A lot of us have the Sandi - Z. Smith - J. Tippett ruck with Petrie in the forwards set up. A lot of us are also downgrading Tappy to Tom Lynch this week. Sooooo, with Lurch out, do we put Z. Smith on the field or swing Petrie up to the rucks via Tippett and put Lynch (or Matera) on the park?? To close for me to call. Waddaya reckon?
I'm backing Smith, was playing alright before the bye and shouldn't have too much trouble with Ottens out against the Cats.
Gotta have Smith on the park. He'll ease my Sandi pain. Against an Ottens-less Cats, too, should dominate.
