2023 - 5th. Tick.
H is not a ruckman, but it was probably worth the experiment.
We missed the leadership of Crippa and Doc, especially when they got too many unanswered goals to set up their win in the 3rd.
Once Charles won the Coleman we struggled to find our hunting form.
Too much 'individual' stuff after half time.
Concerned that their physicality seemed to unsettle us.
Hard to imagine that having secured 5th place, and a home final, didn't impact us above the shoulders.
Importantly, Harry got plenty of it. Tap outs are overrated.

24 disposals, 78% time on ground, Disposal efficiency 70.8%. I don't think he'll be dropped from the 23.

Without going back and checking every game it seems we give our midfielders plenty of breaks.
Cerra 23 disposals 74% game time
Walsh 28 diposals -74% game time
Dow 21 disposals- 75% game time
Hewett 20 disposal- 77% game time
The buggers are only playing 3/4 of a game. :
Pay them 25% less.

A very timely reminder that was reminiscent of earlier in the season when we weren't applying pressure in the midfield and were allowing our opponents to run free. Without that pressure and attack on the player/ball, the giants were able to dissect our defensive set up.
Fisher got a fair bit of the ball but might have played himself out of the finals team because he doesn't perform Saad's role as well as Saad does. There are probably better defensive-minded players who could be selected to free up Saad to do his thing by breaking the lines and kicking with more penetration.

Doc to come in for Fisher probably. Cincotta, Kemp and Gov for general defensive duties while Sydney worry about the trio of Newman, Doc and Saad.

I thought that Cuningham stepped up in Crippa’s absence and played his best game of the season.
He would be stiff to miss out against the Swans.

Couldn't agree more. Can't see him being dropped. So many of his touches are quality and quick releases, not obvious. Important player.

Yep. When the real heat came, Zachery was found wanting. Boyd/Doc offers more heat in the clinches, at body and ball. That goal that Zachery gave away was pure panic on the wrong foot.

Seems to have gotten more midfield time last match. He's the guy we can use as our receiver in the centre bounces and has blistering pace to burn. Not to mention a bloody fine kick too.
