Moir hasn't done enough for a game based on what ive seen.

I wouldn't be dropping acres.  Sends the wrong message and he busts a gut.  He's also more versatile than most and is more likely to build into it and play at a level beyond most of our list.

We dont take our next opponent seriously and we'll pay for it.

Pittonet comes in for o'keefe as tdk will need the help dealing with Xerri. 

Lewis young probably comes in by default if curnow doesn't come up.  At least we can swing him forward and back, but id prefer lemmey came in, but not ahead of pittonet.

Hopefully just the one change, Francis Evans was one of our better players on the weekend and would be ahead of moir on form.

Yes, Moir has to earn a game.  He was pretty good two weeks ago but reverted to a cameo role on Sunday.

Acres is down on form but is still in our better players and way ahead of any the blokes who played in the VFL last week.  The only way he’ll miss is if he’d benefit from a week off.

Blues by 19 points.

Officially one change.

Pitto in, O'Keefe out.

As long as we don't make Pitto the sub.

Lemmey and Evans not named in the emergencies is a bit of a surprise.
Looks like Young will come in if charlie doesn't get up as he IS named as an emergency

HTF are north $4

Heard Vossy on SEN this morning.
Said Charlie definitely playing,  for what it's worth.

North are going in quite tall.  Particularly in defense.

Wonder if they are going to screw themselves in a way we normally do. 

I dont necessarily like the Haynes match up with Zurhaar, but I suppose we could swap him with JSOS and have Haynes match up with Darling instead.   Larkey is Weitering's cryptonite normally so we have a bit of flexibility for match ups down back.

Looking at the lineups, Im not confident they are putting out a side that can beat us.  The problem is we have become pretty good at beating ourselves, and any club who takes us seriously could challenge us.

Weitering has done better on Larkey in recent outings, I dont think the arrival of Darling has helped Larkey and maybe taken some of his supply away. Curtis, Zurhaar, and Luke Parker are players who I think might cause us more problems down forward as I think Weitering and Jack can cover their talls well enough but we often struggle finding matchups for those small to medium types who can take a mark as well as cover the ground well.
Nth have a few spuds down back and I dont expect to have any problems scoring as long as our mids dominate which I think they will and this is a game where we need to win well and get some 4 quarter action going rather than play a half and then fall asleep because thats not going to work against the tougher teams we have coming up in the draw.
