I agree, HQ comes in 8 goals must be rewarded.
That will put a different perspective on our forward structure.
One that will worry opposition once Harry and Aaron work it out.
The footy department will make the right call on Stubbs, Schenslog and Johnson, I am sure.
Schenslog is important so the right call is better for the long term.
IMHO Preston-Coates was unconvincing, although it was a tough call on the kid.
I think at home I am expecting a better showing against SD.
I am still not convinced by CL or Subi, and I am sure that at full strength we can challenge WP.

FYI DF, we have 6 out atm, we have more room to improve:)

As long as your happy with the result considering our backline, good for you.
Not sure that you've convinced me about WP.
We'll see who is standing at the end of the year.
IMHO you'll be fighting for 5th spot.
CL is likely to be the first casualty from that list.
Just my perspective.

DD how did Johnston perform in the reserves?
12 disposals but I notice he kicked a goal.

He looked ok, I’m sure he played down back but must have drifted forward for a sneaky goal. Has spent time forward at training. He has to come in for mine and Schlenga reckons he’s good to go this week. Swans always kill us in the air so we need some muscle down back and more firepower up front. 

Schlenga and Johnno in for probably PC and Poole and Q and Stubbs in for Cary and Hill who is injured. Kemp needs to do more.

Isn't Haywood in good form?
He has better defensive efforts?
Not sure Kemp is the better option.
Don't you mean Q and Stubbs for Cary and Bodle?
I thought Poole was doing okay in defence?

Looking forward to seeing Clark and Q working together.
At last, we may have a forward line that could test some sides.

Haywood didn't play on the weekend. Bodle has some ex factor. Cary is sadly out of form. Yes Poole has been ok but Johnno a bit taller and has 19 games under his belt. Punched above his weight last year.

They were super together in the scratch matches though Clarke couldn't convert but seems to have sorted that out now under Coup's guidance. I'm curious to see what Stubbs can do with two big key forwards around him. Won't be getting double and triple teamed like he's been when he is the main target.
