So Longmire has said that Warner won't play. They also lose Lloyd to concussion protocols. We need to really dominate in the middle to win this game.


On Chad Warner

"Unfortunately we don't have the availability of Chad and it would have been great to have him as another midfielder. We've got a young midfield group and we need some more midfield depth. It's unlikely he will play this week unfortunately. He is such an important player for us but hopefully he is available next week and we take it from there."

On Jake Lloyd

"He's ok. Unfortunately we lose him this week. I think he was one of our best players last week. Up until he went off he had 10 possessions and he was going really well. But he's bounced back ok, he's fine and started to do exercise."

I'd certainly consider Williams on Gulden even if it was just part of an early game effort to see how it works.
Blakey night be harder to curb and while I don't think Vandermeer will play forward he might be able to keep him accountable.
I suspect they'll send Blakey to Darcy and try and run off him.

My guess is that we aren't that interested in centre square type 1-v-1 match-ups with the occasional exception but are more open with it in other area's of the ground.

1) Scott on Gulden and West on Blakey. Not sure West has played a lockdown role before?

BUT, I don't think our MC will try and curb them!

Poulter might also be an option on Gulden (if he lines up on the wing). Blakey is an interesting one as he seems to just run and carry and doesn't really take an opponent. Hopefully West can make him accountable by hitting the scoreboard a bit.

Thanks, just mentioning Blakey's height didn't really convey that.
I think Blakey will be matched up on Darcy and try to run off him a lot.
Florent and Rampe will get the more mid sized players and smaller players like Macrae, West and McNeil etc and I'd back Cunningham to go to Weightman.

Should be a great game and a critical one for us to win.

Our skill execution is one thing, but how bad is our decision making at times? Forward handballs to stationary targets with their back to goal (McNeil), handballs to players about to be tackled, kicking short to 50/50 contests.....

We just don't have many SMART footballers. Daniel is excellent in this regard but there aren't many others.

McNeil is the worst. He just wants to dish it off without taking some responsibility with ball in hand

Sydney are playing a 'surge' game, we can't match that with a 'pass backwards' to get a clean kick game.
We may need to switch it up and try and take territory. They can't hold Marra to donuts if we start getting half-decent opportunity to pump the ball into our attacking arc

This game is a barely watchable, unhinged, error-riddled scramble being officiated by a group of umpires under the influence of psychotropic substances.
Honestly a game between a team of Parkinson afflicted geriatrics whose opponents were all stricken with St Vitus Dance would likely produce more clean possessions and smooth passages of play.

That being said we have a half to redeem ourselves and we will.
