Jones really gunned it in the ruck in the NBs before they put him in defence. We mightn't win many tapouts but we'd go alright around the ground not to mention the opposition bodies getting smashed about.

I just hope Kreuzer plays otherwise it could get very ugly.

If Kreuzer is out KJ comes in and rucks the Cam Pedersen role, basically nuisance value. The ball will be on the ground most of the time so it's about halving the contest. Don't upset Jones' momentum in the back or rob us up forward by moving Casboult. Just tell KJ to get off his ar$e and compete.

BB might release the shackles a little so we can run, risk and carry rather than the ultra safe, kick-n-posses, model we're showing at present; the minimize damage style.
We weren't too successful at containing the damage last week Baggers. I would hope we can do a lot better this week and I'm not writing us off for sure.

I agree.
Our young kids have played a lot of football with and against their young kids, there are no starstruck effects to worry about, the outcome is just a kids versus kids issue.

We've lost two defenders in White and Williamson and a key forward in McKay and we've included three utility types and a small forward struggling to get a kick in the VFL, none of whom are noted for their defensive skills.
Essendon will need to have a very bad day or Murphy and Gibbs will need to have 80 touches between them.

Actually Pickett was very effective in last week's win from all report. 2 goals and plenty of activity....
i think they're good ins given the fast style the Bummers employ.
Willo has looked cooked ever since he's come back and similarly White off the pace similarly....

Pickett had his best game for a month and still had single figure possessions, the ins are about the best we can manage but I wouldn't call them good.
