Simple questions don't necessary lead to simple answers and vice versa.

Yes I get that, but it's a bit meaningless, you might as well ask who you'd rather ruck against Motlop or Fisher?
 

Nothing like that at all.

In: Matthew Owies, Jacob Weitering
Out: Josh Honey, Brodie Kemp
MC saw what I saw with Honey, he absolutely stunk. He would have been embarrassed watching his game again. No matter how bad you're playing, if you have speed you can chase and tackle and it can get you back into the game.

OK, so you identified a problem, sure. What was the solution though?
Going into last week, i think there was a full 18 players unavailable. Many of them defenders.

Who would you want coming in?
Setterfield has been the sub, is he good enough? Or is he another midfielder?
Stocker has been injured and for whatever reason hasn't really impressed.
So who else?

Unfortunately, the cupboard is bare.
So blame the match committee if you want, but they can only pick who is available.

The simple solution is replace like with like.  That is, rather than bringing Cerra in for Boyd, Stocker should have come in.

If Cerra really deserved a spot in the 22, he should have replaced a mid/small forward.

Weitering coming straight back into the team is a no brainer but he should have replaced a mid/small forward to restore the balance last week’s selections upset.  Any of Cerra, Newnes, O’Brien, Cottrell and Honey could justifiably be omitted.

If Kemp had to be dropped (I’m not sure why), Stocker should have come in.  As it is, we could be setting Ryan, Rioli, Petrevski-Seton and their Cripps up for easy games.



It's still the Gulf of Mexico, Don Old!

Reminds me of questions the kids used to ask. Would you rather lose your R or L leg? Would you rather get diarrhoea or vomiting? 😂 tough questions.

So in both examples, you wanted Stocker in.
As mentioned, i'm not sure all is right with Stocker at present.
I'm not sure if its on-field or off, but he isn't really in the frame for selection for one reason or another.
Take him out of it and there is nobody left.

Didn't realise we haven't beaten WC in 8 years (rnd 6 2014).

Rumour is Owies has re injured his calf and is out.

Honey likely replacement.

Of our 4 emergencies only Tall Durds has fronted up for the Magoos. Edwardo Curnow looking good. What has happened to Jack Carroll... hardly touched it in the first qtr. Painters and Dockers (Port Mel) 3 gls up at the 30 minute mark of the 1st.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

IF we 'bring it,' we should win well, perhaps even build some %.

Actually, I wanted Kemp but it seems that he is injured (he missed the magoos game).

I’m not sure what’s going on with Stocker.  He has been in good form and would have made a better balanced 22 🤔
