This week its Cameron and Cox who I thought were ok vs the Swans, but I dont think they are dominant ruckman like the Melb pair and agree that one specialist ruck plus Jack should suffice.
I'd give Setterfield the job on DeGoey if he plays in the middle or Crisp....Id be expecting Degoey to play forward though given his injury and the fact he has dined out on us there in previous games.
Excellent suggestion.
Will show whether Setterfield has what it really takes to be a senior footballer.

Yep, Setterfield seemed to relish a specific, clearly defined task.

Wasn't Owies trying to come off with cramp? If so, it was a miracle the kick went in the same post code as the intended target.

Owies tried to do the right thing but had poor execution.
LOB slapped the ball forward into space which is what you would do if you are 1 point behind not in front.

He did some okay things but wasn't as big an influence on the match as some of the media analysts are trying to suggest.
When the Demons needed a key play at crucial times in the match, Oliver was well involved every time, granted he is a very difficult player to quell for a full 100-mins.
Setterfield played well though and was generally reliable with the ball which hasn't been his forte imho.

Having Newman injured didn't help but to see someone like Melksham kick 4 goals infuriates. Was there a role for Plowman or has his form been such that he just didn't deserve a game?
In fact, our overly "tall" backline was very close in size to Melbourne's forwards. Plowman and Marchbank (who are the same size) can play on taller or smaller opponents so I don't think we would have gained anything by swapping those two. Our only other possibility was Kemp - just a smidegeon smaller than Plowman and Marchbank - and I think he could have been a good match up with Melksham. Kemp's not really in great form in the magoos. On top of that, Melksham had few touches and five goals from his last four games and you aren't really going to expect him to play his best game since he kicked five against four years ago.
While Doc was a good contributor in the midfield, he was missed in defence. Newnes, as our seventh defender, loses his opponent too often and Stocker isn't yet as reliable as he should be.

I wonder if David King has watched the replay yet?
With three minutes to go we had an extra two players behind the ball. That's why Gawn didn't have an opponent when he kicked inside 50 for Melksham to mark (in a two on four contest).

King and Montagna said we didn't do a lot wrong.
