That won’t happen.
Agree on Gibcus. If we wanted to play another defender then it should have been Mansell.

With Miller on the interchange I image he will be support ruck rather than a fulltime defender. A sound idea having a mobile big man chopping out Nanks when required
Mansell or Dow to be a late replacement for Gibcus would be my guess.
I doubt we'll see Gibcus start on Gray, too.
But it's difficult to see where we hide the extra tall.
We will have mismatches all day with the side we've selected.
I can totally envision Nank trundling after Gray into open goals.
quick .. ? straight away .. n all that .. just made think, 'yeah...right..'
Nothing peculiar.
Its been obvious despite his lack of form that the MC have wanted to get Shedda to 300 ( maybe more merchandise sales ?).
Now they don’t have this millstone hanging he’ll be sunb at best for the rest of the year.
Not bagging Shedda more the MC
i thought nanks 3rd quarter turned the game for us.
miller could well be the versatile relief ruck weve been looking for.
How mch does a forecast of showers in morning and afternoon impact selections for a night game?
Just hope they can mark the slippery pill as they'll be chasing tail once it hits the ground!
It's more important to be able to run the game out, which we haven't on several occasions this year and last.
Too tall. Are we tanking?
In Search Of.
Riley Collier-Dawkins.
Lambs, Cads, Matty P and probably Riley depart.
In two minds about Shedsy.
Need to recruit an elite GWS mid, can back-end the salary.
Trent definitely plays on next year.

I agree. For a bloke who's 'hardly moving' 19 disposals, 32 hitouts, 6 clearances and 9 contested possessions is amazing. Imagine if he plays when he isn't hardly moving.
In light of Port's changes, there's no way we can have Gibcus back in. With Balta going back, we need another runner in the team. Out of the options, I hope it's Mansell in as a late replacement for Gibcus, with Edwards as sub.
Wow, you guys have got really spooked over the last few weeks!!
This isn't a strong Port team and their (clearly) best scoring forward is out.
They will want this to be tight and low scoring. Kick more than 80-85 and we should beat them. I mean who is going to score for them repeatedly?
If we can get Lynch, Jack and Cumbo in the game and kicking goals then we should win.
I actually think we are lining up fairly well against them. Their best differentiator was Finlayson in the ruck, his stats the last month or so have been excellent, but they are bumping him back forward (remember 2019) and playing Teakle who was in the SANFL at the start of the year, Nank should be able to deal with him.
Their backline is short so if we can isolate Lynch or Jack they will be licking their lips. IMO their best defender in Clurey isn't even playing, he was very good at the G earlier this year.

I'm impressed by your unwavering confidence in this team!
It wasn't a strong North Melbourne team either but looked what happened there. When the team continues to play half a game of football each week and every result is within 10 points, it's the little things that make the difference. The opposition is almost irrelevant as we manufacture a close result no matter who they are. Being spooked is justified, and I wish I had your confidence.
Dickson has been doing a fair bit of ruck duties, so he will be a reasonable replacement for Marshall.
Teakle to have a few pre-game tinkles at the thought of rucking against Nank.
Agree re their defence, break even in the midfield and we'll win.
