Yet Goodwin has said only Salem was a potential injury, hamstring. You'd think he would have remembered mentioning Kolt, who he subbed off very early.....
I mean he may be injured, however looked like a good old fashioned dragging to me.
Why Goodwin would even play Oliver as a defensive mid, when clearly we have Viney and Sparrow to play that role. We have clearly struggled in the midfield as well this year. Also, Oliver is one of the best mids of this generation and considering we have had to play Petracca forward (and now injured), it’s Oliver who should be taking games by the scruff of the neck. Just odd coaching imo. Actually I call bs.
Kangas look like theyll be OK:
LDU, Larkey, Wardlaw, Sheezel, Zurhaar, Simpkin, Xerri, Archer, McKercher, Curtis, Duursma is a very good base to build from. Starting to show some heart as well.

I'm literally confused on how players should tackle these days, considering this one and a few last night called "dangerous tackle" and then the Dangerfield one (think he tried everything possible) who got a week. It's these inconsistencies that make it hard to watch. I seem to remember Cornes getting a fine for staging once and also one of their buddies Nick Riewoldt milking a free in front of goal (was meant to be given to another player). They're all hypocrites.
Yes the umpiring was atrocious, for both sides too. But that is a league wide problem currently. The introduction of the 4th umpire was meant to makes things easier but I actually think it's got much worse. I used to watch and analyse every game religiously not so long ago, but I find most games unbearable to watch from an umpiring perspective these days.
We will turn it into a slog and hope we are close enough to snatch a win. Expecting a real dour contest. A good gauge for both clubs, not that we don't already know where we sit in the comp.
