It's been tried and has been ok but no way a "lock",yet down back over at least 2 seasons he's been part of a serious backline glue. Hibberd in would be an idea as well.

Dee*ceiving 1,738 Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 Pig's history on dusty and form last week is too good to ignore. If Petty is fit I can't see him being left out and it will be in his defensive role. My read is they prefer the Gawn/Grundy ruck/forward combo in finals with BBB and TMac as fall back options. Grundy will play another at Casey as planned, will come in to give Max a rest at some point and then we'll trial them together again just before September. Tomlinson is purely a backup for May, Lever and Petty. Based on that I'd guess Out; Brown, Tomlinson, Woey In; Petty, Hibberd, Smith Sub; Harmes

"Happy to be wrong" 😀 Expand I don't think anybody underestimates Jack Vineythese days - he has been immense in covering for Clarrie's absence. But I think there are still some to fail to recognise Angus' contributions particularly over this period. He has been pivotal. And regarding Max / Brundy - I wonder if, provided we lock in 4th place by beating the Tigers, would we consider "managing" Max in the North and Hawthorn games, leaving Brundy as the main ruck? I remain too be convinced that either should be regarded as a key forward - would love to be proven wrong by the way., 2

McQueen 17,867 Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 We’re getting the job done without Oliver, Fritsch, McDonald and Petty. Pressure for spots all over the ground have appeared due to these guys being injured. I’d love to be top 2 but it ain’t gonna happen. We’ve exposed Rivers and more of Jordon to the midfield. Woey is an instant valuable role player. Melky is a clutch king. Joel Smith can quite frankly play anywhere and impact play. We get back to full strength before finals, I think we feel relatively confident of our capabilities and to handle the pressure of finals footy. So I anticipate another tight game and a couple of goals win. 12

Dee*ceiving 1,738 Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 We are definitely building some great depth and flexibility in many ways accellerated by the Petty, Fritsch & Oliver injuries and to a lesser extent the limitations of Brown and McDonald. Melksham's opportunities in Fritsch's role has lead to good outcomes and a definite confidence boost. Viney has had a career best season. We've seen the value of Smith forward and as the sub. JVR has played ~15 games, mostly held his own and will be better placed to make an impact in September than he would be if he'd only played a handful. JJ, Sparrow & Rivers have been exposed to significant midfield minutes they otherwise wouldn't have with Oliver in the team and Tracc not needed forward. Plus we've got Hibberd to come back in, potentially Gus relocating to the half back line (his best position IMV), a top 10 ruckman in the twos & proven capable key position backups in McDonald and Tomlinson. Whilst clearly a plan off the back of last year, the 'squad' based approach was further enforced by injuy, and there is no doubt it has delivered significant benefits. 3 1
