While I’m not convinced with our midfield or even our forwards synergy but I now have no doubts out back 6 are as strong as any going around.  Weitering is a star who is rarely beaten and Young is very much under rated, and now a very capable
2nd tall defender. Newman has improved a lot and is now a reliable lock down small defender and then when you add in the intercepting McGovern and Doc and Saad who are as good as you are going to get as running flankers our back 6 is solid on every line imo.

If we can get our midfield singing and Walsh’s inclusion this week will help we will be a very hard team to score against.

Crows are playing well but still don’t rate them. Many experts had them in the bottom 4 before the season started.

We should and will take care of business again even if Harry doesn’t play.

Blues by 30

I'd be tempted to ask Pitto to ruck far more and put TDK at CHF. I just don't think we have a 'ready made' tall forward in the Magoos to slot in, in H's place. Kemp would have been a possibility but he's being groomed more as an intercept defender. Thoughts? Possibilities?

Desperately need our mids fit and firing together and need them to build cohesion going into the bye.
Adelaide a very good side or Freo are just hopeless not sure yet.

Get Charles up around the arc as he can kick big bombs.
Mirkov in to help Pittonet? Don't know much about the Camry Cows ruck division.
Harry should play anyway, the contact was very light. It just looked a lot worse than it was. A fine would be suitable. Bring in the Kings Counsel for this one.
There was certainly alot worse during the game.
The Cow's Sigilo should get a game for touching an ump. If that was a Carlton player it would be an instant 2 weeks.

They are up and running, playing at home, while we are just going.

TDK is more suited to O'Brien imo who is very mobile and more your modern get involved with general play more type ruck.
