No Boyd is interesting.

I think they really want to work Cerra into form for finals and they’re hoping it can be done off half back.

I really don't like Cerra at HB

 

[Blue Reaper]

Same.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

I really don't like Cerra at HB

Reckon we'll actually stick with that line up?

Cottrell on the Acres wing worries me... he hasn't been in form and while he was better against North, still not up to scratch imo.

Should put Cerra there.

To be fair i don't really like him in midfield in his current form. Unfortunately i think he is one of the undroppables so he wont be sent back to the VFL to build form. He is a shadow of the player he was last year

We never do. Side will look very different once we line up

He doesn't have the stamina to be running up and down the wing all game. I don't think I've seen him ever run down a player. Id be worried he wont be accountable on transition

I'd put Cerra back in the middle/HF and Walsh on a wing

Yep. Didn't light the world on fire at half back but far better than he's been in the midfield.

Thought he showed good signs in the second half. He's a good kick and changes angles well.

Then put Cerra in the middle and stick Walsh on the wing. Cottrell gets lost...

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I'm curious as to why Marchbank was named for Kemp last week, and was a late out with an illness, but isn't in instead of Kemp for tomorrow night. Still sick, or was that one game from Kemp enough to show the consistency that Voss wanted to see? I'm not complaining mind you.

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

Strong chance seems a stretch.

Still don't think the MC would want to risk Walsh in this game. But if he plays, then I trust that they have made the right call.

Still ill

Cerra is not fast enough to play on a wing, especially under the roof at Marvel. Would get smashed on the rebound.

 

[WyntersGame_]

Im not opposed to that thinking but i think the MC & Voss see Walsh as a pure midfield and not a winger so i doubt it will ever happen.

Im a fan of Cottrell but i do think he needs to go back to the VFL. I know Binns is the Dow of this year, but i wouldnt have minded him coming in for a full game to see how he went. Hes a winger so at the least you know he will be accountable.

I havent watched much VFL so thats purely based on statistics and he may be way off

I think it was mentioned earlier with the people that had pulled up sore, that Marchbank still wasn't 100%

 

[Arr0w]

Reckon we'll continue to see Cerra back there until he regains some form and confidence. Had some suspect moments but he'll be better for the run.

Managing his workload after a number of hammys

 

[bradfisher14]

Love the changes. Would’ve like to see Boyd and Martin back but also happy for them to rediscover their best in the VFL before coming back in next week.

Bizarre selections recently. Having said that we have some good inclusions considering the outs.

 

[reg_lower91]

Boyd as the emergency... Surely he hasn't been left out if he's fit?

Really bizarre. I trust the MC so something larger must be at play (intentional management of minutes heading in to finals or perhaps something forced like a large number of niggles/ injuries)

Yeah same, I like Cottrell, he's come a long way... but he's not in form and he's not the type that is walk up starting 22. When he builds form, no doubt we slot him in, but when he's struggling to find it especially after a lengthy spell, he's a liability out there.

Binns still needs to develop, not AFL ready despite showing good form at VFL level, he will not be afforded the time and space and physically he will be brushed aside. Already got one winger that happens to, can't put 2 out there.

I have no doubt if persisted with he would quickly find his best form. Too good a player not to. IMO moving him aroudn hasn't help him at all. He is mid, pure and simple

Is Binns any less ready than Hollands was?

I have some doubts on Binns but Voss spoke about rewarding good form in the VFL, then Acres is out. I thought it was perfect opportunity for him

He has earned it more than some others IMO

Would be surprised if he DOESNT play.

He was one I was told was 50/50 so who knows?
