Yeah agreed, Lyon will want top 4 at the least. Their last 3-4 games are pretty tough and if it comes down to Rd 22-23 to secure a top 4 berth, can't see even Lyon resting his guns like Fyfe and Sandi.
The next two games after this week will be interesting though. GWS and St. Kilda (6 days later) offer a perfect chance to make sure some players are fresh for a challenging run home. Some could double up with St. Kilda and the split round.

this years really proving how important it is to get your rucks right.
seems the ruck role in afl has evolved.
quality rucks kick goals seem to play almost like tall rovers getting quality possies around the ground, tackling and of course hit outs are a bonus to there game and scoring potential.
hope a few gun rucks gain ruck/fwd status next year.
there just absolute scoring machines when there on.

Warnock!!!!@!@@!!!
Been wanting to trade him for years and he can only tap ruck but gives you nothing else. The difference in ability to mark a ball between him and Casboult is scary. To think we had Jacobs and Warnock is sickening.Once Kruezer is back please goodbye Mr Warnock. Sick of a ruckman with no marking presence

He's never had much luck so far getting an extended run of football to reach his potential. Forgetting SC, but as a Carlton fan I am worried about his body. He has got issues with his hips that either will never be ideal or have to be managed for all his career. He has actually been out for other injury reasons but that hip issues concern me he will always have to miss a game during a season every 6 to 8 weeks to get through a full season ok.
As a Carlton fan after seeing Warnock finally get to ruck all his own for a number of months it's allowed us to see beyond any doubt he is just not good enough around the ground with making his presence felt as a marking option. I don't think we can afford to play him with Kruezer when Kruze is back. For long term we need to get most out of Kruezer. His best is way better than Warnock because he is a presence around the ground. I cannot see any reason any more to experiment with Kruezer and Warnock together.
For mine I think as a club we settle on Kruezer being the clear no.1 ruck going forward and Casboult can help out when needed and get rid of Warnock.
Casboult is great value around the ground as a marking presence so Warnock just does not add attributes to our team we need if he wanted to be a regular in our 22.
As for SC itself, I for one, will not be planning to pick Kruezer in supercoach simply because even on a good year without any bad luck to injuries I expect Kruezer to miss a game or two to ease the load on his hips.

It's their MO. Allows a legal loophole in order to say, "we didn't say it was true", but thereby allowing them to print it pretty much as fact anyway. "It is believed", "Fairfax believes", "sources close to the etc. believe" - exactly how the smear campaign against EFC has been run. (I'm sure you're aware of that though. It ****es me off no end as well.)
This all smells a bit.
The alleged incident occurred in 2007, yet the girl waits until 2014 and when Majak Daw is quite well known for the matter to be bought forward. I'm not taking anyone's side here as no-one knows the full story, but I would've thought this would be something that you'd press charges for pretty quickly after it happened, would it not?
Also, for those who are unaware and the BS articles that keep writing the story as "Daw raping a 15 year old girl", he was 16 at the time.
