Also I think they should have had Boyd as sub - thought fisher was so poor but how long since Boyd has played? Maybe the thinking might be Fish out and Marchbank in?



I reckon everyone was seduced by the Fisher stats playing loose, and "sucked", yesterday was the game to reintroduce Boyd to the team after serving his unjust penalty. Not to give him a taste. because he's not depth when it comes to defenders, of which, Fisher is not. Fisher doesn't serve a need AFAIC. Vossy got his look, but couldn't make the change with the stats Fish was accumulated.

Toby Greene is a deadset [REDACTED]. Trying to land someone in hot water for something so minor is a dog act, especially for someone with his record

I love Greeny, but you are dead right about his low act.

Do it at the end of the season, if he has to.

Weiters fine only cleared to play



Its all coming together. Rubs hands

This game is ours.

Crippa, Cerra, Walsh, Hewett will decimate the opposition at the furnace. Add Pitto's sharp elbows and knees.
This will not be a praccy game. Its do or die. And we will do the bullying.

Now for Acres to repair over the next 2 weeks, but if not, then 3 weeks against Dees or Pies at the G.

If Acres misses this week we will win by 5 goals. If he plays and is fit and firing we will win by 7 goals.

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 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


I didnt say Kemp has been playing badly. I dont think he played well yesterday, whereas Marchbank didnt play well last week, but looked good yesterday.
I'm going with experience for the next Final. Both good players. In the end I don't mind either way. I will leave that to Vossy.

Just because you keep saying Marchbank hasn't earned a spot, Voss keeps selecting him. Must be something in that. Marchbank's kicking yesterday was fantastic. I don't know why you would say it was poor. Some of those long passes....wow. How many intercepts did Marchbank have in 37% game time? Was he really as bad as you say? Was Kempy better than Marchbank yesterday? Maybe I missed something.

Its going to be hard to fit in the squad of 30 who all (except Boyd) have seen a bit of game time in the last month.

It will be interesting to see where the 'undroppables' Dow and Fisher are picked to play, if they are. Dow was good. Fisher has been, well, a spare in defense. But he's a fan fave because of his stats.

At this stage, we are all right with our teams, till the teams are selected.


I agree on Kemp. I thought he was poor yesterday and has been OK of recent. Personally, I thought Marchbank showed more yesterday and I'd retain him over Kemp. McGovern had the Greene match up most of the day but it was a poor call by the MC. Newman played him beautifully last time and they didn't follow up with it. :? A few of the backline match ups were poor at times yesterday. Hamill needs to do better.

I'd bring in Boyd for Fisher, retain Cincotta.

IMO allows Docherty to play back. Means Fisher out and do we pick Boyd or Cincotta to play on Papley?

Best. News. Ever.

Acres, Docherty, Walsh & Cottrell to drive our transition.
Cincotta is the man for Papley.

B: Newman Weitering Cincotta
HB: Saad Kemp McGovern
C: Docherty Hewett Acres
HF: Walsh Curnow Cottrell
F: Motlop McKay Owies
R: Pittonet Cripps Cerra
I: Cuningham Martin Fogarty De Koning
S: Kennedy

IN: Docherty, Motlop, Pittonet, Cripps, Kennedy
OUT: Fisher, Dow, Durdin, Hollands, Marchbank

Dow if Kennedy can’t go. Hollands unlucky, but we have to lean into the stoppages.

You're always nervous when its Carlton vs MRO.

Nothing in it.

Fleeting hands.

Don't worry.

if you do that, there will b aplenty of suitors waiting for some of your charm.
I'm going underground, face mask and all...you wont find me.

I will be at the G for FINALS.

Kemp in the 22 for me. Marchbank looks a yard slow and panicked when he has the ball

I like Marchbank, but I can live without him, and think Fogarty has served his purpose. Should be depth imo.

But, I can live with your team, no problem at all.
That is fantastic depth to enter a FINALS series as a contested team.
Even our best 22 bull Kennedy is a sub. FMD. Its on.

If Acres isnt fit, he's one we have cover for him, ample, (and doesnt include LOB). Anyone know for sure?

I rate the views of many on here and a few said they thought Harry did okay.

I'm not one of them. I thought he was very average and each time he went into the ruck I thought we looked all at sea. I'm pretty sure the 3 quick goals to GWS in the 2nd were when Harry was in the ruck.

I prefer the Pitto/TDK rotation and leave Harry to give Charlie some support.

Fish doesn't do it for me. Yesterday's brain fades convinced me......It's a No from me
Kemp v Marchy. I'm going to stick with Kemp only because he is more of the future than Marchy and he had been part of the 9 game winning streak.

Ins - Pitto, Cripps, Doc, Mots,
Outs - Fish, Durds, Fog, Holland.

Holland or Marchbank sub.

I'm confident Acres will be right and Doc to the other wing.

Pretty much the same team as Crusaders but Dow in for Fog. I'd love Kennedy in the team for his grunt but his time out of the game worries me in a hot final.

Regards Cazzesman

Was thinking the same.
Also the fact that we play Sydney (my first preference) and that we are on the good side of the finals draw as we remain in Melbourne if we beat the Swans. Combine this with a bit of luck in our recent matches against Melbourne and the Suns and it seems the footy gods are finally smiling on us.

There is no reason for us to play McKay in the ruck. The media circus sucked us in.
All teams try to have 2 KP forwards at a minimum. We robbed our forward line by doing this.
Good experiment, now let’s move on. Pitto or JSoS in next match.

Agree with these changes but would add that we look too slow with all 3 of Cripps, Hewett and Kennedy playing. Cunningham has been poor the last couple of weeks and might be lucky to survive.
