Let’s hope he got 6 oof out during the practise game and then only has another 16 to go.

I dont see our best line up having JSOS, GOV, Haynes and Cowan all in the side as defenders. I am sure injuries and form will take care of things as the season progresses and I think we will get away with it tomorrow night.

Voss and the MC S selection processes are a classic case of playing favourites
Last years final was a classic example of it
No different with these selections
He is so set in his ways
Selection integrity is key to a harmonious environment

I would Binns ahead of Campo
Moir ahead of Francis

I don’t rate McGovern Williams
Too soft and injury prone
I would love Wilson and Lemmey given game time
Fogarty is ordinary
Shit kick doesn’t do enough
Why the love
All will be revealed Cazzeman
Richmond should be an easy kill
The following week will tell a tale
I will say this again
Most supporters look at their own club too much
They don’t at the others particularly the better ones enough
The players I mentioned would struggle to get a game at other clubs
Binns has done plenty to warrant a game based on form rather than so many injuries last year

Voss’s selections strategy and match day coaching in that final last year was the worst I have ever seen
He thought so because he retreated to the safety of the coaches box

Sure but teams actually need to be selected.

And yes I think anyone who’s followed the game for a few years realises that not everyone on any list is the perfect footballer.

Post your team.

So you’re pissed because the senior team has two selections that you would have done differently.

This is despite the match committee being right there involved in the individual players’ lives and aware on a daily basis of their capacity to follow instructions and meet agreed expectations.

And you have a better handle on what’s going on because you read stuff on a screen 4000kms away?

Makes sense.

I’m a Moir fan.

Binns? Jury’s out.

And I live 500m from Princes Park but I don’t assume to know more about what’s going on there than those whose jobs depend on making the right decisions.

keogh, Campo is a feel good story for a game we should win comfortably. Give the kid a taste, see how he goes. No doubt we we're saying the same about his dad 20 years ago. I can't help but think Binns would be in if Campo doesn't cut it.

The rest I agree with, but we are thin on the ground

I can't work out your argument keogh. You say Voss plays favourites, but your solution is to drop 2 first gamers :?

Good selections for mine . Pretty balanced outfit . A couple of spots debatable for sure but isn't that the case every week ? as far as those left out in Moir , Lemmey , Binns , I am sure they will get there chance at some point . As far as the Lou Campo selection goes he made a statement in the praccey match V GWS and made his case in one game . Some players do that . The team selected gives a great chance to start the season on a good note . And yes , like most of you I am nearly wetting myself with anticipation . Go the Old Dark Navies .

You have to see how the game plays out
He clearly doesn’t rate Binns and Moir but when they did play 2 games they added something to the team
Run and X factor up forward

How is it clear that Voss doesn't rate the above?

So many variables.
Are they fully fit?
Are they performing well at training?
Have they been given specific things to work on?
etc etc

Based on one practice game where the opposition played bruised free footy


I would expect Voss to be assessing players all throughout preseason and not just one practice game against as you say "opposition playing bruise free footy".

And you can easily see L Campos kicking is streets ahead of Binns even before any games.

Its unfortunate we have 13 players not available for round 1.

With big boys Curnow and Pittonet out and midsized players like Newman, Hollands and Cincotta missing, along with smalls Smith, Fantasia, Hollands, comes opportunity.
Thankfully there is no VFL games, so the depth players get to show their wares without impacting the VFL team.

Lucas Camporeale played well in BOTH practise games this preseason.
Easily ahead of Binns.
Great to see Vossy giving the nod to Campo to play his first game. No doubt to anyone who watched the 2 praccy games, he has earned his spot in the team; a standout.

Moir hasn't shown much in the preseason, other than returning with a bigger body.
He may have the stamina for a sub, but if he had to come on in the first quarter for an injured player, I think he'd fade out of the game as he did vs Saints, and we would be carrying him.

No need for supporter favourites to be picked selected ahead of the obvious best placed listed players.

Succinctly put we can’t win a flag with
McGovern
Williams
Francis
Haynes
Docherty
Fogarty
Yet they continue to get games over others
Our depth is shit but Binns and Moir should be in that team imo

While I’m at it the recruitment of Haynes and Francis says it all regarding bland conservative recruiting
You get AFL experience but they simply don’t mean premierships
Your bottom six players win you a flag
Nathan Cooper should of played AFL
It should be easy tonight
Next weeks game will be a different story
With Docherty his selection last year in that final was embarrassing and disgraceful
I admire him like everyone else but others mentioned should have played over him
Docherty’s practice match form has been average
I’ll be watching these blokes in round 2

Supporters have no right to question the MC's selections after 6 months of preseason, most behind closed doors.

No drama having an opinion, but to criticise selections without any understanding of each player's fitness, body of work, let alone their charter within the team's fabric is a reflection of the type of supporter, not the coach.

I doubt Voss will be outcoached by Yze, AND, this is a warm up game for next week's game against the highly fancied Hawks, who we will beat for reasons I've outlined before. Why fear the Hawks when we haven't even seen the Blues play for 4 points this season?

Curnow and Fantasia will be back next week, and that will put pressure on the players tonight to keep their spot.

Bring it on. Bounce the ball. :fight: Its a brand new season.

Haynes has been outstanding to watch during the preseason. You've obviously missed it.
Maybe there's a good reason for selecting Haynes for season 2025. I can think of plenty of good reasons for the choice. Think about it.
Have a look at our list. We have more under 23 players than any team in the top 12.

You didnt see what Doc does live. Completely different to what you see on the box.
He was bought back too quick last year. Sure, we all agree, but that was on the MC not Doc. That was last year.

You agreed with David King a few years back that we are killing Cripps, then he went on and won 2 Brownlows since that.
Things change after a good preseason.

Until the kids match or pass Doc, he's in. And no way is Binns going to improve us over Docherty, nor Moir, nor Lemmey, nor Carroll, who is imho is Docs closest challenger. Wilson had an interupted preseason. He's not ready to play AFL yet, but he's learning.

We are playing for a FLAG. This is not our development year. Injuries rocked us off our perch last year. That is obvious for all of us to acknowledge.

The window is open, and we have our first game tonight. I think that's exciting. One week at a time.

My biggest worry about this game is Nankervis "accidentally" injuring De Koning.
