i think weiters will get a week. accident or not, they don't want players around the face, let alone the eyes. more should be made of why greene is choking mcgovern 20 seconds after the whistle was blown for a free, but all that seems to be lost


weitering is pretty dumb. eve of the finals and he's out here giving lash and brow treatments

Its time to get the band together for Finals.

I expect Pitto- TDK is Vossy's preference (and mine during Finals) to be back as business as usual.

I was impressed to see Harry pushed into the ruck, to see what happens (like Vossy said). I don't want to see that again during Finals.

I want 2 KPF's: a CHF and a FF, all the time, and we have Harry and Charlie to do that. So do it!

I notice on footy forums and in conversation there's a real preference to get Boyd back over Fisher to play defense. I'm really disappointed Boyd wasn't given game time in the last 3 weeks, like [url]all[/url] the other players (including depth) have enjoyed. Fisher was never going to be a loose player in defense during Finals. It does not happen.

Kempy wasn't great, and have felt all along he's been playing well, but is still serving his apprenticeship (developing). Ive enjoyed watching marchbank improve by the week and looked good when he came back on.

Weiters will be free to play, maybe pay a fine.

I'm assuming Acres will be right to play.

Cripps - Dow
Docherty - Hollands
Pittonet - Fogarty
Boyd - Fisher
Motlop - Durdin
Marchbank - Kemp

If Acres doesn't get up in 2 weeks, Hollands is in the team.

Sub Kemp.
Emergency Dow Hollands Fogarty

Dow, Kemp and Hollands unlucky.

I'd drop Cincotta before Kemp myself and have Dow as emergency.
Fisher v Boyd, not as fussed as others as to which way they go with that one.
Agree with the rest.

Leigh Montagna: “Zac Fisher looked vulnerable as a half back, I know he's been great getting a lot of ball. All of a sudden, come Finals time you're going to get exposed. Your vulnerabilities get exposed in Finals.”

David King: “You can't play him there.”

Leigh Montagna: “I'm not sure he's got his balance right between attack & defence & it puts everyone else out. They can be a bit aggressive, but they have tightened that up & they have played together a lot.”

Anthony Hudson: “They could go back to Jordan Boyd, or put Sam Docherty back in defence.”

[First Crack]

I tend to agree. Its Docherty or Boyd for me

Green kicked 4 goals and I've noticed many posters are blaming Cincotta.

It seemed to me that McGovern and Kemp were playing on Toby. Cincotta was on Brown wasn’t he?

It will be interesting to see whether Voss brings Pitto back.
He was clearly trying some things in a dead rubber - he’ll know whether that worked overall for us or not. I feel like he’ll bring Pitto back in.

I like Kennedy as the sub if he is right to go. His impact as sub early on in our winning run was huge.
Marchbank could be a smokey to fill the gap if Acres is out. He can run and link.

I think Fisher is on shaky ground based on his performance against the Giants. Really not sure whether we’ll switch Fisher for Boyd. Similarly Cottrell/Cunningham on shaky ground.

In: Cripps, Docherty, Motlop, Pittonet
Out: Acres, Durdin, Cunningham, Marchbank
Sub: Kennedy

i don't think kennedy is a consideration with hewitt in such good form.

kennedy hasn't played in so long and to bring him into finals - with so many other underdone players - is a long bow.

I couldn't disagree more about Dow & Kemp

Kemp has been very good and Dow has been so important the last 6-8 weeks. He add some run and dash that Cripps Heweet don't have. Allows us to use Walsh and/or Doc on a Wing or even forward

Midifeld dominance is the key. Cripps Hewett Cerra Walsh & Dow as our core is our stength

Marchbank has done nothing to earn a spot and his disposal is poor

It seemed to me that McGovern and Kemp were playing on Toby. Cincotta was on Brown wasn’t he?

McGovern & Cincotta I saw on him at different times. The way it came in was the issue and in a final Newman would sit on him.

Effort was the issue yesterday. I haven't seen the ball come in that easy since mid year

The argument from some posters that we play better with a smaller forwardline was played out for all to see yesterday.
Ball was bombed to Charlie. Other than Owies, smalls didnt have a big impact.
When Harry went in the ruck, Charlie was the sole target.

Didn't work out to be anything but a case against the small forwardline with 1 KP at times because we had 1 ruck.

You didn't see Kemp on Green?
