I guess Wallis
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Yep. A professional tagger a few years back, probably our better option.

Would be my guess - I'm also guessing Wallis might play more forward this week.

I reckon the 2 players that need to be watched closely are Zorko and Rich. I like Wallis predominantly HFF on Rich, with Dunkley changing, while we'll probably rotate on Zorko, a bit HC, a bit Dunkley, a bit Dahlhaus?

What's the weather looking like in Melbourne. I'm in the Central West of NSW, 2 days ago it was mid-20s, it's currently snowing in my backyard!

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 8, 2018 vs Brisbane Lions
It has been mentioned somewhere here that Trengove has a history of completely beating up on Brisbane. It adds even more weight and likelihood to the “late in” theory/camp.
My guess is that it will be for Bont (suspecting he won’t be 100%) but my hope is that he is ready to go and it is for Honeychurch/Webb (although it would be pretty horrible to name Webb if there was no intention to play him).

No ruckman.... No worries?

There has been some talk that Suckling didn't get through full training yesterday, he is another potential out?

Also an easy one to overlook is that Honey is in and Jong is out. Don't agree with that. Not sure what Honey offers that we don't get form Jong.

If HC isn't in the team to tag Zorko then I don't know what role he plays. His ability to distribute the ball effectively is well below average for a player of his size so the only option I see is for him is to negate a key member of the opposing team.

If you take Bevo at his word they wouldn't have picked the Bont if they were unsure, unlike last week:
“But he got through training last week and then was sore afterwards and we gave him until early morning Friday to let us know. We won't go that far, we just won't pick him if he can't train Thursday.”
Yes he could still be a late out if he hasn't pulled up well from training yesterday, but I would expect him to play.

Beams is better than both, but Zorko is more taggable.

He took Harbrow last week so perhaps negate Rich's rebound as a defensive forward?
Then Wallis plays a run with role on Zorko and Macrae goes head to head with Beams. Leaves McLean as the 'free' midfielder and he's in career best form.
They're tall in the front half so we will really want Crozier, Williams and Richards to run off at every opportunity and tall in the back half so the chaos ball might get a work out this round.
