Anyone interested in Walsh playing loose across half back as the 7th defender this week?

No.

Wouldn't effect us as much, we could (probably will), switch Young into the ruck

Or Jsos. Think he rucked most of the night against Marshall 2 years ago in a win. Comprehensively beaten in hitouts but clearly one of our best players and we won the clearances easily..

nuff of this negativity.

apply some old school hussle and bussle tagging on Steele or Crouch. show some creativity and take some risks.

I'd almost rather Pittonet in that role tbh

 

[Jeremias]

I actually do not care what position they’re competing for … honey offers zero and kemp deserves a chance … when you have our mounting injuries this like for like crap goes out the door imo

Ok, but whether you care or not isn’t really the issue.

It’s pretty clear they play different positions and aren’t competing for the same spot in the side.

You may not like it, but I can’t help that.

Cordy probably

 

[blue healer]

I'm a person (supposedly). So the answer is yes. Pretty good sports rap at 5.45 p.m. with Steve Quartermain.

Still recuperating from Lisfranc surgery so at least I've got an excuse.

Geez, didn't even know Steve Quartermain was still a thing.

 

[morningbrown]

Pitto taking more of the ruck workload is much preferred, TDK has still shown nothing that proves he's a number 1 ruck

Wasn't Teague hung for that?

I disagree. He showed plenty last year in Pittonet’s absence. He’s also been quite good this year except for last week.

The issue is he doesn’t do enough when not in the ruck.

Pittonet doesn’t either, but against a man mountain in Marshall the choice is an obvious one IMO.

 

[Red_man2008]

All the media hype around TDK being worth $800k was so over the top.

Honestly he's nowhere near that level and isn't even our no.1 ruck.

Looking forward to see if we have more run this week with a smaller setup without TDK.

He’s following a similar trajectory to Tim English imho. It was year 5 when he started dominating. I recall in year 4 he got belted by Gawn and Grundy in separate games. I think in 2024 he will be one of the better ruck in the comp. You can already see his presence in the stoppage improving. He’s way more confident in his ability to compete, push out and out work his man.
Tim on the left Tom on the right at the same age. With 11% more time on ground the glaring difference which puts TDK well in front or on level terms in most ruck stats apart from contested marks.

Maybe Zaine Cordy. Named on the bench but hardly a scary prospect.

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Kemp doesn't have the tank to play on a wing

Kemp is the black hole of CFC - we think he could be awesome & powerful - yet we have no idea what he’s really made of.

 

[Blue Reaper]

I understand the intent and strategy of keeping Honey in, but would prefer Kemp in and LOB sub from the emergencies. Honey just hasn’t had a good enough recent body of work.

Actually, should’ve been Dow for Honey!

Last year when we were at our best Pitto was instrumental.

People watch 10 news?!

Eyewitness News…

 

[CFC_#17]

Well I got the De Koning part right, just wish we went with a genuine 7th defender and not Honey.

Honeys not the issue is playing Hewett, Ed Curnow, Cripps and Kennedy in the same team

 

[Juddernaut08]

Does Cerra play Hbf, with Cow 7th defender? I guess better than Kennedy back there

thought they put blacres

Strengthening the VFL side?

Dow and Kemp in the same boat .... rowing without a paddle.

 

[passmark]

I can’t stop thinking we’ve got them covered for some strange reason.
Gov and Cincotta are making me ludicrously confident.

 

[Blue Reaper]

Hoping Cincotta makes a statement.

 

[Thrawn]

Like the finger with the "A" on it?
