Must win.

Guessing JUH will come back, probably for his only game of the season, and kick 8

Knowing our crap luck, Bam Bam Kennedy will probably kick the winner after the siren.

No Bont, no Dogs, no excuses.

We have the talent to cover this lot, if we're going to make anything of this season.

Last year they had a bunch of players out and we still went to water (on Cripps' 200th no less).

Has to be a win if they are fair dinkum.

The problem though is you'll have bam bam spilling on the game plan etc, not that there is a lot to spill.

Harry in for Young and JSOS back to defence
Boyd for Haynes
Binns for Lucas (I like Lucas however don't think he is ready yet)

I'd have thought Young is a good match for Darcy, with Weiters on Naughton. How many other giants are they rocking at the moment? I've not really kept track on the injury front.

I know this almost certainly won't happen, but I'd go with the following (fitness permitting):

Cowan - Young - Carroll
Saad - Weitering - O. Hollands
Binns - Cripps - Docherty
Cottrell - Curnow - Williams
Motlop - McKay - Fogarty

DeKoning - Cerra - Walsh

INT: Silvagni - Kemp - Hewett - Boyd*

Sub: Moir

out: Haynes, McGovern, Acres, L. Campo, Lord
in: McKay, Boyd, Carroll, Binns, Moir

Campo / Wilson / Lord / Evans / White - all should be considered to add run to the side

*Boyd isn't listed as injured. I assume he's available to play.

You are joking I hope.

Acres 10 disposals at 50% eff., 203m gained, 1 mark and 1 tackle.
Kicking eff. 43%
Not good enough for an experienced wing.

Lucas a second gamer and only played 3/4s had 9 disposals at 66.7% eff., 2 marks, 3 clearances and 182m gained.
Kicking eff. 60% (10th in the team).

I'd be dropping Acres for Binns or Ben Campo if I am to be honest.
Binns has been questionable when he's been put in the seniors, I'd like to see how good the supposed "better" brother is.
Lucas has been playing well for a 1st and 2nd gamer, dropping him instead of Acres is playing favourites and accepting mediocre performances from senior players IMO. As was subbing him out last night, there were players ahead of him on that list.

Lord had no impact when coming on and Cowan was kicking at 20% so I'd drop him for Boyd.

Pretty sure Voss said we were good, just missed moments….

Anyway, Charlie is clearly not right so he’ll be out. McKay has a virus in his knee, expect him to miss a month.

Out Lord, Lucas, Charlie
In Voss favs x3

Still very, very flat.

We are our own worst enemies. No reliable method of ball movement, zero forward structure or system and very ordinary skill level. Poor conversion.

There are positives though. Effort, intensity and pressure much much better. Play like that every week and take our chances and we will win more than we lose.

There is a lot of angst currently, which I totally understand and am part of I guess.

Just hope internally they can take confidence from last night and get a win next week. We all desperately need it.

I would legit not play either of Harry or Charlie. Both are clearly not right whether that's injury related or match fitness related (or both).

Force us to do something different. Or we can just bomb it into SOS and Kemp :lol:
