stoked broady is back.
he is the anti-chol
we know he will compete his guts out.
hes fast, he's tough, hes good overhead and has a big motor and most importantly
appears to, and actually does, give everything hes got.
I reckon this is our best 22.
a premiership 22.
Broady to back up ruck off the bench, and offer a defensive insurance policy.
$hai to go forward

Had very interrupted training with hamstring injury mid-July then came back for last rd v Adelaide. He took some marks but hurt his knee early in game. Came back on after half time but he hasn't quite got there. Needs continuity of training to keep a high level of fitness. Not over for him yet.
But clunked some impressive marks converted into goals against Dogs. On 2nd thought, I'd be quite confident in leaving him to Astbury, trusting his experience and weight/size to manage King fine, leaving Balta to be used ruck relief, forward too. Poses another threat wherever he goes.
I know, I know, self praise is no praise at all, but i so rarely get the changes anywhere near right...
My concern too.
Have to try and keep it close & contested game. Tackle, tackle, tackle.
Balta named down back so its likely that Broad will be the backup ruck. Where he goes when he doesn't ruck will be interesting. Defensive forward to help with generating seperation between Jack, Tom and their direct opponents? Wing? Or could we be looking at a player that is used as a tagger, would be a massive swing from usual Dimma policy, but Hill can be so damaging, maybe thats the plan?
we dont need to match their speed, we need to negate its effect
Guess you'll now find out tomorrow. To me it's clear and what others have been suggesting for a while, Balta backing up in the ruck. Let's see if that's what happens.
Yeah and we need to do that with pressure and congestion. Last weeks game against the Dogs was hardly contested and didn't resemble a finals type intensity. They want to get it out of congestion, and move it quickly. I think it will still be a quick game, but 2 very different styles, we like it congested but then we burst with speed using handball (easier to handball in congestion than kick), they will try to get the ball out by foot and control the ball using kick mark (but they play on quickly unlike other kick mark teams like the Eagles and the Cats).
No chance. When was the last time Hardwick overhauled arguably the strongest part of the team?
We've been going in 1 ruck for weeks. Chol may as well not have been there. We had to do something different. Nanks cannot play 91% game time.
Surely has to be one of Balta or Broad? We've brought in an extra tall backman so you'd think one of them will be relief rucking.
