We've had 2 shockers in a row. Does the MC hope the current team pull their fingers out or make a statement and reward some consistent VFL form?
Motlop is the one definite out but our small forwards have been off. Honey surely can't make the 23 again this week even with Motlop going out? He's had two very ordinary games. I'd be inclined to go with Durdin, Fisher and Fogarty. Hewett got a few possessions last week but wasn't really anywhere near his best...maybe this is the week where Dow gets a crack on the bigger Optus oval against a notably weakened Eagles midfield.
Does TDK come back in and play a bit forward to test the Eagles defence? Eagles only been playing one ruckman with support from Waterman so we can probably back JSOS to ruck okay against him.
It's the midfield that needs to get cracking. We dominated possessions last week but their impact was negligible and none of them have been hitting the scoreboard. When they're not kicking goals and neither are the small forwards, it's little wonder it's left to Charlie and Harry....and when Harry has a stinker in front of goals like last week, we can't expect Charlie to kick a bag every week and get us over the line.
Maybe this IS the week to mix it up a bit?
