paper but ah well, the game isn’t played on paper. Let’s do this lads.
Too tall?We look tall
