Still have some talent missing from our best 22. Doc,Cripps,Kennedy & Jsos
Cripps and Doc are a lock for best 22 when fit, SOS and Kennedy aren't in that category, they are more on the fringes. Still good players in their own right but can't compare them to Cripps and Doc.

The rotations have been a big part of our improvement. Docherty has been really good in the middle, not sure about the clangers, he always has some and inside mids usually have more. Honestly, I think Docherty's best footy has been on the wing this season.

The stats aren't where our rotation mids bring value to the team. Cuningham and Fogarty go in there, they don't get much of it, they apply a bit of pressure but what they do is manage the other mid's workloads. They give our main mids a rest so they don't run out of gas and that's been a big part of the reason why we have been such a good finishing side after being such a poor finishing side.

Rotations are important for that reason. I was really critical of Voss for being a bit precious about who he allowed in the middle and not rotating enough. Then that all changed and then we turned around in a big way.

Would be good if our rotation mids had a bigger impact in there and list management wise, going forward this is an area we could look at but what they have brought is rotations and physical pressure which adds a fair bit to the side.

I'm interested in seeing how Dow goes with Cerra and Walsh in the side full time. That's a lot of run and break away speed around the stoppages. Form permitting that makes us really dangerous.

As for Docherty, he will come back either wing, back flank or middle, depending where the weaker option is.
Agree. I’m intrigued by the potential output of this combo.

I’m being really lazy, but I wonder how many games these three have played together? And without Cripps, I warrant not many. Will be keen to see the outcome.
 
Mongrel is an important factor certainly, but it's not the only one.
No point having the most mongrel at the contest if you get completely opened up after it.
Or if you can't hit a target etc.
I'd say Gov, Martin and Newy for example have a bit of mongrel. But Fog, Saad and maybe Cerra don't, but are just as tight and effective footballers,
Charlie is a big softy, but the best in the business at his job.
A couple of unsociable types are useful, but not essential.

JSOS now even closer to signing
JSOS has travelled half of the way to signing. But he must now travel half of the remaining distance and so on, until he arrives.

'Not yet. But he knocked back multiple offers that would have tested the most loyal. He wants to be a one club player. He's staying just a matter of when. Expect some noise during the bye week "

My previous source when linked this post.

Edit: I think this corroborates Red_man2008 more than it denies his post I should've added this to this post initially before offending. My sincere apologies.
JSOS is Carlton Royalty and has the best footy brain in the side. A true 'Jack of all trades' (pun intended) there isnt a position he can't play.
Would be a mortal sin not to re-sign him.
