Yep a totally crazy out there idea but Tucky has played CHF and CHB? once or twice in past so a key position isn't totally foreign to him. He also won't take a backward step to a big lug like Biglands and we need to get Joel away from full-back so we can generate some run from the half-back line.
I can't think of anyone else other than giving McGuane a second chance if he stays in, who might find it easier on a less nimble forward, or even Lids who's roughly the same size as Tuck and wouldn't have to worry about breaking a tag down there. Paddy is tall but I can't see him at FB and we need Richo up forward.
As for other match-ups, we need to stop the attacking rebounds of McLeod and Johncock out of their defence. Terry said in the Adelaide Advertiser we'll do this. Newman has done a run-with role on McLeod before. Went for Krak in a forward pocket on Johncock but I wouldn't be surprised if Polo got the gig as he ran with Paul Williams last week and did ok.
Lastly went with all 3 ruckmen Simmonds, Knobel and Staff to desperately add some size.
Thoughts?
