We play 8 mids - 2 wings, 2 mid fwds, 4 core mids.

2019
Wings - caddy ellis
mid fwds - dusty lambert
core mids - cotch graham prestia edwards

The shift from last year is

marion and kmac replace ellis and caddy on the wings

bolton moves from fwd to mid -replaced by aarts

2020
Wings - pickett, kmac
mid fwds - dusty lambert
core mids - cotchin, graham, bolton, ?(tried stack/ross/dow).

Edwards will take the remaining spot.

If Prestia gets fit then a structure reshuffle is required.

Perhaps lambert gets a full time fwd role replacing one of rioli george aarts

and edwards moves to the mid fwd role

and prestia to the core mid.

That's the ideal situation if prestia is fit

I reckon it's hard to get players up and going so late in the season.
Thank god we invested in that 3D printer.
Once ahead of the game.

I'd absolutely be taking the risk with Prestia. Him and Shedda returning makes our midfield look much more potent.

Did playing names that were NQR in 2018 prelim hurt us? Dunno. Shedda for sure and I'm pro Dion but no games for 10+ weeks into finals is a worry.

Can you believe our reigning best and fairest player will be imminently available?
The football world may have had a momentary loss of memory in appreciating what this guy brings to our team. Big time player.
Forget the kebabs, we’ve got the meatball sub.

July 5 he did his injury. Will hopefully return first week of finals In early October, that was a 12 week injury. Like this lockdown that feels like forever ago.

It feels like he has been out longer.
Its the compressed season that makes it seem so long.
In a REAL season he may have missed 6-8 games.

Agree. Shed will get back but Dion and DTLD, coming back from their respective injuries, are a major risk in finals. I remember the Norf final in 2015 when we brought in Griffens and Conca underdone. From memory both had a shocker.
We are a very very different side now. But,... Yep.

Yep Martin should not have played. I'm in the don't play underdone players in finals camp. But it is what it is. We will trust the club to make the calls. Live by the sword die by the sword or take the chocolates. Hopefully no more injuries 2morrow!

I remember watching Dusty in the warm up that night being unable to get into second gear and saying to my mate that he did not look good at all :(

Dimma mastered audacity in the last week of September last year.

M.pickett was the most rewarded audacious move in footy history, and thats not hyperbole, its a fact.

So Dimma became a virtuoso.

Playing Dion in a q or a semi or a prelim is sinchy-bub stuff for such a virtuoso.

If dion plays, and it doesnt matter when, he will contribute and make us better. How much is the only question.

Dion is THE most underated mid in the game.
