Our line-up:

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.

Ollie a bit stiff IMO.

Still puts in every week even if the results are not as good as they could be......which is more than what some others do.....inluding one of the ins at least.

I don’t think you can fault Ollie’s effort but I suspect that he might benefit from freshening up in the Magoos.  Same with Kemp and Carroll; the three of them should light it up against Werribee.

Dropping Kemp makes no sense....Don't mind  Cunningham especially if he plays forward given our small forwards have been a non event and need to provide more support to our big key forwards.
I would have liked Kemp in as an option for Mihocek who is a different FF to most and requires a mobile defender.
Feels like another late change week?

Ollie has not been playing well and probably needs a refresh so OK with that one.
Carroll pretty much the same and Binns was always going to be the first to make way. The new Paddy Dow?
Kemp I thought would still be there purely because he can play on a tall, but he has been stuffing up all year so maybe it's a wake-up call.
Can't work out how Cunners goes straight in. Was not setting the world on fire and pretty sure he got dropped before getting injured?
Cerra back is one. We just need about 3 more.

Pleasantly surprised. Excellent changes. Not our usual conservative approach. We want our players to be bold, good to see MC doing likewise... a good message to some that you have to earn games with consistent form.

Ollie needed to return to the Magoos and regain touch... perhaps, also, try him in different roles.
Young is fortunate Rottingwood has Cox.

Carroll and Binns need Magoo time. Cerra and Cunners, good upgrades. Bring your defensive effort, Cunners... not a cameo.

Kemp is a little unfortunate but, if we're honest, his form has been patchy. Ticker? Great, but needs to work on consistency and decision making. Cincotta excellent replacement.

Fantasia or Durdin to be the sub, I would guess.

Upside for us with those dropped - a better looking Magoos!
