Been trying to move some magnets around to see how we can get a solid team on the park.
Kennedy has been beaten up recently due to some ordinary hospital passes, but clearly his midfield time has been down, wondering if he can rest as the 3rd tall, for a game or two, which releases JSOS to play in defence - we need support down there and he has a fierce competitiveness, so feel he wont be lost down there + DNA.
Means we need to replace Kennedy in the middle which brings in Setters who has been good in the 2s for a couple of weeks.
Gives us a competitive beast in defence, gives Kennedy a rest of sorts (he is a good mark and kick so not lost forward) and replaces like for like for Setters coming in.

Like.
I'm not sure of the thinking behind putting JSOS back apart from he is tall. Has he ever played there. Are we losing more than we are gaining by doing that?
agreed.
JSOS plays a hit up forward in the middle for transition and even falls back into the D50 at times. once he gets it in the middle our players know he’s dangerous so can steam forward. (even when he mis-kicks it hits up someone running beside him
) he’s too important doing what he does. there’s more to being a forward than clunking it 20 metres out from goal. he does all the other stuff and as shown last week is still a threat inside the 20 metre zone if they don’t get physical touch on him or block him out.
we’re losing the games we lose lately in the middle not in the D50 in spite of our KDP injuries. having Weiters and Oscar there certainly covered for some drop off in performance in the middle but end of the day our mids have either been worked out by oppositions or out worked by oppositions. no Pitto certainly makes their job much harder at clearances but it’s also on rebound/slingshot play they’re not manning up. probably why Voss lost it after Q3 against Essendon*.
