If I was the list manager, I'd suggest to Doc it's the perfect time for him to step away from footy. 80k at the G against the old foe. Peter McCallum Cup. A cause close to his heart.
Our wings were terrible last week and Doc was in no mans land too often when playing wing. 13 disposals with 5 turnovers against the Hawks, he was lucky to get a game last week IMHO. Averaging 14 disposals at less can 62% efficiency in 3 games this year. Nowhere near enough. He may have the occasional decent game but he's just filling a spot at best. Give the game time to a kid.
I'm not a fan of Binns but we need to see if he's up to it.
Young to play a defensive role on Moore. He's been playing a vital role and deserves credit for it. A big game for Motlop. He's on the edges but tries to do too much on the rare time he gets the pill. Turns into trouble when he has a handball option, taking on 2 players, trying to kick the miracle goal. Just do the team things.
The back line will be interesting. Jack has been named forward but he's the perfect match up for Mihocek. Do they get Frampton to play a defensive role on Weiters? McGovern will probably take Elliott. I wouldn't be surprised to see Walsh spend more time on the wing this week. We need something there. Our wings are currently a liability and Ollie isn't the answer. He was playing well in defence. Leave him there. Maybe Bobby Hill?
Hopefully White isn't the sub.
With any luck, O'Keefe, Durdin and Carroll and Ben and Lucas play VFL and play well.
Sad about Doc. I have blue coloured glasses on, but his output hasn't been good this year. I thought it was just round 1 jitters v Tigers. He's been fumbly last 2 weeks too. He's playing, so I hope he puts his stamp on this game. He owes us.
Lovin the Young-Moore idea.
Frampton selected because McInnes injured, but also because Fly expected Harry to play. He takes Charlie?? They have a tall backline against our selected forwards
I prefer Haynes over Gov. Selected teams makes me think Haynes is sub, SOS goes back and Gov is IC...or...he goes forward.
If Walshy goes onto a wing, we need midfield rotations. Expect Lord and Doc to help in there. Maybe Williams and Motlop too, and when that happens, we will need White as a quick small forward.
Its another 50-50 game, we should win.
