Surely there’s a “pecking order”…and Cerra is above
at least 2-3 players…simple…!
the Cotters and Martin calls are a bit tougher…!
kindest regards tommi
I reckon In: Cotters is the easier call because Fantasia is filling in for him (and doing okay, but not as good as the original). Cerra is a tough one because the obvious call was to drop either Hewett or Kennedy to sub, but they've both played great games the last few weeks.
i think he'll come in for kennedy. it's not a knock and its not kennedy's fault either. cerra provides the kind of run and polish we'll need to compete with pies and swans come finals. and that's where voss will be at, fine tuning everything for a finals tilt.
maybe lions are a finals smoky, but we need more run if we're going to dust swans or pies. are there ay other teams in the 8 that would worry us?
if we stay healthy we'll win the flag
Kennedy was in the coaches votes for last match, we won’t be dropping him. Fantasia or Durdin will make way.
it'll be like for like - kennedy or hewett, i'd go kennedy. fantasia makes way for cotteril when he's ready and eventually motlop for durdin, and that's us.
cerra can't fill in durdin or fantasia, and we can't roll with 100 mids, espesh when hewett and kennedy bring similar size, speed and skills.
yeah but where is Jack Martin in all this?
i’d take Cerra in for Fantasia out every week of the year and then some.
Cerra wouldn’t be asked to do Fantasia’s role like for like, if that’s the only
change made, but the game day coaches would jiggle roles around to make Cerra one of the main midfield rotations.
guessinf Hewitt or Kennedy goes forward for more minutes to make room for Cerra who focus more on defensive transition (defending miss in back half and then part of our patterns running it out with handball chains).
depending on matchups etc.
getting the matchups right has been a big part of the turn around, as has training it week in and week out, building belief.
speaking of defensive transition, our ball use has gone to a new level in the last few weeks. half a dozen players or more which have been clean as a whistle “one touch” players or hand balling under tackle pressure. amazing to see this turn around and confidence in their teammates and their own disposal skills. occasional overconfidence but i’d rather see that than timidity.
