Reckon it'll be Kennedy. Proven goal kicker/forward.

Bizarre to choose Lang.

Kennedy could be played mid or forward.

More credible than Lang in either role....

Agree, scratching my head with that one.

Cripps will have Clayton Oliver and Harmes for company......
I think we can win this game, Melbourne have gone with a more mobile team but have a few inexperienced kids as well
and IMO we have a better balanced team.

re: Wines...think Cripps might have him as a team-mate next season....

I think their back line is very ordinary.

May? Meh. Small for a KPP defender and slow.

Lever? Yeah, very good as a loose 3rd tall floating across the ground but as a 2nd KPP defender? Nope.

He might negate McGovern (might) but the Guv is a bloody clever footballer.

Granted, they've got some run out of defence eg Salem, Harmes and Jetta but no one to man up big Levi, Betts is way too good for any of their small defenders and Martin, well Martin is simply elite.

Wouldn't surprise me if Martin kicks 7 tomorrow.

Their midfield is slow (more one dimensional than ours) and lacks class. Oliver is not class. Viney is tough but then....Bennell is potentially a gem but yet, he's a major question mark.

If Tiggers and The Filth managed 10.12, this might be a nil all draw with both sides having a history of failing to score goals.

Well, I would have thought Lang to be the last of those 4 to get a call up... would have to be a 'pace' call.

Been too long.

Just when I start to see a team I don’t mind on paper a late change shock comes in.

Lang is cooked. Enough chances already. Surely Willo was a better option.

We will know we have built a strong list when players of this caliber are not in it.

Lang was doing a little better in the 2nd half of last year, but he would have been my last choice. I would have gone with Philp. Real pace is an asset at Marvel.
