Although finals are guaranteed, an intriguing selection decision awaits coach Michael Voss ahead of Sunday's clash against the Giants. Adam Cerra (hamstring), Matt Kennedy (knee), Mitch McGovern (hamstring) and Sam Walsh (hamstring) are all expected to be deemed fit to play, but do they? On one hand, the Blues would like to give four of their most important players crucial time to regain full fitness ahead of September. On the other, they also need to assess their best mix and ensure the balance is right going into their first finals campaign in a decade. Four inclusions – some who haven't played for a considerable stretch – would be a lot for an elimination final in a fortnight's time. Elsewhere, small forward Corey Durdin (shoulder) also put his hand up for selection with eight disposals and 11 tackles in his VFL return last weekend. He could be another handy player to have available in September. – Riley Beveridge
His analysis is somewhat superficial, presenting as two alternatives the option to play four ins to give them a match to get up to speed and an alternative to assess our best mix…
In this case, that’s pretty much the same thing. We need to give these guys some game time BECAUSE they are part of our best mix. Certainly 3 of them.
I think everyone has more or less identified the three or four choices the MC will need to make re Boyd/Fisher/Cincotta, Marchbank, Kennedy/Dow/Hollands/Cottrell, and possibly Cunningham, Motlop. And, if fit, JSOS…
