FWIW I’m not advocating dropping either of them, its more that we will probably look to play two talls and I can’t see anyone else to drop from the forward line.

Good points HD. Thought Lloyd was really good last night. On a night where we didn't mark the ball he had 6 (next best Cordy 4), and when we only kicked 5 goals, he kicked 2 of them and handballed one to McLean. We need Lloyd playing at that level week in week out - as he did for most of last year.

The JJ and Wood mistakes get highlighted because they are so gut wrenching and obviously cost goals. But the missed opportunities where we can score are equally costly. Richards hasn't been making those forward half possessions count enough. Where he held the footy too long and ended up getting smothered when Wally was on out the back was a bad blue that comes to mind.
I like Richards, but think he gets a lot more chances that others (than West for example)

Lloyds only good game for the season and both of his goals were the result of massive efforts by Wallis (if I remember correctly). Correct me if I’m wrong.

We can't drop Bruce we have no-one who can compete in the air.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

It's for his own good. Give him a week off to freshen up, find some touch in a scratch match and bring him back against Adelaide.
With the form he's in, Harris Andrews will chew him up and spit him out.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Probably, but other than Andrews do Brisbane really have intercept defenders the calibre of Port? We might get a lot more mileage out of kicking to contests against them than we did against Port, particularly if another tall is picked.
I also think Bruce should be dropped, but if we have no aerial threat then it's going to be a matter of trying to spot up targets, which would play into their hands.

Maybe we can just kick it along the ground?

If we drop Bruce, and I'm not opposed to it, Lew Young has to come in.

As they say dirty balls or ground balls is what we need at the moment.

My question is who is this Bruce guy we keep talking about and I'm equally confused as to who Lew Young is?

Are you Dwayne Russell/have you been the whole time? Would have been nicer in the commentary thread if so.
