But given Hunter has been playing more as a forward I’m not sure it’s like for like as far as a positional change.
Will be interesting to see how we use Lipinski & Baz tonight.

Surely Bailey Smith plays in the center square rotations?
Lipinski and Roarke Smith on the wings.
More of an In Bruges guy?

I worry about us using Lip on the outside. Hope it's inside or forward (where I don't like his lack of speed/defensive pressure but at least he can find it and be damaging). I would have preferred we go Wally or Butler as outside option.

When did you change your mind on Butler? Not once did you mention him in this thread.
Good point on the bye, especially considering the VFL started later than the AFL season.

Let’s see how Cody has improved his game for AFL level - big test and again, defensive work rate will be on display.
And to think Amon was up for trade a couple of years back and Port couldn't give him away.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 9 vs Port Adelaide
Interesting that they haven't brought Wallis in again when we are only playing two talls forward, I would have preferred him to Cody this week just in regards to experience as we have seen its a challenge for young players to come in first up against a flag contender.

If it was me I would name them in alphabetical order starting from the backline.
I would tell the players that's how we do it - I would tell all of the staff that's how we do it. It would be a reminder every week that loose lips sink ships and we live that approach from the top down - from the simplest thing to the most complicated...
OR.
Name them in their exact starting positions and say we are 'Anywhere, Anytime...'.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

I think Jonas was BOG for the Power last week and completely obliterated Walker...no doubt he should have won the medal. We need our tall forwards to stand up this week - their ability to compete and hold the ball inside 50 is the key.
