Voting is as usual: you have 15 votes to award pretty much as you will, with the following provisos: [1] 15 votes in total, no more, no less. [2] No more than 10 votes for any one player (even Sam Walsh or Patrick Cripps) [3] Three players at least must get a mention. [4] A grade for the game, A+ (what I want to see) to F-.
B: [6] Zac Williams, [33] Lewis Young, [2] Lachlan Cowan HB: [39] Alex Cincotta, [23] Jacob Weitering, [24] Nic Newman C: [28] David Cuningham, [9] Patrick Cripps, [13] Blake Acres HF: [46] Matthew Cottrell, [10] Harry McKay, [20] Elijah Hollands F: [44] Matthew Owies, [30] Charlie Curnow, [12] Tom De Koning R: [27] Marc Pittonet, [18] Sam Walsh, [29] George Hewett Int: [37] Jordan Boyd, [7] Matthew Kennedy, [14] Orazio Fantasia, [19] Corey Durdin, [5] Adam Cerra
Em: [17] Brodie Kemp, [4] Oliver Hollands, [16] Jack Carroll
Considering our injury problems, this isn't bad line-up. It is a pity that a number of our players are not in great touch.
[1] I was a bit surprised by Kemp's demotion, but he didn't have a good one last week. He has been very up and down this year.
[2] Orazio is very lucky. I hope he can produce this week, as he's only kicked 1 goal for us as yet.
[3] I can understand why Ollie Hollands and Jack Carroll come out. Cerra is a better option. Ollie's form hasn't been great for all the work he has been doing. With a little luck, he might pick up some form. Jack Carroll I'm yet to be convinced about. But a good 20 - 30 possessions game in the 2's will help him no end.
[4] Mattie Owies is a little lucky to remain. He has made some terrible errors in the last few weeks. Corey Durdin is probably ever luckier. I was surprised to see us give him an extra 2 years. Both guys need to produce this week.
[5] Young I hope he can have a good one. Cox isn't the best forward if you body him. Give him the run at the ball, and he can be a real pain in the posterior.
We play Werribee, who are presently 9th, at Weribee this Saturday at 14:05. We should have a few more listed players for thus game, especially as the emergencies will be able to play. Last week we lost Binns, Sam Durdin and Cincotta, which was almost all of the experience we had.
Some of our guys need to respond after last week.
Mirkov is really struggling at the moment: not getting his hand on the ball, not getting to contests, etc. You can tell he missed a year of football. A real disappointment, and I'm not sure we'll give him another year.
I'd be tempted to play Zac Williams on a wing, rather than Ollie Hollands. Ollie is struggling and needs to time in the VFL to regain form and confidence. Cincotta can play tight, he can even play midfield, which I didn't expect to see. he has real depth on his kicks as well.
Our line-up: B: Lachie Young Sam Durdin Harry Lemmey HB: Billy Wilson Dom Akuei Michael Lewis C: Alex Cincotta Jaxon Binns Tom Phillips HF: Ned Cahill Bob Monahan Ashton Moir F: Liam McMahon Luke Nelson Alex Mirkov R: Hudson O'Keefe Heath Ramshaw Zavier Maher Int: L. Prout W. White B. Kuipers A. Stevens B. Lambert
Em: D. Hogg K. Ferranato J. Gedi H. Gill C, Verrell T. Sruk F. Riley J. Brereton
Disappointed to see Jess Gedi out; he was good last week.
