Steel nullifies Crippa. Sinclair plays AA form. Membrey and their fast crafty small forwards have danced around our defence. Big improvements in those areas and we're a chance.
Saints by 18
Same page here, LN.
We would have to play the best game under Vossy thus far to have a chance of winning. If we start the way we finished the last game, it could be ugly. If we rebound with real heat, confidence and consistency over four qtrs we're a slim chance... but that's hard to see as we still have a few passengers obviously down on form and a disrupted continuity.

Need Hewett and Kennedy to double their efforts and if they do that with Walshy having a game under his belt should be okay.
But it's Hewett and Kennedy for me as they bring other players into the game like Fisher. We need to draft more smalls by the looks of it.

I don't get fans complaining, so many who wanted to solo ruck scenario are now complaining about TDK being rested, but one event is a consequence of the other, a solo ruck is unsustainable for a full AFL season.
This isn't 1965, and rucks don't get to stroll from stoppage to stoppage while they watch general play!
Some fans might use Marshall as an example to counter that, but they are just looking at the lists and not watching the games, the Aints have a whole strategy to reduce Marshalls workload allowing him to spend as much time as possible at stoppages.

I read on BF that Mirkov may be injured, can anyone confirm? Maybe that's why a second ruck wasn't included.

Yep.
Now this is what irks moi in relation to our MC... you've got an almost 200 cm bloke, in v good form, in the Magoos and with a bit of imagination and creativity you could have had tall Durds as a 2nd ruck, replacing (this is where people hurl rotten tomatoes at me) an out of form, JSOS. The bloke has good defensive skills and takes a good grab... just a thought. Our MC is so fkn rigid in their thinking.

I'm hoping Cerra, George, and MK get plenty of decent disposals. Cerra has been ok so far, working hard and has reasonable disposal. The others have crows game together to learn (a lot) from. If the mids click and provide the right i50 option from the bounce. We may be able to scrap it out. If they don't, it'll be a long 4q.
Go Blues
Wishing Cincotta a productive and satisfying debut.

Maybe its a decoy naming TDK as an emergency, maybe he will come in for someone.
