Bang! Spot on. Was thinking earlier we're actually pretty solid at each end of the ground but it's in the middle where the concern is. What we don't know at this stage is how much improvement Greenwood and Adams will bring to the table. Adams won't be playing this week by the sounds of things.
Going to need a big effort from Pendles and Swanny again this week.

Tusk, tusk.......  
You have a jumbo task (tusk?) to stop Piesnchess referring to anything he damn well likes on Nick's
And good on him for doing that....

ben reid is still a few weeks from getting an afl berth. when he does he will strnegthen the backline and we'll be able to release one or two of the others further up the field.

Ben Reid needs to tick the following boxes before he gets a call up in my opinion:
Play three full VFL games
Play well in them
Be at the required level of fitness to play senior footy |

Seriously R&C,you should dismount the Jesse White steed mate.He's not going sanywhere. He commands a good defender and you leave him alone at your peril.Same with Degoey. He's a stayer. |

Interesting point. Assuming the opposition's best tall defender is on Cloke, who usually gets the second best tall defender White or Witts/Grundy? |

Witts' recall will improve White's game. Cloke will play mainly at CHF with White and Witts/Grundy playing closer to goal.
Adams return should strengthen our midfield considerably. I can't wait to see De Goey, Adams, Kennedy and Crisp alongside each other in and around packs. I predict a big improvement in our midfield performance this week. |

Our mids is a work in progress… but there is much promise….
Adams and Greenwood - both quality extractors will make a huge difference.
Crisp and Sidey were quiet which left too much for Pendles and Swan to do in the middle. These guys need to lift. I think we should run Broomy through there more as well because he is struggling up fwd and seems more comfortable in the middle.
We did get some good run from the backs though with Oxley playing as sweeper and Willo finding some confidence and Varcoe playing back more often.
De Goey is only a little bit off -- but he looks great and his endeavour is first rate.

After carefull reconsideration.
Out: Broomy (omitted) Grundy (rest)
In: Witts-Dwyer (sub)
Resting Grundy now will give him 3 weeks off, we have to manage his workload, it's a good time to do it IMO.
