I would love to see Stringer play the Redpath role tonight. Start deep and lead hard, creating space and movement. If Jake can get a couple of chest marks on the lead it may help with his growing tendency to try the freakish with every second forward entry.

I don't he's wasted there and that role really is a one trick role suited to someone like Dickson. I wish Tom could play big minutes forward releasing Jake further up the ground. He is at his most damaging around the 50 metre arc.

Anyway, I just hope he isn't forced to play the role we got Tom Boyd to do.

I would be absolutely in shock if Beveridge played Tom as a key forward for long enough for long enough for Tom to work into the game as a forward. We'd rather just turn the prized recruit forward - into a role player draught horse.

I would be too, looks like he's set for the Leigh Brown role

Who would you put in as second ruck? I don't think Bevo has any other choice.

I don't mind him pinch hitting in the ruck when required - but he even taking out last week's unusual circumstances - Boyd was previously spend a heap of time in the ruck - probably 50% of the time that he was on the ground, he's been rucking.

I don't think you can really settle into a game effectively if you keep chopping and changing like they do with Boyd.

Although its not ideal to pick Minson - desperate times, desperate measures - and as I said earlier, I'd have picked Minson & Roughead - and given Tom an opportunity to show us if he can be a forward. To date, the only thing I can gather - is that the coach sees him as a part timer in both.

One thing for certain is - we will spend a fair bit of tonight looking like we have no target to kick to....and Enright, Taylor and Lonergan will do as they do every single time we play them - and mark the high ball - while Tom lumbers around in the ruck.

Roughead (Hawthorn variety) rolls up and back and it really doesn't seem to impact him too much. Lobbe up at GWS has been doing the same and going a bit better than OK. Someone HAS to provide ruck support...if it isn't the 200cm bloke in the goal square who spent a heap of his juniors playing ruck then who's? We can't play two ruckman...means being down a mid rotation and that is just a bad plan.
