Up until last week Deano had been pretty good. Unfortunately he went missing in action last week. Because there is no surity that Joey will be back this week I would suggest resting Joey until next week and playing Dawson in Joey's role. This would give the young bloke a chance to strut his stuff in the big league. It would also give us a chance to set up a little differently.
Several players went missing last week, Deano wasn't the only one. if you look at the stats Tippett went missing again. Sinclair was by far the best ruckman for us with 17 disposals, 18 Hit Outs, 6 tackles and 8 inside 50's. Tippett on the other hand had 8 disposals, 16 HO, 4 T and 2 I50. I would look at bringing in Aliir as a mobile ruckman who can get taps as well as run off his opponent.
It's really interesting that Hayward, Papley & Rohan don't need to get huge numbers to really hurt the opposition. Paps & Will got 12 each and Gaz 9 but their goals tally was 8 between them. Fairly impressive.
I'd give Kizza a rest this week and play Rose just to see how he goes as he is getting plenty in the reserves. He has also started to play a good defensive game when he doesn't have the ball. That was James' problem, slack defensively.
