Nice to see Carroll named, although he may not play. We wouldn't have named so many Emergencies is someone wasn't going to come out.
I guess Lemmey must be questionable as well.
Marchbank: an interesting question. I'd love him to play as he gives our defence some experience that we really lack. But, can he get onto the park?
I'm very happy to see Motlop and Corey Durdin named. That should improve our goalkicking. And both of them need a good game or three.
Our defence looks top-heavy, but I guess we have to play these guys. I'd be tempted to play Dom Akuei forward, especially if there isn't a decent matchup for him. He can take a mark, even if he couldn't out-body me.

Suffice to say, I have no idea what tasks / roles the coaches assign to Orazio, so I have no idea whether he's meeting his KPI's etc. I can only speculate based on what I see and hear, limited as that is. Even if he is Motlop's understudy, he could still be doing everything the coaches ask. I have no way of knowing, and I'd be wary of becoming like one of the characters in Plato's Allegory Of The Cave.

The alternatives are many, but include Motlop......who kicked 4 goals against this mob as a late in last year. Kickd 2 goals or more 10 times last year as well....as a 19yo.

Meanwhile, this (soon to be) 29yo has kicked 2 goals in 10 games.....total

Still having trouble understand the hostility?

Vossy reckons that Raz is performing the roles he's been set so, no, I don't understand the hostility, particularly since Motlop has only played in one VFL game where he didn't do much.

I'd prefer to see Motlop in the 23, but only if he's burning it up in the VFL.

So seemingly by your definition it’s ok if he avoids sunburn by standing in H’s shadow, but slips out and kicks 2-3 ?
No one is lauding his form but he keeps getting picked, yeah we’ve got injuries to his competitors but he must be doing something to please the selectors.
