I'd go with:McGovern playing 2 positions!!!
B: Kemp, Weitering, McGovern
HB: Saad, McGovern, Docherty
C: Acres, Cripps, Hollands
HF: Martin, McKay, De Koning
F: Owies, C Curnow, Motlop
Fol: Pittonet, Hewett, Cerra
I/C: Walsh, Cottrell, Cincotta, Cuningham
Emerg(sub): Fogarty, Dow, Marchbank
I thought Marchbank comment was that he touched it but he thought it was perhaps over the line already, the question was never if he touched it but which side of the line it was touched on.Does he say what hand or part of the body he touched it with?
Abuse of players at the ground by supporters is just not on. Unacceptable. I know it's a loud minority but they should pull their heads in. Players shouldn't have to put up with this and be subjected to such abuse. I bet no-one is hurting more than the players, coaches, staff and so on.Maybe they should all wear head phones like Mackay!!!
At the 9min mark of the 2nd, Charlie had 0.4, Martin 1.2, Owies had 0.1. They were all gettable, regulation shots for fwds. Convert a few of those and we go into half time with an ok lead. Not Saying the 7 to 2 goal 3rd qtr wouldnt have happened but it may have looked totally different. Those misses absolutely deflate us every time.Also gives the opposition another attacking opportunity. 16 for the game!!!
I'd be happy to use Harry as a relieving ruck. Get him out of the confines of the goalsquare and run around taking marks. Brisbane ruck Daniher, no reason we can't ruck Harry.That sounds good to me, also keep Young down back to take some intercepts marks, and Silvagni up forward for a goal or 2 or 3.
We'll see what Curly's boy is made of at seasons end but surely we bin these for a start:You can add Williams to that list!

Trade wise, apart from a hand full (and I mean a hand full) of obvious untouchables, everyone else is on the trade table AFAIC. We can't keep turning out the same blokes year after year who can't advance us into the 8.
Need more than one player on Nick, his running is off the charts. Cottrell has struggled keeping up with Josh in the past and you need a few players to work them over. I like the idea of someone who can punish Nick for not defending and force Collingwood to change their plans.Me thinks we have bigger issues to worry about than opposition players, like 1 goal from 29 entries!!!
It's the pace and ball movement of Collingwood that kills you, they always have that overlap runner and I think that's why the Crows were able to almost match them because they are young and have leg speed to keep up.
We could do with a wet day to make it more contested and slow the game up.
I don't think Newey gave up the chase on Cameron, I think he gave up in disgust at how easy it got to Cameron and how little support there was for him and how little pressure up the field there was to create the Cameron opportunity in the first place.The mindset of giving up starts well before the contest. A desperate player would have made more of an effort to not concede a goal. The result may have been the same but his team mates would have appreciated an effort.
But for heaven's sake tell him "Winning is important".If we are going to bring back a previous coach, Ratten would be my choice!!!
