That still gives us a midfield with Cripps, Kennedy, Cerra and Walsh.....and Docherty can play midfield at times to cover Hewett? Down back I can see Cincotta or Cowan coming in for Newman and Boyd staying back to play on one of their smaller forwards. Binns probably takes Holland's spot and Fisher replaces Durdin.
Based on his game in the VFL last week, Silvagni comes back in anyway but is it to play back up ruck....or do they play Young or even look at Mirkov this week?
Tend to agree, Wave Rider, re replacements for injured players.
Going by Vossy's impressive media stuff today, it would seem that JSOS will assume 2nd ruck duties.

Not a huge fan of Jack rucking vs real deal ruckman like Gawn and Grundy, last time vs Collingwood he couldnt handle Cameron and they took advantage. Surely we are not dumb enough to make the same mistakes again?

Agreed, with Pitto out it's time for Mirkov to come in and for him and TDK to get on their bikes and run the ageing Gawn and Grundy all over the park!
We know the Dees have already allowed Gawn to float forward to manage his ongoing issues, between he and Grundy they are probably 70% season players now, but still very good ones!
But I suspect Young will be straight back in, might depend on the weather.

I dont mind giving Mirkov a run and having that extra big frame for Gawn and Grundy to bang into, he doesnt have to dominate, just be a nuisance and prevent them from dominating. TDK isnt a bang and crash big bodied type like Pitto and will need more relief than usual vs two big specialist rucks and we should be giving him proper help and not trying to cheat with Jack who needs to concentrate on his forward craft and find some form.

And I'd have Dow in for Ed this week too....and have him in the starting 22. We just have to try something different IMO.

Yep, but he didn't confirm Dow. In other pre match press conferences, when asked about specific players, he has generally confirmed on the spot. Not this time.

No Dow Think we are a chance, they have picked an average team imho...losing McDonald and Hibberd helps us, playing their rucks at FF isnt smart imho and cant understand why they dropped Harmes who usually tags and does well against us.
50/50 game now ....
