Lycett was subbed out with some sort of knee injury on the weekend. It certainly wouldn't hurt our cause if he was to miss.

Just had on 360 that Lycett is fine

If that's the case and the AFL were serious about any sort of integrity, they would issue a 'please explain' as to why he was subbed at three quarter time.

I didn't see the game, but apparently he was off with the knee, went back on, and then came out at 3/4 time as a precaution.

Do they roll the dice on him with a top 4 spot stitched up and a handy Ladhams as the backup?

Hinkley gave the impression he’ll play. They showed the clip of his injury and it’s legit that he came off. Hyperextend it. I don’t see any issue’s here.

He did give that impression but he also threw in hopefully he will be ok.

If we are good enough, we should beat anyone.

Edit: Port Website saying both Lycett and Mckenzie should be ready to go

In Stef, Gardner

Channelling Bevo with a hint of what I want...

In- Stef, Gardner, Marra
Out- Young, Cordy, Hannan

I really don't see how we fit Wood in with 3 tall defenders, two of which are Zaine and Gardy. We also have to fit Doc, Caleb, Dale and Truck down back.

Fitting them in won't be the issue... how we get half decent ball use from defence is another matter altogether.

Yeah well we have Doc, Dale and Truck down back pretty much all the time and Caleb normally spends time there too. We would probably have to find more time for Daniel further up the ground.

If the goal is to slow our ball movement down as much as possible, playing those 3 together is the way to do it.

Thoughts on substituting Marra for Schache or Young? I am thinking we might go that way to ensure English is always forward or at least a high percentage with the back up work to be completed by a mixture of both Young/Schache and English.
Say Martin 60%, Schache/Young 20%, English 20% which would mitigate some of the concerns with Martin and ensure we have support for Naughton (2-3 talls at all times).

My view of Marra is we lose too much flexibility given our current deficiencies. He can’t go into the ruck to keep English forward but he also doesn’t play tall yet or give us a ground level option. His pressure has been awful and if he can’t hold down a genuine key position yet then I’m concerned it leaves us exposed in several areas. Just think his selection limits our options.

Yeah only thing he offers us is that he is already a bit of a danger. But I am swayed with what you said. Zaine forward is another option.

Can naughton call on a replacement kicker anytime he shoots at goal?

Give me strength!

Hahaha. I am thinking of the lesser or two evils. Gardner/Zaine/Wood in the D2-4 slots if you will....but yeah. Can we please just drop at least one of Zaine or Wood?

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 23 Vs Port Adelaide 2021

Stoppage wise what do we do to change up the mix to get a better defensive balance?

I'd be ok with adding more Dunkley and Treloar and less Bontempelli. I think Marcus forward is such a weapon and I like the look of Libba, Macrae, Dunkley Martin.

Not saying don't have Marcus at stoppages but change the mix a bit. Thoughts? We can talk all want about the defence and forward line but it's clear to me where our major problem lies at the moment.
