We eventually ran over the Tankers last week with pace and fitness. To achieve a similiar outcome against the Roos we will need to replace Johnson and Howart with midfielders to add to the bench rotations.

While I would love to see Morton in to play up either end I think this week a better inclusion would be Tiv and Hyde. Even though they are both maligned they have the experience, the Coburg good form and the stronger bodies to compete in the centre.

As the year progresses I would prefer to see players like Edwards, White, Polo, Connors, Casserly and Collins included over these two but at this stage I believe Tiv and Hyde will be the most likely choices.

Last time Brent Harvey and Shannon Grant got 60 possessions between them and tore us to shreds.

Who do you ppls think should get the jobs on them on Sunday?

Kingy on Harvey, self-explanitory. 

Jacko on Grant, quicker than Grant, and also taller if he goes for a wander down to the forward line. 

Like the idea of Kingy on Harvey as he has the pace and mongrel to go with Harvey. The only problem I see is we'll need someone small and quick down back for their goalsneak Thomas.

Amen. 


If it is wet like forecast:

IN: Morton, Edwards, Polo
OUT: Johnson, Howat, Moore


If its dry Moore can stay with one of the out but I cant pick which one.

If Polo's shoulder isn't right then I don't think we should pick him.

That is true but maybe it just needed another week.

if polos shoulder was not right he would not have played for coburg, e.g. cogs was not right and he didn't play

This is what I was referring to X.

Polo - coming back from a shoulder. Not 100% yet with his tackling.

Fingers crossed. Let me just rephrase my sentence.

If Polo's shoulder is ok we should pick him.  lol.

Especially this week with North. The bigger bodies of the Roos will want to play tough and tight in close so if Polo's shoulder isnt 100% right for tackling it'll be exposed.

I agree with you in terms of what I personally would prefer but I still think you will find that Tiv is called up and Hyde particularly givien that Polo could be still injuried and Morton is not a typical running midfielder.

My choice for inclusions would be -

(1)  Polo

(2)  Morton

(3)  Edwards

(4)  White

(5)  Cass

Clear space then Rance, Collard etc etc and then Hyde & Tiv.

But I think we will go with experience and size this week over potential.

Just my humble opinion of course

No Tivendale.
Happy with those picks. Maintains the balance of the squad.

Edwards will return in no time.
