When Lucas is 'on it' he's a real handful, when he isn't he's slow, poor in the air and has touch like a trampoline. He's not really recovered his form since the facial injury. Bowery would be a better option up top at the moment.
I agree, as I said in the Swan thread, I'd give Swan a game on Tuesday and rest Akins - I know they are different players but it will make us play it on the deck more, which is when we are at our best. Too often we just lump it to Akins and let him deal with it. Against FGR I'd go with:
Pym
Lewis, Flint, Cargill, Real Macca
Brunt
Clarke, Maris, Quinn
DKD
Swan
Oh Rob......You got what you wanted today didn't you, Clarke and Maris together?
Trouble is they are doing double the work now he's decided to play a back six
The problem in a nutshell.
