Assuming you want Gumbleton to handle 2nd ruck duties (but push McEvoy as far as he'll go to avoid Gumbleton doing much?)
CW Mullets United - "Business at the front, party at the back" Round 5 Vs. Cornhusslers FB: Easton Wood || Josh Gibson || Corey Enright HB: Garrick Ibbotson || Andy Otten || Harry O'Brien C: Luke Hodge || Oliver Wines || Brent Moloney HF: Matthew Stokes || Quentin Lynch || Dustin Martin FF: Chad Wingard || Tom Hawkins || Ryan O'Keefe Foll: Aaron Sandilands || David Zaharakis || Daniel Jackson Int: Max Gawn || Dennis Armfield || Marco Paparone Sub: Dean Terlich INS: N/A OUTS: N/A Injuries: Mark Jamar (2 wks), Colin Garland (1 wk) Not selected: Ricky Petterd, Marty Clarke, Ashton Hams, Cam O'Shea, Ryan Lester, Will Sierakowski, Jason Johannisen, Cameron Ellis-Yolmen, Dylan Addison, Sam Darley. Tactics Jackson to tag Joel Selwood Gibson goes to NRoo Tomahawk #1 Fwd, Q-Stick #2 Fwd. Sandi/Gawn 90-10 split in the ruck in favour of Sandi. Rotate Wingard and Martin into the midfield if in need of a spark.
Was eventually going to happen. Nino gets a lot of creativity out of defence but when cooney/smith/suckling all have to look after o'keefe/wingard/martin their room to attack and rebound isn't as real. Sandilands also completely smashed McEvoy and Gumbleton too.
A few reasons why I'm not entirely surprised at the result - Bosh's biggest weakness is defence. He lacks a second key defender. Gibson broke even with Riewoldt and Otten surprisingly smashed Hansen. - Nino's biggest weakness is small forwards. Melksham, Douglas, Thomas and Savage are all more like midfielders to an extent. Bosh's defenders didn't need to be as responsible and weary like they'd have been with either more skilled forwards or forwards who actually normally play forward/crumbing. - Gumbleton occupies space and that's it, really. Ibbotson was able to zone off him with ease and completely cut off Hansen as a result - Wingard/Martin/O'Keefe is scary for defenders. Can't run off these blokes, ever. - Sandilands smashed McEvoy (to be expected) which helped cancel out the midfield advantage
CPL MVP: 5 - Aaron Sandilands: Dominated the ruck all day 4 - Garrick Ibbotson: Racked up the intercepts out of defence 3 - Ryan Griffen: 28 touches and 9 clearances. Dominated the centre from limited supply 2 - Chad Wingard: Electric as usual in the forward line 1 - Joel Selwood: Shook the tag to perfection - 29 touches and 6 clearances.
