Oh Boy!
In my opinion Maratha is steadily improving week on week and I'm hoping he puts in a solid defensive game on Saturday.
Daniel I'm not quite sure, I hope he just does his job in defence and shores up the middle when he is on and has good ball control.
Raiders have struggled to score points lately so we need to put in a solid disciplined defensive game for 80 minutes and that will probably get the job done.

Great scoop ParraLurker, you've done it again!
Sounds good to me
Not keen on Alvaro . He is too slow , gets caught on ground too much ( that was pre - rule changes ) and doesn't bend the line back. Not too many other options with Evans and brown out .,
Old Gower with his late footwork would have given us a decent 20 minute stint too.
Unfortunately given the lack of 2nd tier footy, BA really has to give Alvaro the run now when he can because there's a chance he'll be needed as the season progresses. Most coaches are looking at rotating some players this season as a result of COVID-19, BA will probably have to anyway, now is as good a time as any when we are 5-1.
Daniel will surely need the exercise and 20 minutes tops on field ? . Might be his one and only run on this year particularly if injuries and suspensions have minimal further impact on our forwards . Be good to watch him again in first grade after a long break and wish him good luck .
Nathan Brown has been phenominal in his two games since the recommencement of this season. His speed from ruck back into the defensive line, his off-the-backyard-fence straight and angled runs and his tackle-breaks have been a joy. I really hope he can avoid any more suspensions this year, because two in the first six games of the season is just not acceptable.
Gives us some idea us to the pecking order of our middle forwards;
tier 1:
Paulo, RCG, Brown
tier 2:
Evans, Niukore, Terepo
tier 3:
Kaufusi, Stone
tier 4:
Alvaro
