    We have a very different team in to when we played them last year (10 different players) so whilst in essence that result was shit and a turning point in 2023, given the huge turnover in personnel it's rather irrelevant.
    Sinclair hasn't fired a shot this season yet, off the back of limited preparation in pre-season. The other 2 are probably the quinella in their B&F to date and are incredibly dangerous. Hill's running power is awesome and Wanganeen-Milera is a fantastic user of the ball off half-back. I think Essendon did a job on both so I hope we've gone to school to see what they did to curtail their biggest weapons.

      Hopefully Lobb's ankle is ok so he can help with rucking.
      Absolutely - and he's the form big man in the game at the moment. It's not the worst week for Marra out, Lobb in in that regard. We're going to need Rory to graft hard in the ruck.

        Can you please point out in which previous games between the 2 teams this has happened?

        It was pretty much a nil all draw last year when both rucks played well with their stats almost identical.

        In 2022 Marshall probably had the better of English, but we smacked them around the ball winning the clearances 41-21 and we won pretty easily.

        We then go back to 2020 for other clashes... the game early in the season Marshall slightly shaded Tim, but in the final it was Ryder who got on top when Tim pretty much had to ruck solo.

        Maybe your memory is different to mine.

          Watch the big bloke with the tatts tear us apart , just the kind of player who does it to us.
          He is a good hard honest player Membrey.

            He's kicked 13 goals in his previous 9 appearances against us and only kicked over 3 once... in racing terms I prefer others.

            And BTW he's the same size as Ed who I've never heard described as 'big'.

              That's a bit disingenuous though, he'd be considerably heavier than Richards and plays a much more "big forward" role.

              I think Membrey is a good player, but agree not sure he's the one to tear us apart.

                Jack Steele is fully back and is going to wreck us on the inside. I really don’t like this game tonight for us.

                  Being a Thursday night I can see a positive if this gets out of hand early and hitting the hay at half time.

                    That’s my point an average player will come out of nowhere to beat us.
                    They have lost King he will be the one.
                    We have a record of letting average players have great games . Eg Billings, Stringer last week, Brown at Melbourne.

                      If Jake's game last week is can be classified as great, then **** me sideways.

                      He kicked 2 goals, had 11 kicks and was the 29th highest rated player on the ground.

                      You've lost the plot.

                        I wouldn't describe it as a 'great' game either, but he was one of the more influential players.

                        On player ratings he was ranked 6th, not 29th.

                              Stating the bleeding obvious but the season's on the line tonight. If we don't square the ledger odds are that we go 2-5 with Fremantle next week, a deep hole. Got to come out snarling, play for each other, play for the jumper.

                                Garcia & Harmes, come on down.

                                I'm worried they will outrun us. It's just about my only worry, apart from Marshall killing Timmy
