Give Jacko an extra week to fully recover from his finger injury and he will be cherry right for Dogs, Lions and Pies then gets another rest. Let the Weid and BB have another game together and Chandler to stay also and hopefully show us what's he got against Crows. Then we have massive decisions for Dogs game. Yep. I don't doubt Burgo, but agree we're in a good position and no need to rush people back especially when there's a little buffer in the ladder and plenty of games to go.

Weideman looked more likely to take a grab than Brown last week and also offers more when it hits the deck. Whilst it shouldn't dictate selection - I'm concerned that dropping Weideman after one game plays into the hands of other clubs that will be trying to convince him to switch clubs at year-end. You must have watched a different game to me RG. I thought both were pretty ordinary in this regard with BB just a smidgen ahead. Barely though. 1

dino rover 714 Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 I must say I was tempted to play 3 talls. That is all of BB, Jacko and sw. But I got to thinking we want marks inside 50 and in Tmac and Fritz we do fine with Jackson and BB essentially (for now) supplements. The other reason apart from offence we win, is that our forwards are our first line of defence trapping the ball where we can score. For those reasons - not needing additional marking power and needing to sustain our defensive forward energies we can’t have 3 talls. I prefer BB to SW - his hands are better- both are light on for defensive acts. therefore jacko for weid Chandler to stay given a chance to show his Defensive forward metal 1
DubDee 26,675 Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Jackson in for Ben Brown I think Jackson, Weed and T Mac could be an excellent mix up forward. we cannot play all 4 imo

Yea Tmac has been awesome up forward. Why wouldnt he be awesome on the wing and allowing Gus to do what he does better. And so it allows for bb and sw to play. Just because its different doesnt mean its a bad idea. Surely if allows both sw and bb a rlle it has some merit.

I dont think of Tmac as our best forward. I see him as a great utility player. How do we know bbb or sw wont be as good? And having him on the wing can allow all three quality players to be present. Agreed its been working the way it is but it may just work better.

The wing (Angus wing ) is not broke so don't try and fix it.
DeeZee 7,496 Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Choofta is more mobile than Brenny and Jacko is a best 22 player. It’s difficult but I feel Sam offers more than Ben and we need to give him a couple of games to get a better look. Brenny Brown has had three games not and has been ok with doing anything special. With TMac in such good form he sort of plays that big forward role and there fire brings a better balance. bloody hard call though, especially when you entice a guy over from another club and pay him , most likely more than TMac and Choof put together Dogga in for Brenny Brown or Chandler
