Probably a team for the expected conditions

Cam O’Shea baffles me :o

[townsendcalling]

Lamb's mission will be to be his agitating best maybe against Goddard as a defensive forward.

[Lods]

We might (will) see Jones and/or McKay doing a bit of ruck work.

[laj]

I'd say we plan in Jones as relief ruck hence maybe why we still have O'Shea to go back. But why O'Shea ahead of Weitering.

Or even Rowe but he's more likely to be no.1 defender though given the line-up.

[madbluboy]

One week 3 rucks, the next week 1.

MC have no idea about what they're trying to achieve.

A little bit of management I suspect.
The conditions won't suit him.
The last thing we want is to rush him back and have him struggle.
Let him have another game at the lower level to build his confidence a bit more... then bring him back.

Agree. One Swallow (Frankston) does not make a summer.
