IMO Kennedy needs to play the whole game. Attack from the start with a packed and quick midfield. Maybe Young as the sub? He could have the impact later in the game going long into the forwards if needed.

Young isn't senior standard anymore. His days were over in 2012.

I am not worried about their tall fwds given we have frost keeffe tooves and sack. I am worried about our lack of inside mids so can only guess blair and bk will get more time in the middle to help pendles n beames. Very disappointed if bk is sub, I would pick any of dwyer, young n armstrong for sub before bk. Anyone know who is the travelling emerg? I assume thomas or langdon.
This.
As long as players look around them and anticipate a tackle coming, then the likes of Young etc are what we need on a big ground like Subi.

Just when you think we are headed in the right direction re selections we bring Young back in.
Lets watch his "elite kicking" at it's best on Sunday arvo.
Good to see Ben Kennedy back in but everyone knows he'll be sub.

I think Caff to Shuey and Beams head to head with Priddis as the 2 genuine inside mids. Sidebottom to take Gaff on and expose him the other way. I think Hutchings will try to tag Pendles. We win enough clearances and contested ball players like Gaff won't influence the outcome.
Am I the only one happy with Young's inclusion?
No. Not sure what people expect. He got dropped, went back and played a blinder. It makes sense. The more run the better on a ground like Patersons. Kennedy will play midfield anyway.

We'll see I'll personally go with Kennedy or Dwyer as the sub and Blair to get the increased inside minutes. I basically have no faith in the coaching staff to pull the right reign ATM.

Lol at everyone talking shit like Young hasn't played a good game this season.
I'm not his biggest fan by any stretch, but would love to see him play a blinder and watch half this board's population of keyboard experts go silent.

Pretty good selections.
Blair can play an inside mid role.

Who in their right mind ever said that Young had "elite kicking?" That's never been the case.
I would suggest the ones who said he was an "elite kick" had never seen him play before coming to Collingwood and just came to that conclusion themselves. I would further suggest that those people are the very same ones squealing about being sold a lemon right now.
And anyway, were you so sarcastic when Young cracked 100% DE for us this year? Armstrong cracks 100% in 1 game and everyone starts celebrating him as the Second Coming...
West Coast going in with 3 rucks.
Looks like they are going to try and stretch our defence.

Would rather see Kyle Martin get a proper crack at it.
Strongest team we've had out there this season. Injuries are now not any sort of an excuse now.
Call me old fashioned but the two boys that played really well in 'reserves' got rewarded, good selection policy.
Martin was a little stiff not to get another opportunity, would have liked him play as the sub first game then a full game not the other way around.
I do not subscribe to the theory that Kennedy is unfit seems to be racking up possessions at Will against good opposition in the VFL. Would like to see him get a full game.
Young the sub for me.

I subscribe to the line of thought that sees Blair playing as an inside mid. He is more suited to this role than playing up forward. If Ball is not ready to play, Blair is a better prospect in the middle than Thomas at this point in time.

The boys flew out late this arvo (posting pics on social media) so they'd be in Perth by now.
Apparently no training sessions in Perth, at least public ones, maybe we are taking this trip seriously for once.

And Armstrong is on that team
So Ball didn't make the team due to a fresh injury at training according to Chanel 7 tonight after the game...good one!
