We had some many ins in VFL it might be hard to read that result, frequent multiple changes break down systems faster than an active opposition!

I'm more than willing to cut Willo some slack on conceding 5 gls, especially when you consider the circumstances of most of those goals. As the game wore on he regained composure (after a disastrous 1st qtr).
But early on, I agree, he had a shocker but I wonder if that just wasn't over exuberance and want to prove his worth to get back into the seniors... seems to me he's champing at the bit to regain his place. And didn't we all have Willo in our best back-line scenario at season's start?
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

We just need Willo's type in the 1s, that is how I see it anyway!
I think Phillips will be an in for Kreuzer, he isn't a great tap ruckmen but he can nullify Goldstein who is a great tap ruckmen. Goldstein isn't what he use to be around the ground, so that is less of an issue this week.

Quality running defenders - something we need to address next draft period.
And he won't take a backward step if Ziebell, Cunnington start getting dirty....
Finals, then 4 in a row!

The worry is someone like Marchbank will though, I realise he's an injury plagued career so far, but he's very disappointing.
Am I being unfair to Marchbank, relative to say Weitering or Jones?

His career has been stop start, so it's hard to say. I think ability wise he is fine, but injuries are a bigger concern IMO. He just can't get continuity.

Marchbank 39 games, Weitering 62 (fair to say that the 40s weren't Jacob's most productive!) Continuity and games for Marchbank. He has talent.

Apparently McGovern has a hamstring and will miss at least this week, possibly more. That will mean 4 forced changes (at least) for this week

Marchbank has been disappointing IMO....injured a lot and his delivery by foot is very poor.
He has some talent and can mark the footy but I'd be looking at a free agent like Tomlinson from GWS as an upgrade to Marchbank....bigger, quicker and a great kick either foot.
