I am not convinced by Tommy as a forward. I don't think he pulls the overhead marks in enough. Sort of scratching my head about him coming back in to the 'A' Grade after being out with a back strain and Morton playing reserves. I saw Tommy play a couple of games at Full Back on big opposition last year and he was pretty good, maybe time to try him out with teddy out. Interesting Alex Brown, Dean Towers and Jordan Lockyer all get a go. Jordan would have to improve a hell of a lot to get AJ's spot. Tony A and Dane R are both in and have the best chance I would think. Good to see Alex Brown in the mix after so many injuries.1 week out, and with Richards missing (and of course AJ), it would seem LRT is destined to bolster the defence.
By my reckoning, that leaves only quality forwards in Reid, Goodes and McGlynn.
With Pyke also missing this week, ruck/forward tall will be shared by Mumford, White and Walsh.
All the midfield champions will start, and that means we will (again) be counting on them for plenty of the scoring.Comment

i think jordie is a bit on the short side Ugg but Brown maybe. I sould like to see Tommy in the backline just to have a look at him. He played a couple of games in the Twos at FB and was pretty good. They were the right type, big, strong forwards, not too fast, Jonno Brown types.Comment

If only one could judge a player by their physique and get Tommy to play sans shirt, he would be a moral. Unfortunately they do insist the boys cover up. Don't know if he is going to blitz them, but it won't be for lack of endeavour. He does work.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Brown and Lockyer are the same height.i think jordie is a bit on the short side Ugg but Brown maybe. I sould like to see Tommy in the backline just to have a look at him.

it is funny how certain players look way taller or shorter then they are
Rampe at 189cm vs Mattner at 188cm look chalk and cheese !!!!"be tough, only when it gets tough"

Yes he does but I still think he may be a other in the forward who makes it as a backman like Reg.Comment

Lockyer looks a bit smaller for some unknown reason. Maybe Brown is just more imposing or something, that lanky look? They are both shorter than AJ though. LRT, Grundy, Teddy & Xavier are our only tall backs now. I think Tommy might just have to go back as we have plenty of tall forwards. Reidy, Tippett, Goodsie, Jesse, Everett & the resting rucks. Towers, Marsh, Dick, Cunningham, Marty, Rhyce, Smithy, Mal, Tony A & Rampe are all under 190cm & I really don't believe Harry will play back for good.Comment
