If it was TDK vs Darcy and Jackson or Draper/Goldstein, Cox/Cameron etc then you would think about Pittonet but vs Geelong Id be sticking with TDK only after last games efforts...
Stanley and Conway are way down in the ruck rankings but the Geelong ruck that concerns me most is Blicavs. He'll probably be running with Cripps but his athleticism when he goes into the ruck will trouble our second stringers or De Koning in the unlikely event that Pittonet is back. Blicavs might cause a minor headache or two but I don't think our MC will be losing sleep over him.
Just back to the down the line discussion; how often do Weitering, Kemp, McGovern and their mates intercept opposition kicks? I reckon we'd be well ahead of most teams when it comes to intercepting kicks down the line.
Despite Hoyne's earnestness, it's not a huge problem.
