Surely O'Keffe can't be an emergency.  Three rucks ? what drugs are the MC on?

Being named an emergency is a bit like a 'participation certificate'. :D
It's a reward for effort and it sends the message that "you're not too far away"
If we have to make a late change it's a pretty fair bet it won't be O'Keefe coming in....most likely it will be Cincotta, if he's fit.

Our line-up:

Backs:  Lachie Cowan  Jacob Weitering  Brodie Kemp
Half-backs:  Zac Williams  Lewis Young  Nic Newman
Centreline:  Ollie Hollands  Patrick Cripps  Blake Acres
Half-forwards:  Matthew Cottrell  Tom De Koning  Elijah Hollands
Forwards:  Charlie Curnow  Harry McKay  Matthew Owies
Followers:  Marc Pittonet  Sam Walsh  George Hewett
Interchange:  Jordan Boyd  Jack Carroll  Corey Durdin  Orazio Fantasia  Matthew Kennedy

Emergencies:  Jaxon Binns  Alex Cincotta  Hudson O'Keeffe

In: Lachie Cowan, Lewis Young
Out: Adam Saad (hamstring), Mitch McGovern (hamstring)

[1] I can live with 2 rucks. Tom struggled against Briggs last year. Pitto shouldn't.
[2] How did Cincotta miss out? He has to add more than Fantasia and Corey Durdin. And he has shown he can play in the middle: I'd be trying something different there.
[3] Our midfield has been smashed this year. Can we change it somehow?
[4] Ollie Hollands?

I looks at this side and I am uninspired. I guess Cowan is playing well enough, but Cincotta was excellent in his only showing.
