What Changes for Round 12

So out Murphy, in Minson.

I guess this means we'll play at least 1 tall forward.

It probably balances the issue with height a bit however, perhaps the team is not as concerned about the slippery conditions as we first thought.

I suppose Darcy will be used as a big body to crumb off?

Although everyone is saying they're surprised at the decision to go tall in greasy conditions, I totally understand it.

Darcy is a target to kick to - being greasy, marks are unlikely to happen.

Who is likely to be with Darcy in the F50?
Johnson, Higgins, Lynch, Aker, Harbrow, and at times Cooney & Hahn.

The first 5 are excellent crumbers.... because it will be too greasy to mark the ball. Darcy is good at knocking the ball to advantage, being an experienced ruckman as well. To me it makes perfect sense.
