If Cripps plays I'd like to see him at CHF but my preference is to rest him or at minimum keep him out of the centre.
I'd also like to see Kemp in for Stocker in the backline and Stocker moved onto the ball.
Drop Williamson for Williams and possibly Newnes/Casboult if Crippa is going to play.
It's not a game we are likely to win but it would be good to see Kemp and Stocker played in the above roles, let's see what they've got.
Yeah, nah.
If Cripps plays it has to be as an inside mid who pushes forward when the opportunity presents itself.
I wouldn’t be moving Stocker around while he is settled and performing. He may eventually become a midfielder, but leave him where he is for now.
Time is on Kemp’s side, I see no reason to rush him in. I’d like him to build some consistency before he’s promoted.
If Cripps doesn’t play, I would give E Curnow more time inside working alongside Dow & Kennedy. Williams to HB.
Out - Cripps (inj), Cottrell
In - Williams, Setterfield
Sub - Williamson.
Fisher to come back via the VFL. I feel like he’s missed a lot of footy this year.
The problem is Cripps is pretty ineffective in the middle at the moment, opposition clubs are just letting him run and are tagging Walsh for a reason. Something is wrong we are not privy to.
Stocker is already playing a semi tagging role down back, testing him in the guts would be a good litmus test before end of season to see if he could move there permanently.
Kemp has put some good games together in the VFL as far as I've seen. It might well be rushing him in but then again it might be better for him to have a run and get a feel for what's required in the next level.
I see Stocker as Curnow's replacement, hard footballer that doesn't mind a bit of a hit.
I agree on Fisher, he needs to get some form back.
It's all pointless anyway as I can't see our coach having the balls to mix it up a little and see what's what.
No surprises on selection this week, as per usual.
