Paddy Dow had a statistically better game than that against Collingwood, and we had lost Weitering in that game causing us a bit of structural damage.  Didnt stop him getting dropped after match in the seniors.


To go with Cerra's stats he racked up 1 tackle.  Paddy had 5 and he got dropped.

Ill give players graces.  Im not one to call for one bloke to be dropped at the drop of a hat, but we lost badly and we have players lining up to get in and blokes under performing.  You can drop newnes too if you want, but we cant drop too many outside players without bringing in an outside player. 

Forecast wet and very windy here on Sunday so won't be a pretty game and probably nullifies the advantages we have with Charlie and Harry up forward. Agree with other comments on here.....Ryan and Rioli are the 2 that could hurt us in those conditions. If it is wet/windy, not sure Kemp will hold his spot?

For me, Weitering and Owies in for Kemp and Honey.

That still leaves us with only six defenders and that's not sustainable in good conditions. If Kemp goes out - and on form he shouldn't - Stocker has to come in.

With the expected conditions, Wet Toast getting players and form back, and their difficult to match up on forwards, I think we'll be in trouble if we go with six defenders.

Interchange from....
[32] Jack Newnes,
[5] Adam Cerra,
[25] Zac Fisher,
[19] Corey Durdin,
[36] Josh Honey,
[40] Will Hayes,
[43] Will Setterfield,
[38] Sam Durdin

Pick 4, and a sub.

For mine
Fisher, C. Durdin, Cerra, Newnes - Setterfield sub

Cottrell can play as a half back if required. He's essentially playing a nullifying role most weeks anyway.

Newnes did that against the Saints … poorly.  Cottrell could too, but not as well as Kemp or Stocker, and our wingers would be under strength and under pressure, as they were against the Saints.

Paddy played in the centre. The easiest position to get tackles

He also had less time on ground and played his first match for the season.

No reason why cerra shouldn't build his fitness in the VFL.
