I'm not sure that spending a lot of time on the throne is restful EB

Agree with most of the sentiments on here. Charlie and Marchbank are just a bonus if they get fit and find some form....but we need to rely on the others. I still think we can find room for Levi, Pitto and TDK in the same team....Levi as CHF and Pitto/TDK sharing the ruck duties...and might just depend a bit on the teams we're playing as to match ups. With the likes of Murphy, Fisher, Gibbons, Fogarty etc as small forwards, Cunningham will get squeezed out unless he shows some exceptional form in the VFL and can stay fit. Similary, SPS will need to go up a few gears to hold his spot with Saad and Williams into our best 22.

His leadership is important to them... about evens it up re talent missing for the game. No excuses.

Lyon far too often talks in clipped, idiosyncratic speech patterns IMO, and there are many times when it's hard to figure out the points he's trying to make. The best I could figure out is as follows :
1. Cripps might have to follow Cotchin's example and play a kick behind the ball, because he's not a great runner ?
2. Our defenders are same same and SPS is too soft, or maybe they're all soft, and shows a graph comparing years in the system between our defenders and the Tigers ? says we should not worry about system and become hard nuts like the 2000 Essendon defenders.
3. And the obligatory point about too many 5 goals lapses under Teague.
Hard to argue with anything Lyon said. Our backline is good, very good, but still needs to take that next step to 'hardness'.
They had that chat before Cotchin was ruled out. Tiggers have won well without Cotchin in the past... however, with his leadership and general footy smarts missing it does even things up, somewhat.
Ross summarily dismissing any chance for us to win, surprised me a bit... not even a thought, just 'no chance'. Mmmm....

Not just Ross, the entire panel, as well as most on here.

He also didn't rule out coaching Carlton if the opportunity arose

23rd men
Tigers. - Jack Ross
Carlton - Oscar McDonald. - Nailed it!

Our side will be smaller than normal anyway, and thus be easier to cover a small injury.
We get our tall insurance with him as the 23rd player.

He needs to start the car, back out the driveway, drive down the street, get on the freeway and get into 5th (IMO he only has two gears, Slow and Stop)
