Think most would agree our 1st 22 looks the goods on paper, but on form we are playing like a bottom 4 side.

I'd like Goodwin to change things up a bit, firstly I'd bring Harmes into the forward line maybe even out of the goal square ( remember him kicking 3 in a Quater against the saints a couple years back) he could rotate through the middle with Trac or Clarry when they need a spell. I'd then use Jones or Lockhart in defense.

Like to know what everyone thinks? I feel Harmes was just starting to really flourish as a mid who could kick goals and we moved him back??

The other really puzzling thing is why we are not playing the Weed as a leading full forward I see him turning into a Lloyd type if we can get the best out of him. I'd play him every week ask him to lead out at the ball instead of kicking it on his head in 3 v1s

it seems to me that tomlinson is set to be our #2 ruck, especially with these shorter quarters and gawn's excellent fitness

i am very, very interested to see how the forward line works going forward with that one tall and a host of mid-sizers and small

pickett and bennell is potentially VERY exciting

not considered - kk, nietschke

Preuss?     Does anyone actually rate him, especially as our starting ruckman after Gawn leaves?

Luke Jackson is our ruckman in waiting, obviously.

For a second there I thought "Next 22" was our future ie "next" best 22 ?

Depth will be crucial. I do expect Jones to play in the next few weeks as a rotation through our midfield.  Maybe for the trip to Tassie.
