Teams under estimate players like Cox and Mihocek and this is part of the reason why the Pies have done so well. Cox is no great ruckman or KP Forward but he is a hard to dominate against and thats where his value is, he also has that habit of taking big marks and kicking straight when it matters and is far from the bumbling idiot who first graced the MCG years ago. To be honest Id have more faith in Cox giving Collingwood something than I would Young giving us a solid game of football at the present time....his loss of form remains a mystery and in terms of softness he would be leading the Quilton medal.

Who in our backline will stop a 211 cm giant from marking in the forward line??
195  Weitering?
192  Kemp?
191   McGovern?
202   Young?
Cox can do 2 things quite well.....mark and kick straight. He's not an instinctive footballer. Young spoils well. Neither are great ruckmen. By having Young 'tag' Cox you cover your lack of height down back AND your second ruck dilemma. TDK plays better as top dog and Pittonet's lack of speed will be shown up against the Pies. Play McGovern up forward as your second tall  target.

Nobody has answered my question though.

Who plays 2nd key forward next to Charlie?
If Young is playing on Cox, when Cox is forward, TDK is in the ruck and Charlie is by himself up forward.

I'd bring Binns in.  It's all about run this week.

Kemp....they won't be expecting that.  
He plays the Silvagni role.

They'll slaughter a first gamer.

Playing Pitto allows TDK to play forward and give charlie a chopout.
You'd almost play both Young and Pitto as well as TDK and Charlie.
But if i was going to play just one of Young and Pitto, it'd be Pitto because that helps our forward line.

Think of it this way. If Charlie is our sole key forward, what would you do if you were Collingwood? Double/triple team him?!
Who will kick our goals otherwise??

To help drive that point home lets look at our top goal kickers for 2023.
1. Charlie - 61
2. McKay - 26 - injured
3. Owies - 17 - injured
4. Motlop - 16 - injured last week
5. Silvagni - 14 - injured
6. Durdin - 10 - injured
7. Cerra - 8 - Didn't play last week coming back from injury
8. Cottrell - 6
=9. Martin - 5 - Didn't play last week coming back from injury
=9. Cripps - 5 - Didn't play last week coming back from injury
=9. Docherty - 5

Thats our top 12 goalkickers for the year, 5 are not playing and 3 are a test.

We need TDK to play forward.
Thus, we need Pitto to play ruck.

Young vs Cox is another debate.

I think Kemp is =25th on our goal kicking list for 2023 with a grand total of 1 goal.

Yep. Wouldn't be expecting it, sure.
Not sure it'll actually help though.
