    Bolton out for six weeks

        Most likely Ted. But isn't nice to know that with B2 out that we still have the cover between Richards, LRT, Grundy to cover Fev and Brown (if he plays) - we couldn't have said that with much confidence in seasons past.

        I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

        If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

          Well this sucks. Time to test our backline depth.

            Well this sucks! I'd like to see horses for courses- Ted for teams with big forwards, Patty for others.
            I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
            We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

              Good point. I think Reg would have taken Brown this week anyway, tho B2 would've taken Fev. But many times this year B2 has taken the small forward (LeCras, Milne, Dangerfield). I can't see Teddy taking these roles, tho coaches had the confidence to throw Nick Smith the Lecras role after B2 went off so perhaps opens the opportunity for another smaller mid when we're not playing the giants.

              Many was the time when we've said "what would we do without Craig?" Well, right now it doesn't seem nearly as scary as it might seem. Nevertheless, get better soon Craig!

                To even it out, they may lose Merret.

                  Yep- in my mind it is use Smith as the 3rd defender and bring in Patty but ifyou expect 3 talks and that Smith may struggle then bring in Ted instead. Keep Smith in and add Patty is the default option.

                    He's been carrying the injury for a few weeks and seems to have aggravated it by still playing. Pretty silly stuff.

                      Ted and Paddy much more talkative. Smith will definitely struggle to get a word in.
                      I wonder if they'll rest Brown - doesn't seem in good shape. Hope Fev isn't in his 'annihilator' mode like last year.

                        We've played West Coast, North and Richmond over the past 3 weeks. Why he wasn't rested for those games is beyond me Very poor management especially when we're up against some difficult teams over the next month.

                              So you play your best players regardless of any injuries they're carrying?
