Looks pretty close to me.

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

Cottrell - 11 possesions, 2 tackles, 169 meters gained last week but is selected before Hollands, Cuningham and Fogarty. Ok.

Cottrell is our Kamdyn Macintosh. Huge at creating turnovers and getting to contests

I am not a great fan but Cottrell can also play in a variety of positions.

Cottrell brings something different to the table than the above.

One of our biggest improvements have been the roles of Cottrell Hollands Acres Fogarty. They cover so much ground it's not funny. They get back and help our defence and then push forward. Like extra mids. They fill space and make it look like we have more players on the ground. Their roles are vital

I agree, perhaps less so Fogarty but I haven't looked at the data and may be overlooking his amount of running. Certainly the others are mileage machines and that is a key to being able to play the game the way we do. Unless we are prepared to bite the bullet on one only of Pittonet and McKay then we need our running machines, IMHO.

The MC know what they are doing and have a better picture than the one your present.
There's much more to player analysis than stats.

The numbers you've presented are much too simplistic.
You failed to mention he covered an impressive 16.5 kms; most on the ground and 80+% Disposal efficiency.
How many contests did he halve? How much deterrence did he create in the holes he plugged to stop lane ways for the opposition.

I love what Cottrell brings, and he knows how to play many positions well.

Amazing numbers. All Australian form all year. Even when Cornes suggested he was a dud whilst we were undefeated and he was one of our best.

WE have missed his impact and he will make a HUGE difference to our game.

Harry is so important to get up and running and in good touch before the Finals.
Can't underestimate getting a real competitive game under his belt.

Harry wasn't the target last week, but his presence allowed Curnow to play one on one.

I expect Harry to be on fire this week vs GWS.

I think back to the Port match as having our best line up of recent times in terms of this new way of playing and strong result.
From that team, Fisher has taken Boyd’s spot, Pittonet takes JSOS’ position and Dow has been promoted from sub.
We have also named Hollands, Durdin and Owies who weren’t playing that day. And Kennedy is in neither team at this stage.
Just an observation.

I'm sure he spends a lot of time running up and down the ground, gets to a lot of contests, and even impacts by halving the contest. Good on him.
Still not sure why others like Hollands, Fogarty and the like have better no's and do more footy acts. It must be that he can play wing/half forward better! I'll bow to your knowledge.

ps. you seem quite angry these days. I would have expected the opposite. I hope you're ok.

Is he selected before them? Side isn't named yet

Surrey
I think with the defensive mindset being paramount with our coaching group they love how Cot continues to run and run hard defensively right up to 4 th quarter
He is stronger at contest and over the ball than Hollands and scores more goals
Scores more goals than fogarty and can run faster and longer

Is more consistent than cunningham

Having said that I think Hollands Fogarty and cunningham are capable and all are senior foitbalkers who can play a role its the first time in years good players are fighting for spots

However can also see your arguments cunningham more brillian that Cot and can go through the middle

Fogarty a better tackler and can go through the middle unlike Cot
Hollands gets more possession than Cot and is a running machine too

One is in the 18, others are on the bench and unknowns. I think you can answer this yourself now.

Yep.

I think you went straight to the last 2 sentences of franks post and forgot the first 3 lines.
Fog and Cunners aren't going to give us the hard running needed by the team, that Cotts provides.

I'm a Hollands fan and a Cunners fan, and was on the Fogarty bandwagon to replace Motlop and Durdin who were not providing the forward pressure expected by Voss. Motlop is back. Blame him, not Cotts: different positions.

Cottrell and Cuningham are in my best 22 for finals, unless Kennedy takes Cuninghams spot. I also have Cottrell in the best 22 team too.

Bondi. Agree on Cottrell - what he does is underrated. He runs all day and pressures the opposition. It may not show in the stats but its the 1%ers that i love about him.

Cotts has been named in the 18 like Dow has.
Usually means he's been selected.

But doesn't mean Cuningham and Fogarty have been dropped till teams are announced at 5pm today....soon
