Their midfield has been playing well and the fact we may have a recognised ruck could cause us some problems Friday night as it may be wet. Forecasts change every day. They are a tackling team under Barker so it will be interesting if they elevate and being in Thomas and an unfit/match hardened Hampson.
The loss of Griff would mean that Deleido parks himself forward all night as the roaming option and Jack from the square ?
Hampson comes in and shares the ruck duties, and Vickery around the ground which he is better?
If we want another tall Mcbean to replace Griff and ruck in the F50?
Thomas maybe an in for Lambert? May need his grunt. Has to instructed to hand ball to a player running past for the give. No kicking?
Newman to play a nullifying role on Garlwtt. He may hurt him the other way if Gartlett wants to chase kicks and Newman may snag a few?
So on thinking about it the past few days my thoughts have slightly changed.
In- Hampson, Mcbean, Thomas
Out- Griff(inj) , Maric (suspended) and unfortunately Lambert.
Big chance in this 2-3 block for Mcbean.

Yes, no disrespect to Casboult, but he's no Franklin or Cloke and Rance has beaten both them, he also held Cameron to 2 last week, and he's no slouch. The forecast is for a cloudy night, but bot much chance of rain, so they may have to go with two talls to replace Ivan and Griff, and at this stage that's looking like McBean and Hampson. Reports on the site that must not be named even say that Hampson was kept out of the VFL match so that he could provide big man coverage this week.lukeanddad said:At the risk of sounding cocky, I thought Carlton looked horrible last weekend. Yarran jogged between contests in the same vein as Tambling used to and their most effective forward appeared to be Armfield. If Rance can handle Cloke, he should be ok with Casboult. In fact, he should have a ball.

In: McBean, Astbury & McDonough
Vickery to ruck with relief from McBean. Astbury to be swingman. Takes Casboult if he gets on top of Chaplin
McDonough for Newman because he is better
Yes, a definite plus, but they have a tendency to get some no name have a day out against us.Tiger Pops said:One Plus, no more Judd to deal with. Always gets a stack of possessions against Richmond!
BrisTiger24 said:More I think about it more I think Hampson has to play. Vickery is unlikely to run out a full game in the ruck and McBean has hardly played that role let alone be a focal contested option up forward. Problem is I just don't trust Hampson at AFL level, let alone the fact that he hasn't played the level for 12 months, hasn't played at any level in 3 or 4 weeks and is coming back from a dodgy knee.
