I still think Levi is a better option as backup ruckman than taking McKay out of the forward line....his contested marking has been the feature of his game this year and he's more potent when taking them up forward. Charlie is the one that needs to pull his finger out this week. And I'd still have Ed following one of Pendlebury/Sidebottom around....let either of those off the leash to rack up 30+ possessions and their forwards will dine out.
Reid was in fair form last week for the Pies, kicked 1.4 though, Mihocek probably has a couple of cm on Williamson but would be too strong for him body wise. Tom still looks a bit underdone physically, I'd play him on Stephenson who is the same height but doesnt play in a physical manner and prefers to find space and always seems to be the man on the end of the joe the goose goals
Problem matchups will be Elliott and DeGoey...no obvious players in our lineup to take them, hoping DeGoey plays midfield more with Beams and Adams out..... dont sell Rupert Wills short either, big unit for a mid and been tearing it up in the twos and would be playing more seniors if the Pies were not so deep.
Fisher for Sidebottom, Ed for Treloar and Dow for Pendlebury...Cripps will get Greenwood regardless of what we want anyway with maybe Mayne rotating with Greenwood....
Have the feeling McGovern may start down back this week, maybe even on DeGoey...Bolton indicated in his presser we may get more creative which is good for the team and him as he is fairly rigid and subdued with his creative side when it comes to tactics IMO.
