I would also move Caleb move forward. The amount of ball we get down there and he knows how to read the play and finish off.
Buku has no idea yet how to read the play or where to run as a forward. McNeill is not a forward and doesn't have the instinct yet they both play as forwards.

That is fine and could work, but drop him was the call.

Hope I'm wrong but I immediately thought Smith would get 2+ weeks, two goes, one leaving a red bruise ahem to the head. Banging bowling balls together is extremely dangerous.

Fair enough.

Fair enough, it was assault.
A pessimist could say this incident could be the moment of our demise. Three weeks before he plays again just when we need him most.
Hopefully Smith will come back firing his energy at the ball.

Smith's suspension may save McComb's spot.
Scache for Gardner.
We are going to need to do what we did last year, star after the break.

We are in all sorts if we have to leave McComb in the team. He has had his opportunities and is so far off it. He offers very little.

Apart from his bad miss, I actually thought he showed a lot more poise at this level the last couple of weeks and looks like he could be a solid depth player. He's on borrowed time as best 22, I suspect, once we get a few back over the coming weeks. Hunter, Hannan and maybe McLean will make it difficult for McComb, McNeil & Scott
to all keep their places in best 22.

Beloved Hunter I hope you are well.
Bruce back could solve several present prob's.

Out: McNeil, Duryea, McComb/Baz if suspended, Khamis
In: Marra, Cleary, Bedendo, Schache
Just play Marra beside Naughton for the rest of the year. We’re not winning shit this year so invest in 2023 and let them learn how to play together.
Time for Bedendo to get a crack. Been playing wing/forward, gives us more marking power around the ground. Just do it.
Everyone on here continues to crap on Sweet but Khamis churned out the same sort of possession numbers without any of the ruck dominance we would have gotten with a proper ruck taking on Blicavs. Yeah, we may have gotten some clearances while Khamis rucked but there are clearances and there are good clearances, and I still saw the likes of Naughton and Bont being forced to take ruck inside 50 while English was off. Just play Schache in the 2nd ruck role for the rest of the year and be done with it. He can’t ruck but that’s obviously not important to us given we’re playing Khamis and atleast he knows how to lead and create space, and will kick goals with limited opportunity.
I like your suggestions. Bruce, McClean and JJ coming back are considerations.
Bedendo I feel will make it soon.

Yes and their time will come.
Fyfe just spent his week in 2's.
A bye is a week.
What of our star Hunter?

I believe Stevo tweeted that he thinks he will be back after the bye.
