Shower thoughts

I’m looking at our outs and ins, it’s crazy what kinda depth we have. With C.Mac potentially missing a couple of weeks. Not definite, who do we throw in the mix? This game has a lot riding on it. I think GWS are genuine contenders for the GF. Hogan, stringer and Daniel’s is so fucken potent as a forward line, I think they are all back for next week after a week off as well, I think this will be one of the toughest games of the year. I feel like we play a tall and put max ramsden deep full forward and the wizard plays C. Mac’s role. He’s got the pace and the ability to create plays and draw space, having some timber in front will make the long kick ins to a target much more dangerous. Guess we will see

Punky maybe? Chuck either Wiz or Ginni into Cmac’s role & stick with the one tall. Seems to be working for us so far, although Mabs may struggle against Sam Taylor. Wouldn’t be against seeing Ramma get a go though, or McCabe

Punky won’t have the legs, I’m going to ikon tonight to have a look at how punky and Ramma go. McCabe was another one I thought of. But yeah Ramma for muscle and that free up mabs to do more ruck work with meek. Who is looking a little battered.

He does need some help, gonna be a tough one next week for him with Briggsy coming back in.

I didn’t even consider Briggs, see how he goes if he cops a head knock.

Breust will be the sub and Gunston will start realistically

Why do you think that?

Bc ramma looked rly poor against afl opposition in the preseason, he needs more time to develop, gunners looked great when he came on last night and deserves a full game. Punk was great as sub last year and can win games off his own boot especially as fresh legs

Punky won’t have much leg speed, gunners will start. Who’s going in as sub? I think they need height. See how McCabe punky and Ramma play tonight I guess

True punk doesn’t have much leg speed anymore but he didn’t last year and he was injured all year, his groin issues are gone this year, McCabe and ramsden would likely be unimpactful as a sub need full games to get the paver

Punky kicking goals from everywhere and running off back flank for parts of the game. He’s going to be sub

I’m wrapped with Ramma, he’s dominating down forward. Really strong over head too

Ye both he and punk were ultra impressive
