Voss has been trying to unpick the 7/8/7 “rule” since he started in this role.
He’s been trying 7/9/6 and last week I reckon we were very close to 6/10/6 (mids: Cripps, Docherty, Walsh, Kennedy, Hewett, Acres, Hollands, Cottrell, Cerra, Pittonet)
This all due to preferring a highly contested style in the midfield and results in guys who are best in the midfield ending up playing the majority of game time either at half forward or half back.
It’s why - in my view - Docherty should play permanent half back and we need to find a more effective half forward from that group or drop one of our mids.
Would love to see Kennedy play 50/50 HF/Mid. Think he would be great in that role - very nice hands on the lead and a great set shot

If Ed plays I can only assume it is to tag De Goey, Daicos has been getting heaps of ball but its De Goey that has been hurting most, Hewett was supposed to come in and be our defensive mid, he hasn't been effective this year as a pure mid so we should have him go back to basics with a stopping role, then Ed becomes surplus to requirements.
Apparently de goey scores poorly when daicos is tagged compared to the opposite.

plus Ed(sub) = 11
 
E. Curnow out - Fisher In
Cincotta as the sub.

If those moves happened the team balance would look right. Team looks good on paper. Cerra, Walsh on ball. Running power on the wings with Acres, Holland, Cottrell. Dash and foot skills with Boyd. Just like a little more X factor up forward through a third small/flank.
