[The Old Dark Navy's]

I don't necesssarily agree with the changes. Weitering and Marchbank have had no football at all. I wanted Weitering back, but Marchbank isn't significantly better than Kemp in order to come back in with no footy behind him.

Cuningham's injury may have saved him being dropped. I had him as sub in my team.

Really starting to wonder what is happening with Motlop now. A toe injury isn't it, or is it? His absence saves Durdin or Fantasia, one of whom would have surely made way.

I'm not feeling great about Durdin to be honest. I like his speed, but he just does not do enough. 2 disposals, and 2 pressure acts in that tight last quarter against Richmond ... just doesn't cut it. He was fresh. He should have had an impact. I realise that a lot of posters like him and see him as being important, but we have depth now and players need to produce. If the sub call comes down to Durdin or Fantasia, I'd pick Durdin. Fantasia can at least link up from the midfield to the forward 50.

I knew Elijah would come in. The club loved him in the practice games. Missing two games suspended doesn't require VFL games. You'd rather that than missing two games injured. Now, I just hope Ollie and Elijah continue to play the percentages and don't go looking for each other.

I’m a bit surprised that Hollands is straight in. It’s pleasing that he must have put in the work over the off season.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Um...

View attachment 1942043

They know he was robbed 3 times so fixed it themselves

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Following the Club’s main training session on Wednesday, both Cuningham (calf) and Jesse Motlop (hamstring) were ruled out of selection. Kemp and Young have both been omitted.

Seems Motlop has injured his hammy at training

I no longer trust injury reports. I've been ruined.

 

[Soapy V]

I’m excited by Elijah Hollands but he is 21, had an ACL and has only played 14 AFL games.

IMO he will become a gun mid but I’ll be happy tomorrow if he just does his job. Kid needs some time and a experience

Surprised you lasted this long tbh - our injury reports have notoriously been unreliable

 

[Zlatan]

Voss had some glowing words for him re: his preseason so was little doubt he would be straight into the team. Fills a very valuable hole in that half forward / midfield hybrid type.

Don’t have a big issue with Kemp getting dropped; his brain fades last week were poor. He’ll get other opportunities throughout the year.

On any topic, I trust until I've been given reason not to trust.

Smoke and mirrors.

Smoke and mirrors.

Literally ...

Which one was smoking, and which one used the mirror?

 

[Benaly28]

Interesting with them No change.

Obviously none of their players are on the gear…

 

[Accidental genius]

Nice easy game to debut EHollands and Marchy.

 

[Opium]

It’s an interesting call dropping Kemp and bringing in Marchbank straight away without a game

We are 2-0, Kemp has been solid and Marchbank is coming back from an illness and hasn’t played any games

Shows how much Voss rates Marchbank

Clearly worried about Nths height with two ruckman plus Larkey. I feel Young should've been rewarded for his performances so far. Selection integrity in question by bringing in a player with zero match fitness is bewildering.

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Imo we will miss cuners zip and speed/pressure in our forward half.
I think we will need to keep fantasia in the team now(not sub) as he has that speed in and around the forward half.
Will need to keep a close eye on the forward mix and make sure that’s right more than not.

I would have kept Cuners in the team if fit but I think Hollands essentially replaces his role anyway. Sub is an interesting one - expect them to probably go Durdin again but I'm not confident whatsoever if thats what they'll end up doing

 

[windows1]

I don’t get you (often) Jim. You’re writing (totally) as if Kemp is a star and Boyd is a horrendous selection (instead of Kemp). Whether you like it or not there ARE arguments for Boyd over Kemp. There are arguments for Kemp over Boyd. I would argue Kemp shows zero aptitude for being able to launch by foot from the backline. There’s nothing to work with there with his kicking. He IS a good intercept mark but I think that’s often a raffle/gamble that I wouldn’t like him taking.

My point is I’m not sure anyone can really be justified being passionate in favour of Kemp over anyone. Make an argument sure. Be incredulous? Really?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Motlop has an injured hammy.

Yes, I saw that after. Late training injury. Eek.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Isn't Cottrell out for a month?

No, he’s been named DL

I think he came back similarly last year and did ok.

PS I have a new look. Get used to it

 

[Kernafides]

Kemp praised for our improvement with defensive transition (acknowledge brain fades) but dropped for a guy who is an interceptor only, poor ball user and has zero games in him...guess time will tell but this seems risky. Weiters no brainer

 

[windows1]

Think Marchy showed in the Brisbane final why they want him in. In that form I love him.

 

[Accidental genius]

Motlop has an injured hammy.

How’d he do that with an injured toe
