At least that's an opportunity for a few boys to get injured in a game situation then. Worried we were going to get a couple of 1-2 weeks with domestic injuries

Last week there were no injuries in the 1s or the 2s. And it felt weird

1-TDK has the advantage over English...
2-There 2 best mids are out...
3-Dogs will have a downer after a big game/celebration last week.

I have a bad feeling.....

Well you've [REDACTED] us now.

The side is flexible enough for Voss to move the pieces around to get the match ups right and play to our strengths. Those who are always screaming for Plan B should be happy!
I like the addition of Boyd.

Huh, can you explain.
We dropped a wing and an inside mid for a back pocket and small forward.
I'm failing to see the flexibility in this when we are having midfield issues both on D50 rebounds and F50 entries.
Plan B would be dropping some talls and/or adding speed and making it more of a run and carry team IMO.
I think at the most we have upgraded some positions but even then, I would've dropped Acres before Campo.
Definitely not a plan B scenario.

I think we had enough energy and time with momentum to score more than we did last week. David King pointed out a number of times attacking when we went into 50 to early. The extra handball/short kick would have opened it right up for us and there were loads of examples when that was on but not taken. If we work on resolving that and go back to enjoying taking risks ,celebrating the right kinds of mistakes and not being scared to lose we should be able to spark up our season. Starting tonight.

L Campo was struggling to run out the game and was subbed off last week. Not unexpected as it is his first season. He has showed glimpses he can play so going back to the twos , who play Footscray in a scratch match, is not a bad thing. As for wings we have Acres, Walsh, Docherty, Hollands and Cottrell who can all play wing, as well as Cerra. How many choices do you want?
Lord came on as sub in the last quarter. Why do we need another inside mid. Crippa, Hewett, Walsh and Cerra can all play that role. Lord also needs a full game, which he will get in the two's.
What we lacked last week were options across half back with speed - hence the inclusion of Boyd which should enable more run and carry as you requested.
I expect Evans to be the sub who when on the ground would enable Williams and Motlop to play higher.
I will be at the ground cheering the boys on. Lets hope for a fairer go by the umpires.

GO BLUES!

Fair point.
However, I think we lacked a little more than options on HB.
I agree Boyd will be an upgrade and a better addition to HB, but I would've rather seen him replace Cowan.
I also agree that Campo is still building his tank, but we persisted with Ollie going through the same problem. Both elite runners and Campo kicking at 66% last week.
Our wings are not as good as we like to think.
Hollands is one sided defensive player and is why he has been moved back to where he plays his best footy. No longer a wing.
Acres has been absolute rubbish so far. Would've been dropped in any of the top teams. At the most I would've had him as a sub for Campo this week.
Doc is well and truly off the pace as we have seen, hopefully he plays back in form.
Cottrell has been ok, it'll be good to see him on the wings again to see if he has fixed his kicking issues and is more damaging going forward.
Walsh should be on the wing, he plays his best footy there, but with Lord out that won't happen now.

Campo and Walsh on the wings with Cottrell rotating or at HF and Acres as sub would've given us the opportunity for massive amounts of drive and running power all game.

Maybe Evans will be played as an inside mid for the last quarter or Motlop will, he's already got 5 CBAs this season.
Still not sure on this but willing to see it play out some more.

Either way I still don't see any of this as a plan B.

I will be watching from my armchair.

I’m in the States so barring getting up in the middle of the night to go to the ladies, I won’t know if we won or lost.

Traitor. Say it ain't so JJ, say it ain't so.

Regards Cazzesman

Sad I know Cazz. Booked this trip before the nightmare November elections. There is wall to wall coverage of signalgate here. The place is an absolute cluster. Prices are out of sight. Coffee is around $14 AUD for dirty water. They can’t make coffee if their life depended on it.

I have my lightsaber from Disneyland so it’s a tick of the bucket list. Off to NYC on Sunday. So I’ll miss the Doggies and Filth games.

Play safe and don't mention politics in any bars. There are lots of feral stubba's drinking themselves silly.

Like Tuesday, I have no feel.

Come on sidey, use your imagination:

Plan B

B: Boyd Weitering Cowan
HB Saad McGovern Hollands
C: Cottrell Cripps Walsh
HF: Motlop Silvagni Fogarty
F: Docherty Curnow Williams

F: DeKoning Hewett Cerra

I: Evans Acres Kemp Haynes

S: Young

If you want to go smaller and quicker then swap Curnow with Evans and Silvagni with Acres, Weitering with Kemp or Haynes.

Very flexible team

Williams has only been playing 65% Game Time.
If that's all he's got at top speed, Evans might sub him out to maintain the small forward pressure.

I’m polite as can be and have yet to be asked any political questions. My mother didn’t raise no fool.

I don't think that's correct sidey.

Holland was moved back there to give us more run out of defense.

It was obvious during praccy games and in the first 2 rounds he's the go to man moreso than Saad because Saad was playing a lockdown role. He'd run back to player with the free kick (from free or mark) and run behind that player for the gimme and he would just take off.

If Newman was back, he'd free up Saady and he's be the go to man for obvious reaso, and Hollands could easily slip back to the wing, and push out Cottrell back to HF.

After 2 rounds of footy, nothing should be off the table.
