God, how I miss Sam Mitchell. That little campaigner had that ruthless streak that Simmo lacks....

Don't get me wrong, I love Simmo, but he keeps playing that unbalanced team and its killing me. Back in 2018 we had more lads running through the guts and we ran games out a hell of a lot better than we do now. I remember being confident even if we were a few goals down, the boys would rally and get us over the line. Obvious example is the QF against the Pies.

Kennedy has to get dropped - tough decision, but I am keen as mustard to see O. Allen get more time as a full time forward, the kid is a gun and would chop up as a full time forward.

McGovern needs to spend some time forward - when the silly campaigner is available to play. Teams have neutralized him and been able to limit his intercept marking. I would love to see him spend time up forward then get swung back when needed.

Brander isnt a wingman. Would like to see him play as the third tall down back so Shep gets a bit more freedom. Schoey is still a good in, freeing up Barass to play the Gov role. Wouldn't mind seeing Shep play some mid minutes either - doesn't lose a lot of 1:1's.

Petrol shouldn't be playing - we should have traded the bloke for a 2nd round pick last year when he had some currency.

Need to get Yeo more involved, maybe Kelly should play some HFF so Yeo can get in amongst it?

Anyway, Kennedy needs to go for team balance. Something like this:

F: Cripps McGovern Ryan
HF: Darling Allen Kelly
C: Gaff Redden Sheed
HB: Jetta Barrass Shep
B: Hurn Schoey Duggan

R: Nata Shuey Yeo

Int: Nelson Brander Hutch Cameron/Cole

Gov to play some backup Ruck. Could be a way to get him more involved.

Darling to the wing for a bit? Aerobic enough and would free up some space up forward.

When is Cameron back? Would get more tackles than Petrol does touches.

Are we trying too hard to get Kelly involved at the detriment of other players? Yeo and Redden need to get involved more.

After that loss again GC, we need to pinch a win against the Bears. Its not do or die but if we are serious about having a crack this year we need to bounce back strongly after that trash that was dished up on the weekend.
