One thing I am keen to see this week is our ruck combo take control.
A feature of Carlton's game is scores from stoppages. I can't remember the exact stat but apparently their share of the score from stoppages vs turnovers is the highest in the league. They are very good at feeding it out the back to a player with a quick handball or two, and launching from there. Our ruck combo needs to dominate the taps and give our guys first use.
The other element is Tom De Koening. He's going to be an outstanding player in a couple of years, but he's only 21 and still maturing. Hickey and Ladhams need to grind him down and whenever Silvangi comes in for relief, jump into the little fart and make him think twice.
'Delicious' is a fun word to say
Not sure Errol Flynn is the right comparison tbh

You lot must be powerful , that dill Jon ralph was on the radio talking about noise at games driving crowds away !
Are any of you former South Melbourne players !
I do, considering Lynch can elbow a player IN THE HEAD, enough to draw blood.....and this is 'reasonable in the circumstances'.
Seriously? What circumstances? Being Tom Lynch in a game of football?
Other players have got off after arguing that they were pushed into the contest (don't ask who....you know I'm right) and it is never 'reasonable' to raise the elbow.....except if you're Tom Lynch apparently.
It completely sucks.....but that shouldn't surprise anyone.
This is where the loss of Rowbottom could hurt us. He has been very good defensively when the opposition win the ball from the ruck contest and often gets to at least harass the player with the ball. And it's also an area that Kennedy has been poor in, mainly due to his lack of pace, and probably the main reason he doesn't attend many centre bounces these days. We have to work on how we set up for stoppages in Carlton's forward 50. This has been a source of goal leakage on our part.

After playing well in the first 5 rounds of 2021, Horse "manged" Campbell by listing him as the medical sub. Unfortunately, Hewett was concussed and Campbell had to play 55%ToG! After that game, he had to be "managed" for the rest of the season and only returned in the final two rounds. Don't Know the exact reason why he was managed last week but please don't select him this round unless he is 100%. We can use Clarke in the mid for Rowbottom. Or O'riordan can be selected in the back and let Florent and McInerney to spend lots more time in the mid.
