Macaffer could be a decent option to tag Goddard. He can play back pocket, midfield and is obviously a dangerous forward option. He'd match him in the air as well as goes for him size wise.
But Ben Johnson was not as bad as many say last week because he tagged Pearce and held him well.
If Macaffer comes in, it's at the expense of Lockyer. Tarks was hopeless against the Saints in Round 3. Macaffer would be the defensive forward option and could go with Goddard better than Lockyer.
Jack, Cloke and Tarks for Medhurst, Leon and Macaffer.

His days of playing defence are long gone but his nous around goals and the ability of being a link man with his better than good disposal is required against the Saints!
Remember we kicked 4.17 last time with a lot of misses coming from our inexperienced players. Give Tarks the opportunity and he will deliver!

I have a horrible memory of Tarks in last years final against the saints, when he kicked the ball a mile high straight up, and out on the full. It was woeful, and at a critical game point. McCaffer is the future, and with all due respects, Tarks is not.

^ at least if Tarks gets a shot at goal from 30m out, we can almost put down our glasses. Goal!
The Caff, it's the same situation, but knowing it's a point!
Cheap shot, I know. But probably true.
Like Caff off half back. Not sure about up front.
In: Leon, Medders, Maxwell
Out: Cloke, Hmmm? & Hmmm? ......... I'll get back to you. think music please.
