Given how we played last week I expect us to line up like this
B: Stocker Young Plowman
HB: Docherty Weitering Saad
C: Hayes Cripps Newnes
HF: Cerra McKay Fisher
F: Silvagni Curnow Durdin
Foll: TDK Hewett Walsh
Int: Kennedy Cottrell Newman Motlop (O'Brien)
Stocker in to take Stengle
Plowman on Rohan
For mine, a couple of minor changes.
Newnes to the bench, Cerra from half forward to Newnes wing and Kennedy from bench to Cerra's half forward.
Cerra and Walsh rotated through HF last week and worked well. Voss has been using Walsh in that role all year
Kennedy hasn't played forward all year and bench means nothing.
Let’s be mindful our opinions from the outside are our opinions only not dogma
Walsh hasn’t played the HF role all year
Correct that Kennedy hasn’t played that role all year.
Doesn’t mean they will or won’t this week.
I think vossy has found out a lot about each player by testing them in different roles
The flexibility of the midfield group has been a feature.
The only mid I haven’t seen play various roles is Hewitt
Before the season started Carlton posters on different forums were adamant we wouldn’t play 2 rucks and 3 talls in the forward line would not happen coz it’s too top heavy, cumbersome, slow and we witnessed Vossy select 2 rucks and had Harry Charlie SOS and TDK in the forward line at the same time and had the Tigers shitting themselves.
Vossy is building flexibility and arming himself with tactics I think he will use in Finals and posters will be surprised but really shouldn’t be. Voss doesn’t seem to pigeon hole the midfield group because of the depth we have within that group.
This is a Transition year…..good luck to Hayes tomorrow night on the wing. He has been a star for us in the VFL playing midfield all year before he was given the nod and plucked in the MSD.
Anything can happen. Players with shortfalls will be overtaken. Players who itidy up shortfalls will be rewarded. Welcome back Stocker.
Pressure on spots will see huge improvement in players to play the role they are given by Vossy as expected. Looking forward to seeing Pitto, Gov, Marchy, owies, Boyd’s….all back.
