I reckon Ross Lyon has pulled an ace out of the pack electing to go with Sandi as the only bona fide ruckman and throwing Michael Johnson into the ruck to give Sandi a chop out. Johnno seems to be be thriving in the role to move up the ground, he's holding his own in the ruck contests but once the ball is in play he's an extra mid. This could have a similar effect to Nick Reiwoldt's move to a wing drifting up and down the ground and maybe it's good for Johnno's body. Might extend his career for another couple of years beyond this one.

Only problem is we don't have anyone at the moment to cover for him down back, a problem when we come up against sides with a couple of talls up front.

Also I reckon Sandi is playing as well as ever, he was dominant against Goldstein yesterday.
