We have 34 fit players to choose from.
However:
Ramsay: 0 games
Durdin: 0 games, just back from injury
Boyd: 0 games, just joined the club
Gibbons - coming back from a hammy.
Kemp: 0 games
Carroll: 0 games
That leaves 28 players.
Cottrell has only *just* been dropped to find form.
Murphy the same.
Do they need at least 2 games in the VFL to press their case?
Martin has been in bad form since he returned, and is due to be dropped.
That leaves 25 players to choose from.
Picking 6 defenders, 6 forwards, 2 rucks and 8 mids:
Williams - Jones - Docherty
Newman - Weitering - Saad
Fisher - Kennedy - SPS
Fogarty - McKay - Honey
Owies - Silvagni - Betts
De Koning - Walsh - Cripps
Pittonet - Stocker - Dow - E. Curnow
Sub from: O'Brien - Williamson - Newnes
I came to the same conclusion.
I'd consider Murphy as the 23rd to get his 5 games needed for 300, out of the way.
As mentioned earlier, we have an excuse to select him after his good game in the Ressies
Lineup would not work. Players back in their natural positions and the MC would never think of it.
A rewarded player in Honey.
We have plenty of supposed small forwards. Fisher is meant to be a mid so let him play on a wing. SPS finally gets his chance further forward. Stocker on ball, who would have thought of that. Docherty our defence captain back in a severely leaking defence, who would have thought of that.
And Murphy, as the sub quietly sneaking creeping to his 300.
Someone send an email to the MC.
