Might cost Freo a quarter or two before they realise there will be no JSos rucking, and if its working out well, we get the bonus of being able to use TDK and JSOS to stretch the opposition defense.
If it goes poorly it could be a losing tactic, but its worth a crack this week as the alternative is probably not dissimilar anyway.
Mirkov would be giving away 8kg to Darcy but I guess that's not a lot when you're 104kg. Mirkov and Lobb are roughly the same size but it would be Mirkov's lack of experience and footy smarts that would let him down; Darcy and Lobb would be able to out position him without too much trouble. However, if he gives a contest it would free up Silvagni and Cripps to focus on their primary roles.
It's definitely worth a try.
