No point risking either Harry or Cerra IMO.

I just got through showing Moir's stats in another thread. He kicks over a goal a game and kicks accurately in front of goal. 2 things our forwards don't do.

I wouldn't play Kemp in the middle, but i wouldn't mind seeing him on a wing as a connector between defense and attack. Resting deep forward.

HOK vs Young....are you playing to win, are you playing for the future?

I had this down as a game we should win.....i'm not so sure now......but i reckon we could 100% lose it at the selection table.

Thought about Kemp on the wing. He'd be a nice link coming out of defence. The issue i have with Moir is his workrate. No doubt a real touch of class as he has shown at times but I wonder if he will become another Troy Menzel. It's why he hasn't played more often. He looks like the type that will frustrate the life out of us all. Be so good if he was able to improve all that as he has some class.

That's the problem
You guys were 'invested'

You could argue today’s World Cup final was a poor spectacle but it was watched to the end by a few billion.

A game doesn't have to be full of great skills to be a good watch.
Sometimes the sillier, controversial, full of mistakes the more memorable.
The rainy Hawthorn game would have been a good one for those not following either side.
I really enjoyed the Essendon game yesterday....don't tell anyone, but  I was actually barracking against the "orange team"

I watched it with 3 collingwood supporting mates.
All 4 of us said it was a terrible game to watch, with terrible skills.

If non-fans enjoyed it, its probably because 2 once great clubs were looking very average!

Not winning actually makes it easier to take a back seat to whoever is appointed.

Just on the game...
If you weren't invested on the result like fans of both sides it would have been a pretty good game to watch.

I have been happy with Fraser in that respect. Despite pushing towards a wildcard he has kept the youngsters in the side. His main goal to leave Carlton a better place at season's end and may well do that.

So you agree he's leaving?

I won't argue with you, I think it's the most likely occurrence too!

Personally, I think the end of 2026 is going to see a lot of coaching changes, perhaps the most ever in a season.

Good questions, K. Here's some more.

Do we really want to risk H and Cez?

Do we reward ordinary Magoos form? Specifically, do we reward Moir's ordinary form with a senior gig? Likewise the Campos. HOK has been ordinary but his last appearance was better. In for H? Lewis Y in to take on King? Harry Charleson has been reasonable in the Magoos... give him a lash at senior level? Likewise Flynn Y.

Do we give Kemp a run in the midfield, changing with Crippa?

Boyd's form has been okay... replace Cez?

Try Ollie H again?

Thursday evening's team selection will be fascinating.
