Cerra has hardly played wing all season. Why would he start now?
The midfield has functioned well with Cerra in there and Walsh playing high H/F-mid. I can't see that changing.
Stocker will come in IMHO. Newnes has been poor when played in defence. I'd think he'll stay rotating wing.
Just my guess, I have no inside info but I cant see them unsettling 3 lines for one injury..

Ask Voss. I’m only the messenger

IMO Walsh looked better back in the midfield last week

One of the rare times this season we haven’t gone “like for like” at selection - we seem to be going in with one less defender. Newnes or Cottrell must be joining the defensive rotation. I’m surprised Stocker wasn’t picked.

I don’t have a lot of confidence in Kemp/Plowman getting the job done again as the 2nd tall. It’s a real shame Weitering didn’t come up.

Team defence
Last we kept out Taberner/Lobb
Win contested ball and maintain the zone

……AND we have the Doc

I'm just a passenger of the Voss Voyage. Why wouldn't you be. Leaders everywhere.

Strength is on the increase on every line, in every player by the week; mentally & physically.
Some of the youngest/weakest/undeveloped bottom 10 are showing form in the seniors.
This is remarkable stuff. Throw the rule book out. Voss to the promised land...

We shouldn't lose if the boys keep this form going on a weekly basis now to the Finals

Please don't lose against the Saints.

Everyone looks good in Navy Blue

With the dogs losing, if we win this game, we are three games clear of 9th at the end of the round.

High stakes. Don't blow it!

Huge game but as others have mentioned - StKilda will be playing their GF. We need to play as per last week. No passengers but I'm not entirely comfortable with our 22. Our bottom 5 or 6 right now are a concern.

I think it's a concern for Stocker that he didn't come in for Boyd.
Obviously there's something about his game or attitude that hasn't won him a spot.

Tough game. Saints have their best team for the year on paper and play well against us for some reason- although this is the new Carlton
But if we can’t beat a semi decent saints team, no point in dreaming of anything in September.
It seems their weakness is their forward line and TDK will have a tough challenge
Cmon blues - don’t spoil the weekend!

I like Stocker. He has some nice traits and could be a LT player for us. But I can't recall seeing many great games by him yet and think he is still very much a young player finding his way and has a lot of improvement in him. Personally I think he's been grossly over hyped by fans given his output.

Kind of like that Kemp gets to play again. He was decent last week despite being outpointed in the air a couple times. Fingers crossed he had another good game bec obviously he is being asked to play a role really he shouldn't be playing and so potentially can be a weak link for no fault of how own. It'll again come down to the midfield and in turn territory battle. Expect St K to have a plan for Walsh so hopefully we are ahead of their thinking. Win the ball at the source we should win the game and not have Kemp exposed in the air.

I think Stocker's injury set him back a fair bit physically and mentally.

I'm feeling nervous about this one. I know others have felt nervous about some other games this year where I wasn't worried in the slightest, but I'm nervous about this one much like I was for the filth game.
Hope the boys show up.
