Towers isn't going anywhere.
Towers isn't going anywhere.
Won't happen but I'd still like to see us play with only Naismith as ruck with backup from Towers, Reg, or even Melican.
Therefore,
In: Jones
Out: Sinclair
Dont look at what Melican is doing himself although i reckon he is doing more than enough
Look at what he is allowing Grundy to do
This is why we need Alir in when fit cos he can release Rampe
My guess is Jones and McVeigh in, Towers and one of Florent \ Hayward out. Hayward only if he needs a rest though.
Jones is an automatic in. After that there's a logjam of players jostling to come in over the next 2-3 weeks: McVeigh, Aliir, Dawson, Robinson, Cunningham. I'm just not sure who makes way. The obvious candidates are Towers and Florent. After that ...
Whilst I also think towers should be omitted his not that bad in the ruck. He has pinch hit there in the ressies and he actually has quite a decent vertical leap. Physically he is undersized yes but he's "expendable" as far as injury. Better than risking buddy and Reid in the ruck
We brought in melican for the tall essendon forward line. Therefore against Melbourne, he will make way for Jones.
Towers is our in and under tagger. Stats don't matter when you are pressuring and tackling. He'll only be replaced like for like... And that ain't McVeigh who is the exact opposite.
Newman could get Hayward a rest. Unlikely though.
Florentine 50/50 to stay.

Florent. Damn autocorrect.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
