If we bring our competitive game we can beat them, provided we pick another tall forward even if it's Casboult.
I can't believe I just said that but desperate times call for desperate measures.
It was one reason Levi was still needed, to be the big body to take the heat from the younger key forwards. Yesterday was a case in point, although he is out of form, so at least go with another key forward. No matter what form Levi is in he'll get alot of respect from the opposition, meaning he'll take a couple of defenders. His presence makes life way easier for Charlie. He'll still get a few shots for goal too, hopefully not 0.3 next time from his 4 kicks. I'd take 2.1. Opposition were never going to respect a ruckman at FF so they'd near all go to Charlie.

I'd prefer McKay but he seems to be on the outer for some reason.
We've seen the best of Casboult and it's nothing flash, there's nothing to lose by running with McKay or Kerr, or both, for the rest of the season so we get a better idea of where we're going in 2019.
I'd even give DeKoning (?) a few games and see what he's got.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Probably best going with McKay/Kerr now as they need games for our future, but that's one reason Levi's around, his big body helps the younger key forwards. He'll always get the respect of the opposition, which means less defenders for the younger forwards as they further develop.
I was with De Koning having a crack this week against Brisbane as I thought, at least at the time, it was a good game for him to debut in. He has a hamstring injury though.

Both the Lions rucks are over 100kg, one of them is listed at 107kg which is probably conservative at best! De Koning is a relative lightweight.

Agree...DeKoning had an extremely bad lacerated kidney, he probably doesnt a knee in the back from a 107kg unit until he gets some kegs on the frame and know how....

Since his proper return from that r1 injury, I've been pleased with Kennedy. Hard at it, and managed effective disposals under duress. The bonus might be his kicking for goal. I like his apparent persistence when the heat is on. Too many others shy from that. I just hope he's over his injury concerns and gets a consistent run. He's exactly the type we need several more of running through the middle.

Agree with this, Kennedy will work out fine, especially if we can get a couple of mature bodies around him as he continues to develop
