I don't think we get much of a choice in that.

Voss needs to be back in this week. Kicked 5.2 for Peel today and could’ve easily had more. Also brings the passion, he single-handedly started multiple biffs, elite shit-stirrer
Not sure why he was dropped in the first place. Can be inaccurate in front of goal but presents really well and finds the ball. Dare I say a better forward option then Jackson

They are different roles. We choose the roles.
I have thought about the possible changes a bit. I would bring Wagner into the 22 in Emmett’s role. I think Wagner has a background as a failed small forward, he has a lot of the traits to be a pressure forward, and it is hard to believe he would be less effective than Emmett. Tommy can go back to WAFL and get his hands on the ball. Freddie in for Sonny who can have a rest.
Play JT as the deepest forward and let Jye come up the ground.
That’s it for now.

Hmmmm not sure about this. History as a failed small forward doesn't bode well
The supposed strength of Wagner is the drive he gives us out of defense...playing small forward this takes away that weapon. Not sure he is that great at pressuring or kicking straight either
We already have an issue where some are not playing in their best position just so they are in the team..Wagner is not good enough for this reason
Everyone keeps talking about dewy balls and humidity etc. I thought it was a morning game in Alice Springs?

Yep. Unless it rains, humidity should be less than Perth. Whatever desert dew there is should be dry by mid-morning.
I doubt there’s ever any dew in Alice Springs. I suppose the nutcase will be there though
Freddy for Emmett
Sturt for Walters
Wagner for Draper
Walters to sub
Fyfe needs to be “managed” aswell but with only one game in nearly 3 weeks he should be fine
Come out of that and still look sluggish tho into second half season then well it should start being horses for courses for the champ , starting with Jonno moving inside and Ras/brodie geting a look in .

Last time I was in Alice in June I was wearing a jumper in the AM almost every day. (I was working in Broome at the time though so idea of cold was a little bit out of whack.)
I actually wouldn't be adverse to bringing Voss in as a chaos agent to put more physical pressure on May and Leaver even if it would leave us a little bit tall.

Doesn't it get really wet? Geelong were practicing with wet footballs thorughout the week.
More humid than dewy, I guess.
Lever is injured
Its not even June yet where I am and I am in thermal socks and a jumper most mornings
July is worse. I hate July. Give me 40+ temps any day over 1-2 and feels like minus 3
Geelong played GC in Darwin. Now, that’s a humid place yes
Yep gotta somehow work Voss back into the side, he definitely has potential.
100% agree at this stage Jye is better suited to half forward role and is a really good field kick, not physicaly ready yet to play as the key forward on Moore or May etc

Voss demanding selection makes things harder both figuratively and literally. Also I forgot about Sturt. So here is a fun hypothetical.
Out: Fyfe, Walters, Emmett and Draper.
In: Voss, Simpson, Frederick and Sturt.
Jackson to take Fyfe's role.
FB: Wagner Ryan Walker
HB: Clark Pearce Chapman
C: Sharp Young Banfield
HF: Sturt Treacy Frederick
FF: Amiss Voss Switkowski
R: Darcy Serong Brayshaw
I: Johnson Jackson Aish O'Meara
S: Simpson

I am so overjoyed that we get to go another MONTH until our next home game.
**** the VFL. Seriously.

I think the suggestion that Emmett out, JOM takes his position forward, Chappy goes up to a wing and Wagner takes a HBF makes more sense that dropping Draper. Also Chappy can drop back and help out with the defence. Then Freddy in and Sonny takes Wagners sub position

Good team, that's what I'd go as well! Even if you are a Bombers supporter
