Good thing we don't have any peters in the team.....

Too Many Passangers on this Team....They will probably run us over in the 2nd half like usual.

Replacing both H and K is going to be a difficult decision.
Does Voss bring in Pittonet, Young or Moir? What 2 of the 3 does he go with?
Does he just bring in one of Pitto or Young and go small forward or does he move SoS forward?

My personal opinion, Clarkson went taller last year in the second game and we played Kennedy at FB.
We don’t want similar as I’m sure Clarko will be as cage again.
I would bring in both Pitto and Young. Switch SoS and Young as needed as McGovern gives me no confidence playing on a big.

nah... keep silvagni at the back. he's building continuity there and looking good. the back 6 need to put games together.

i'd bring tdk as permanent forward/ ruck with charlie. and bring in a ruck. preferrably not pittonet, the other kid. but we all know michael loves him some pittonet, so...

If you're brave enough to watch the Blues in person and happy enough to lower yourself (like me) to becoming a Roos 3-game member, you can grab yourself a reserved seat (level 3) to the Good Friday game for a paltry $9 :eek:

JSOS to play forward and the relief ruck role.
Not keen on either Pittonet or Young.

So, who takes Nick Larkey or Jack Darling when SOS is in the ruck?
These two KPFs are too big for Gov and maybe too big for Haynes.
Hopefully Haynes experience can overcome the challenge in the one on ones
Weiters has to take Larkey; he's a beast.

SOS vs Xerri in the ruck? OK, can happen. I've seen worse.

Sometimes the contest is just not a fair one.
They wouldn't allow this in boxing.
Good luck SOS,

Lemmey and option instead of Young but better to let him continue form in the VFL

Pitto not on the injury list.

Pitto is backup for TDK if he gets injured, he’s not a second ruck. Young is a better option as second ruck.

No McKay, I'd assume Voss will go with Pitto.
Not sure who I like better TBH, both have their positives and negatives.

Xerri is a brute, throw Pitto into the lions' den

Common sense. That's my call too.

Having said that, I was more confident in Pitto in the ruck last year than this year, after I saw O'Keefe beat Pitto in the ruck in the preseason.
I just hope Pitto is fresh and fit to play well, or Young it is.

2 rucks.

North actually hit the front against Sun's in the 3rd quarter then conceded 10 goals to 2

Would like to see Pitto come in as TDK was struggling today. Play Tom in Harry role

Seeing a player getting hurt like Kemp is never good but to be brutally honest he was putrid up until then. His last 2 games it is hard to believe he kicked 5 a few weeks back

Do we play Cripps 70% forward as Hewett seems to be holding his own

Fogarty is very lucky we don't have a decent small forward to replace him

Agree with Pitto
Agree with TDK
Agree with kemp (hes a HF or winger imo)
Hewett is in rare form. He just doesnt get beaten. AA form TBH.
Cripps rotating forward 50/50. Keep the oppo guessing and create mismatches.

We don't need 5 small forwards (don't like both Fog and Motflop in the same team)
I really liked Williams in the midfield group. Gave us a good mix with Hewett and Cerra in there.
If Elijah is fit, bring him in for Fog or Motlop.

North very strong on ball and may add Wardlaw next week as well.

LDU Powell Sheezel Parker Simpkin and the thug Xerri.

Will need Cripps in the middle.

Yep

Keep the backline playing together.

Bring in a ruck for ruck's sake vs Xerri, or a ruck who has the strength to match?

I'm guessing you want 20yo O'Keefe in to debut against Xerri?
You reckon that's a fair contest, just because your heavy bias against Pitto?
Cut your nose to spite your face?

Regardless of playing forward or not, TDK needs a decent chop out of he is going to give us value in the ruck.
TDK is playing like a $600K ruck losing against the bigger rucks thus far this year (Nankervis, Meek, English, Cameron), and now its Xerri time. I don't think O'Keefe is ready for this kind of baptism.

Its either Pitto vs Xerri or Young vs Xerri. Take your pick.

A great option

Especially now the door is open.

Gov wont play like he did 2 games in a row.
His fearless, reckless approach to the ball yesterday was in response to players saying it to him as it is: Gov has been avoiding contact and preserving his body. ie bruise free footy.

As long as Weiters and SOS take Larkey and Darling, then Haynes can take Zurhaar.

They dont have small forwards other than Konstanty but play medium forwards Sheezel, Stephens, Curtis and Parker.
