Reading between the lines, McGrath of the Druggies considers beating the Tigers is just a another step towards the finals.
Must admit they are quick but hope we can give them a wake up call.
Huge head.
It's massive

Does anyone else think Ben Miller could be a sneaky chance to debut?
Yes for a couple of reasons - I thought we looked undersized against high balls last week without DTLD in the team plus this week, there's no Nank to drop back (Chol is useless in defensive, contested marking). Playing Miller would help that plus in the next game, we'll need to play an extra tall defender coming up against Darling, Kennedy and Allen. Therefore may as well get Miller in to have a look.

Was he brought in as an emergency last week once Astbury was ruled out? Can't remember if he was or not.....

So If Cotch and Nank out........

Sheds is a lock.

If you look at players

Rioli D / Rioli M / Ross / Dow / Miller / Mansell / Ryan/ / Martyn / Pickett / Stack all in the mix somehow but no VFL games on....

Lambert / Astbury / Lynch all unavailable.

Who else gets a rest ? I'd hate RCD / Hugo to be put to the side.

Big decisions this week. Doubt Chol goes out, George keeps obviously doing what he needs to get a game and I think a player like Caddy would look at this game as his one big shot.

I have no idea and will watch eagerly for the teams.

Or we pick up a player at number 10 tonight and throw them in the deep end :)

Miller would make sense as it gives us flexibility to send Balta into the ruck to help Mabs.

Edwards and Pickett are certain ins.

Have you seen Miller in defensive, contested marking?

Would be stunned if Miller played and even more stunned if he is on our list next year

Miller has a leap on him, is 198cm and has played ruck in the past. Plays KPD/KPF/Ruck, if he is named would pinch hit before Balta IMO
