When I picked my side, I didn't think Jack would get up. Rapt he has.

Can only be Durdin as far as I'm concerned. MC have been uncharacteristically smart this week. What goes on?

This week's line-up:
B: [17] Brodie Kemp, [23] Jacob Weitering, [2] Lachlan Cowan
HB: [39] Alex Cincotta, [11] Mitch McGovern, [24] Nic Newman
C: [4] Oliver Hollands, [9] Patrick Cripps, [13] Blake Acres
HF: [21] Jack Martin, [10] Harry McKay, [20] Elijah Hollands
F: [44] Matthew Owies, [30] Charlie Curnow, [12] Tom De Koning
R: [27] Marc Pittonet, [18] Sam Walsh, [7] Matthew Kennedy
Int: [37] Jordan Boyd, [5] Adam Cerra, [46] Matthew Cottrell, [29] George Hewett, [19] Corey Durdin

Em: [28] David Cuningham, [33] Lewis Young, [14] Orazio Fantasia

My thoughts:
[1] Ollie Hollands is very lucky to be there. Extremely lucky. I would have preferred Binns: he is getting 25 - 30 possessions each week.
[2] Cuningham is a little unlucky to be dropped, considering that it was his first game back. Also, his disposal and decision making was a step from what some of the others were doing.
[3] Young wasn't our worst last week, but what killed him was his lack of attack on the ball on the ground. In the air he wasn't that bad, but on the ground he let Collingwood players in a number of times because they wanted the ball more.
There has been a lot of comment about Young, some of it he deserves, some he does not. He has his strengths, and they are in the air. Also, he didn't turn the ball over that much. But his ground player cost us last week.
[4] Fantasia shouldn't get back into the team until he starts kicking goals, and not just one per game. He might be working hard defensively, but that's not why he is in the team. Getting less than 8 possessions and no goals just isn't something we can maintain.
[5] Our defence looks quite flexible, which isn't always the case. McGovern and Kemp are good 'ins', as they can attack as well as defend. Cincotta really did a job well last week, even though he didn't get a lot of ball. I'd like to see him confident enough to run off guys as well as shutting them down.
[6] Martin is a big 'in' as well. He can do things the other small forwards can't.

4 changes for the 2nd consecutive week I believe. A considerable adjustment is required, and didn’t quite work last week.

We'll need to be switched on and from the get go. We can't afford Dees getting a run of goals. Their strong defence will have our 2 big boys covered. So we'll need to get creative i50
