I thought we were over the MC ruining or chances with their chosen lineups.
The number of games we struggled in due to the teams imbalance we ALL could see even before a ball is bounced.  :o
Last year was good, regularly good.
2025... Moir of the same to come

Our line-up:

Backs:  Lachie Cowan  Jacob Weitering  Brodie Kemp
Half-backs:  Zac Williams  Lewis Young  Nic Newman
Centreline:  Ollie Hollands  Patrick Cripps  Blake Acres
Half-forwards:  Matthew Cottrell  Tom De Koning  Elijah Hollands
Forwards:  Charlie Curnow  Harry McKay  Matthew Owies
Followers:  Marc Pittonet  Sam Walsh  George Hewett
Interchange:  Jordan Boyd  Jack Carroll  Corey Durdin  Orazio Fantasia  Matthew Kennedy

Emergencies:  Jaxon Binns  Alex Cincotta  Hudson O'Keeffe

In: Lachie Cowan, Lewis Young
Out: Adam Saad (hamstring), Mitch McGovern (hamstring)

[1] I can live with 2 rucks. Tom struggled against Briggs last year. Pitto shouldn't.
[2] How did Cincotta miss out? He has to add more than Fantasia and Corey Durdin. And he has shown he can play in the middle: I'd be trying something different there.
[3] Our midfield has been smashed this year. Can we change it somehow?
[4] Ollie Hollands?

I looks at this side and I am uninspired. I guess Cowan is playing well enough, but Cincotta was excellent in his only showing.
Live Long and Prosper!

Another ruckman in HOK as the emergency? Very odd.
A few need to lift this week:
Durdin Fantasia Ollie Elijah Owies
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

I think we'll get shown a lesson. Hope I'm wrong.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Surely O'Keffe can't be an emergency.  Three rucks ? what drugs are the MC on?

Being named an emergency is sometimes a bit like a 'participation certificate'. :D
It's a reward for effort and it sends the message that "you're not too far away"
If we have to make a late change it's a pretty fair bet it won't be O'Keefe coming in....most likely it will be Cincotta, if he's fit.

Our ability to respond after a loss is pretty good. It'll need to be. I'd expect a far more intense and competitive effort tomorrow arvo with an upset (us winning) on the cards.

Time to regain the 'hunter' focus/spirit. What's the best way to satisfy a 'hunger' for winning - Hunt.

Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

O’Keeffe may have been named because Pitto or De Koning has a niggle.

Cincotta was “managed” last round but the Magoos are playing on Sunday and he won’t miss two games if he is the emergency.

The sub may get to back up on Sunday too.

Running out of choices. I'd have him in the 2s if we could.

We'll get the best out of him in the 2nd half of the year when he gets the feel properly of the game again. I'd have him in the 2s until then but we have run out of players.

OUT
Cerra
Docherty
McGovern
Saad
Dow
Marchbank
Martin
Motlop
Cunningham
Cincotta
Fogarty
In
Walsh
E.Hollands
Z.Williams

Fantasia
Boyd
Carroll

Yes, it seems that we have finally built up some decent depth ... but is it enough to knock off the best team in the comp?

Quietly confident  :)

The teams that GWS have beaten don't actually make up a Cox Plate field.... An underdone Collingwood, North, WCE, Suns, St Kilda.
They are not in scintillating for and neither are we. 
We are most vulnerable against 6th - 12th ranked teams but seem to come to the party against the big dogs.
They are due to drop one, we are due to rebound!

Not if we keep fumbling, dropping marks, miss hitting up targets and refuse to man up.
