As for
Ed Curnow as a forward? why?
Ed C as a forward is a strange move I reckon. Just don't understand that one.
Ed is a good hard on-ball player. A good tagger and can run all day. I don't understand why we are trying to change him now.
Jones on Westhoff. Certainly worth a try.

filling onball roles. Having to find a role for Ed isnt right and we need a specialist HFF who can help distribute the footy as well as lock it in...
I'd use SPS in that role if he could be consistent with his tackle pressure/chasing etc as he can use the footy and deliver unlike Ed..

We’re going to struggle against them in Adelaide.

Agree...Ed has to go back tagging and Westhoff has just bagged 5 vs the Dees so its going to have to be Jones who plays on him because he is the only one with the mobility and size.
Port surprised the Dees with their pace and ball movement.....Lycett also out muscled Gawn, wonder if we might play two rucks....

They haven't just bettered the Dees and Gawn, they smashed them!
It was pointless running McKay vs Nankervis, and it'll be twice as pointless running him against Lycett and/or Ryder.
Unless of course our season is about gaining another No.1 pick to wedge Kelly onto the list!
At this stage on a cursory level they are making the same mistake with McKay that they made with Casboult, they are taking a player's A-Game and discarding it for their B-Game.
The other problem for us is it's was Ports hard as nails mids doing the dominating, against Jones, Oliver, Viney, Hibberd, etc., etc.. Next week they have Cripps and a bunch of kids to deal with.

93 uncontested possie advantage to Port...thats a lot of Port players running hard and a lot of lazy Dees players not working hard enough.....Rockliff 44 possies....Dees must have let him run around on his own all day as Rocky isnt known for knocking himself out to get the tough ball.
Agree on McKay....not that comfortable rucking and was brushed aside in a few ruck contests......to Casboult or not to Casboult thats the question?....not sure of Lobbe's injury status?
I'd ruck Jones for some X factor but with our backline lacking proven key talls its not an option....

If we want McKay to learn the role of a mobile KPF who occasionally rucks, running him around tagging Westhoff wouldn't be too bad of an option!

Yep, part of the Stocker deal. Unless we somehow deal ourselves back in, we're out of the 2019 1st round.
