Clarkson would be dark as hell on the Dawks letting six goals through during time on in the first three quarters.
By contrast we have form in allowing teams to do that.
They kicked 7 goals 15. Make it 13 goals 9 and the whole game may have been very different.

They still kicked 90 points, and we have only gone over 90 points 3 times in the last few years.
The cats are solid across the park, and have premiership players everywhere. By contrast the young Hawks were in the game without 4 of their top liners playing.
It wasnt until Dangerfield scored to extend their lead again that the game was over.
Um no Thry, the Cats kicked the first score of the final term - a goal - at the 7 minute mark - lead 36 points.
They then fell asleep more or less.
Yes, the Hawks kicked the next 3 but the game was curtains......"in the balance"? I think not.

I'd almost take the punt and play him off the bench, be a good player for the Hawks Henderson who seems in rare form this season...

Well, with LOB and Polson in the 22, we're only playing 20 anyway?
But no, our back line looks goood, let's ease Willo into it.....

That would be a huge ask for a guy who cannot be match fit given the amount of footy he has played. Henderson covers a lot of km's. I expect Tom to have another couple ofgames in the NBs

Cuners a certain in me thinks.....obvious swap for Polson.
Kennedy for LoB would be ,y other change.

I just dont want someone like Obrien lining up on Henderson, Wingard, Bruest, Poppy etc...cant see the last three all having another average game.
Matchups and selections have cost us games in the past we should have won, Beveridge ballsed up the Dogs selections by playing two newbies and leaving
Trengove out. We need to get it right vs the Hawks and have the right players in to suit the conditions and type of opponent and have options.
This is a very winnable game given how injury struck the Hawks are and nothing annoys me more than seeing the wrong team selected.

EB, for a bloke who's played so little footy in the last 18 months and played, I'm led to believe, about 90 minutes of game time on the weekend, it would be a massive ask on the kid to come in and play this week. I think in terms of height down back we've got Jones, Weitering and Marchbank and then Plowman too. We're all keen to see him back playing at the top level given what he showed in 2017 but not a lot too be gained by risking him at this stage.
I think Newman probably gets the gig on Puopolo who always seems to kick goals against us. Jones gets Roughy. If Kennedy is fit then he's probably the obvious in for Polson or O'Brien and if Cunningham comes up then they probably both come in for those two?

Jack Russell made it clear on his injury update that the focus is on getting players right to go and stay in once they come back from injury (eg Marchbank). He said its all about getting loads into them so they can stay on the park. He said this in reference to Macreadie and Willo. Its a precise science and we now have the best in the business, lets back him in I say. He also said this week we will have our lowest injury rate in a while so its working.

And there is no need to rush him, nor Macreadie for that matter. The latter shapes as Jones' replacement when the time comes (good few years yet hopefully)?
