Win a few extra taps but get smashed everywhere else and end up.worse off. Nowhere in our side's structure can we play two rucks anyway now bar the next 2 weeks.
With Charlie out would prefer to play a small or bring in Levi if you really want a relief ruck. We may even chose the status quo, so to speak, and pick Kerr.
I think its horses for courses.......Lycett and Ryder are decent players and more the physical type of ruckman who want to bang bodies, think you need the extra help to combat them.
Two weeks in a row now they have ganged up and worn down Gawn and now Philips...
re: Swans...Been running Sinclair with Sam Reid as backup ruck....much like us with Philips and Harry so I wouldnt be playing the extra ruckman this week.
Philips and Lobbe isnt ideal as neither are much chop down forward and it does mess with your structure and rotations...I guess our old friend Levi is the happy medium as he can offer something down forward..
re: Kerr.....impressed in the ruck in the twos as he mobile and handy around the ground but alas I think opportunities will be rare unless we get some major injuries....

I didn't see the game and have seen little vision since, however, the biggest problem I believe is that for two weeks in a row we haven't scored a goal in an entire quarter. What I think we need to be able to do is to some how scramble a couple of goals when the ball isn't running our way. Against Richmond in that first quarter we either didn't hit a target or our forwards didn't get to where the ball was going. If we would have been able to kick a couple of goals in that first quarter against Richmond and a couple of goals in the second quarter against Port, the whole narrative of those games would be different and would mean that we would be in stronger positions at three quarter time which in turn makes it easier to run out the games. We need to learn how to kick goals, not only when we are controlling the game, but also when we are not controlling the game.

I would have thought Casboult is the obvious replacement for Charlie. His form has been reasonable in the pre-season and he seems fitter. He is a competent second ruck and gives us a marking target. Also McKay would not need to ruck. I also think Jack should be in the side.

Was anyone else surprised by how effective Weiters was against Westhoff?
For me Westhoff wouldn't have been a good match-up for us, he's quite mobile, fast for his size, and a highly aerobic player yet Weiters really seemed to stitch him up.
It will be interesting to see if any fans there on the day have some insight in to how this panned out!

Weiters has improved significantly I think and Westhoff is not getting any younger.

Westhoff didnt move around enough and the delivery in the wet wasnt great...he isnt a strong overhead mark and I thought JW played him very well
and blocked his run, most of his possies were further up the ground than near the goals and ineffective. Weitering was safe with his intercept marking and didnt panic using it either.
I think Port missed Dixon too who is a bit of rogue animal running into opposing players which made life easier....

For mine:
OUT: C. Curnow, Fasolo, Garlett
IN: Kreuzer, Kennedy, Silvagni
Play both Kreuzer and Phillips and leave McKay as a permanent forward. Gibbons and Polson split the small forward role and let Fasolo find some form in the VFL. Feel like a broken record but Garlett is not a defender.
Weitering and SPS look to have really stepped up a bit this year and Walsh is probably in the best half dozen players in our team already.
Silvagni has had good form in the VFL and deserves another crack at it. Sydney are gettable this week but if we leave too much to too few again, the result will be the same.

He only kicked the 5 in R1.

I thought Weiters was our best on the weekend. Kept a pretty good opponent completely out of the game and was able to positively impact pretty well.
Progress as a player looking to be getting back on track which is brilliant news.
