    Can Cordy play in the Wood role, Gardner to his?

    Gardner needs a week at VFL level first for me.
    English for Hannan (harsh but similar role) and Lippi for Hunter seem logical changes.

    We've really missed English. The Tigers result may well have been different if he played, keeping Balta occupied all night and providing a marking option down the line when the blow torch was being applied to our defenders.

    It also means Bruce can stay inside 50 more, even though he's battled manfully as the back up ruckman.

    Very happy to see the big Chilli back.

    I don't see any quotes from anyone at the club about Hunter and English, perhaps more of an assumption from the 'journalist'?

    True. Although Cal Twomey does say the 'club' is optimistic.

    Yep, Cordy was in good form so it would be difficult to drop him
    We've been saying our back line are undermanned so if Gardner is ready we can test if the three of them can gel together.

    Perhaps Williams is really the replacement.

    Williams, Keath, Cordy, Crozier, Gardner, Daniel, Dale and Duryea looks a decent balance to cover Wood

    I didn't think Cordy, Crozier and Wood all fit in the same backline, too similar in terms of size. All three struggle to bite off difficult kicks and slow down our ball movement at times.

    Cordy could easily replace Wood, with Gardner taking over the key defender role. That leaves Crozier in limbo though.

    Is Cordy quick enough to play the role Wood has been playing?

    Not sure, but I think he's better suited to that role than he is as the second key defender.

    Matchup wise this week Keath to King is obvious. Cordy is ok size wise for Membrey. It depends on who replaces Marshall though. They could bring in McKernan who has size and would be a suitable match for Gardner. Alternatively Cordy plays on McKernan and Williams/Crozier have to play undersized on Membrey.

    I think Wood has been playing more on the smalls that the third talls though. Perhaps it's a moot point because we can shuffle players around to get Cordy in that role with Williams or someone taking Woods responsibilities.

    Do St.Kilda even have a third tall this week or is Cordy playing on Dan Butler?

    Actually I think this about covers it. Good summary
