6 Changes :-

 

[DangerousD]

It’s obviously not going to happen but now that Harry and TDK are named in field, I’d much rather have dropped Young and played Cincotta or Lord

 

[Dramoth]

Kemp should have been named on the half forward line. Williams to start off the bench. Why we’re playing Cerra this week is beyond me. Bring in Cinc and sit him on Neale.

I know Cerra is a calculated risk in the hope that his hammy’s are ok, but it’s not a risk I’d be taking this week. If his hammy goes in the first quarter, we’re ****ed.

 

[carlton_99]

Right or Wrong Voss is very much about picking the tried and true. He always backs in his core group and rarely plays kids

The only reason Lord Moir Binns have played is because of a massive injury list

Only time will tell if i's the right decision or not

To be fair he played Hollands/Cowan pretty consistently in their first seasons and they are now established best 22 players

 

[Aphrodite]

Them …

 

[Soapy V]

Cincotta out makes no sense at all

He’s one of those players that has had to play certain roles and not in his best position. I think he has been treated poorly

 

[Dadda Dave]

Suspect there will be some vigorous fitness tests Saturday morning, Cerra especially

TDK too.

 

[jj1978]

Still no faith in some of our kids. Cerra no way in hell over Lord at least over recent output.

 

[Benaly28]

We thought when Plowman left we wouldn’t have a whipping boy anymore,guess we were wrong.

We need to back our players in.

[Koutz]

Lord has played 8 quarters of AFL ever. He also didn’t have a pre season and only became a professional a couple of months ago.

If Cerra is fit, he comes straight in

Marlon pickett played his first game in a grand final and we know how that worked out....

Lord should be playing!

 

[Accidental genius]

Is it 2 rucks or has TDK been picked to play forward with Charlie out?

Yeah …playing forward more so perhaps

 

[Soapy V]

To be fair he played Hollands/Cowan pretty consistently in their first seasons and they are now established best 22 players

Hollands because he had no other wings and Cowan played 7 games

Personally I believe our treatment and development of our younger players has been poor

 

[BigFrizz36]

Surprised Cincotta came out.
Thought he'd have gone to Neale.

Reckon we're just not going to tag him? If we do, who goes to him?
Doch? Not enough fitness for it
Kennedy? Too slow?
Hewett? Cowan maybe?

Hewett generally. Belted him and was considered lucky not to be suspended last time

Fagan was on the news tonight asking the umpires to protect Neale.

 

[Kruezing]

Geez Motlop is very lucky leaving out players like Cincotta who are great at applying pressure and leaving a guy in who’s been doing the opposite worries me going into a final …

 

[Monty1978]

A balanced free kick ledger is irrelevant to fair umpiring.

I agree but I feel umpires are human and when they see they have paid saints 15 frees and we have 2 they sway the other way … I was not suprised we had 8 in the last quarter , let’s agree to disagree .. you feel there isn’t any bias and they are fantastic ..I feel there is an element of bias in certain situations

 

[Accidental genius]

Corey Durdin

 

[jj1978]

cerra for lord, whatta joke

Crazy Vossy/MC not trusting some of the kids who did the hard work and proved themselves. Cerra's played a handful of poor games this season... a stupid selection because of his name this kind of s### destroys culture sometimes (like dropping a very in form Hewitt).

 

[Red_man2008]

Tom Morris tweeted earlier that Charlie flew to Brisbane at lunchtime separately from his Team mates.

Rest of the Team took a later flight apparently.

Charlie getting straight to rehab to fly to Sydney next week for semi.

 

[Accidental genius]

Cinc will be missed

 

[Arr0w]

To be fair he played Hollands/Cowan pretty consistently in their first seasons and they are now established best 22 players

 

[Opium]

He’s one of those players that has had to play certain roles and not in his best position. I think he has been treated poorly

He needed to be named and play a negating role on Zorko or Wilmot and also hit the scoreboard. Motlop doesn't defend at all.

 

[DangerousD]

Right or Wrong Voss is very much about picking the tried and true. He always backs in his core group and rarely plays kids

The only reason Lord Moir Binns have played is because of a massive injury list

Only time will tell if i's the right decision or not

Isn’t this the behaviour that brought about his downfall at Brisbane and what people have been calling out all year?

Constantly picking the same players regardless of injury, form or fitness all year is why we are where we are.

It just doesn’t seem like Voss adapts or learns from his mistakes.

 

[jj1978]

Biggest joke outside of Cerra being named (even TDK somewhat) is Motlop, Fantasia and a pop the shoulder 100% for sure Durdin have all been named. Silliest thing I've seen.

 

[Neese]

Don't understand Cincotta being dropped.

 

[No1Suspect]

Match committee on the sauce again this week.

 

[WyntersGame_]

To be fair he played Hollands/Cowan pretty consistently in their first seasons and they are now established best 22 players

Based on need not because he was was giving kids the opportunity.

We were always a winger short because he wanted Docherty in the midfield and that's is the same reason we were a back short too.

Cowan played 7 games and was dropped when senior players were available.
