My team vs Port:
B: Rama Michael NLM
HB: Nash Ryder Dempsey
C: Lovett Watson Houli
HF: Winderlich McPhee Welsh
FF: Daniher Lloyd Monfries
R: Hille Watson Stanton
INT: Myers, Laycock, Dyson, Reimers
In: Myers, Dempsey, Daniher
Out: Slattery, Johns, Fletcher (Inj), Pears
Analysis:
If Dempsey is available then I would have no hesitation picking him for this game given that Bendigo are not playing this week. I'm very worried about Port's small forwards, I think they're really going to cause us a lot of grief if we're not accountable. The Johns decision is 'iffy' and was only dropped due to Port not having many tall forwards, in saying that if Mal was dropped to see how Johns would go as FB I wouldn't complain (no slur on big Mal). Further, Daniher to me is an obvious inclusion due to his solid 3 weeks at Bendigo kicking 3, 3 and 4 goals - IMO we need another marking option and Laycock isn't doing enough. Whilst by his standards Myers had a bad game against Sandy, he had a good two weeks prior and had it not been for the 5 day break would've been close to selection on Anzac Day.
Wrap-up:
Still no where near the team we should have on the park but we have to make do, there could be countless arguments to drop numerous players this week so it will be really interesting to see who does get omitted. The one structural change I have gone with is Winderlich to half-forward with the view to substitute Davey's pace in the F50 and the fact that Winderlich as a defender is not working as well as he would hope.
Edit:
Forgot about Pears, I've got 22 players so I'm a bit confused there???
