uhhh i dunno ck. it's pretty hard to make any kind of argument for a mid to not to get dropped when they're leading the afl among mids in least metres gained. 367 metres gained over 3 games is so diabolical.

if he is playing and voss hasn't gotten into his face and personally challenged him this week to see what's left. nobody is doing their job.

i mean we could ask kylie minogue to step in, and she'd gain more than 37 metres this friday.

My gut sure as hell did over Christmas

He's in an old fashioned slump braithy, no doubt about it. It happens to good players & they have to work through it.

he's also at that stage when age starts doing it's thing... this could be it.

hopefully not, bcos when he's up and about, the team usually is too.

OUT: Dean, Chesser, O'Keeffe, Williams
IN: Newman, Derksen, Boyd, Cerra

Was Hewett ever a big metres gained guy? I've always seen him as an extractor who handballs more than he kicks and often handballs backwards to the outside kicker. Metres gained aren't the be all and end all, otherwise Gov and Acres would be TC heroes.

Lol Williams this week's mystery injury surprise

Had a feeling that update on Tuesday was dodgey

Gee Flynn Young is unlucky not to get a game in our forward line. I’m a bit worried about rushing Cerra in, would have fathered he had a game in the vfl first. Otherwise not bad changes.

There's a dad joke in this....

I'm happy with those ins. Might have considered retaining Chesser but Boyd is a natural replacement, and it's a shame to lose ZW's class. Happy to take a punt on Cerra, we desperately need more defensive awareness in midfield and he seems a bit of a Ledley King, for those who get the reference, a bloke you just play when he's fit, knowing you won't have him for long so don't waste his availability on training or reserves.

64 minutes wait for that CK.

That’s quite a pregnant pause for you.

Cerra hasn't played for ages & Boyd isn't far behind.

But not bad ins

How does Kemp retain his place?

It was one of the most insipid performances I’ve seen and that is no mean feat given our last 25 years.

Hopefully we're moving Kemp to defence and playing DDMJ as 2nd kpf/ruck.

So is it Derks back Young fwd 2nd ruck
Or is it Derks forward Harry 2nd ruck.

Or does Cripps play 2nd ruck.

The thought of Young Harry forward crashing packs doesn't fill me with confidence

Hewett is lucky to have kept his spot in the team. I think BenC is stiff not have replaced him.

Voss had he’s chance to make some tough calls but once again gone with the same midfield group
Norths midfield will be way to quick for us simply can’t play Cripps and Hewitt in the same side and then put Cera in as well makes us even slower 60plus points beating coming up
