Changes against Collingwood.

I heard a whisper that another backman may be tried as a forward. Dimma is throwing the magnets around after some success last week.

I'd leave the back 7 as is - Grimes, Balta, Gibcus, Broad, Vlastuin, Rioli and Baker is a bloody good backline.

No need for Tarrant to come back into the team.

Balta should stay where he is.

100%
Tarrant becomes an issue because this back 7 is well balanced.
Something got renovated last week against WCE and I'd like to see us maintain that approach.

i cant see how a quality hard running, gutsy defender who is equally adept at playing small or tall, while intercepting and providing link up play from defence could ever be redundant. 4 Nathan Broads alongside 1 Noah Balta and 1 Dan Rioli would be the perfect backline.

i wouldnt move him, but maybe the MC thinks those qualities will translate into a useful 3rd forward.

It worked (sort of) with Luke McGuane (briefly)

Yeh, Broad's been an improver since his first year and is ultra reliable now. To call him redundant is ridiculous. With the gang back together I'm much more confident of our 2022 prospects. Remove Broad and you remove a very important cog IMO.

I think they wanted to limit his calamitous damage. It couldn't be avoided even in the forward line.


Can never grow tired of that footage.

the 1st one was a mistake anyone could make- forgetting to kick over the defender in front. he probably should have known better than attempting for a left foot drop kick though.

Mansell,s hard running and tackling might just be what we need

Our forward pressure has slowly but surely dropped off from its 2017 heights, bill. Towner went out, Higlet replaced Butler, Lynch came in, Aarts came in, Daniel moved to defence. Bit by bit, then all of a sudden we couldn't get a hand on the bad guys in our F50.

Last week MoJu and Stacky gave us a reminder of what it's like to heat oppo defenders. Dimma loves a redundancy, we have a plethora of small back options, and eventually we want Syd The Mid, so rebreaking Mansell forward makes sense to me.
