I think Motlop will be Sub with Kemp, Pitt and Marchbank emergencies.

Fantasia sub, Kemp, Cincotta, Hewett and Kennedy in the 22.
The latter four are automatics for me and you couldn't pick Marchbank based on last week's game imo.
We wouldn't want to get too cute with selection or we might get knocked over...

For mine pittonet should come into the 22.  The Tigers can't kick a winning score and rucking a tandem would be desirable against nankervis.  Need our jets ready for finals football.  Cerra as the sub first week back and maybe o. Hollands a bit of a spell.

You don't stuff around with good form and continuity. Minimal changes required... Cerra in, Durdin out.

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

True, but we don't know what injuries players carry and at this time of year they will all be carrying something.

The ultimate target is to safely get to the pointy end in the best possible condition.

I picked cerra for the sib roll prior to the teams coming out but he is named on the ground so can't be sub.

Thing it will be a mid in need of a rest hewett/kennedy or a small forward fantasia/motlop

In the absence of injuries, I can't see Hewett, Kennedy, Kemp or Cincotta going out, so perhaps I should expect a late change.

Has Motlop done enough in the last VFL game to earn a Sub role?

At least one of Alex Cincotta, Orazio Fantasia, George Hewett, Brodie Kemp and Matthew Kennedy has to miss out and another has to be the sub.

That's two very unfortunate players, even Orazio, or perhaps one with a niggle.

If more than two miss out, it has to be with an eye for keeping players fit and fresh rather than for form and improving the team  :-\

No...dont mess with a winning combo, Id stick with Orazio, ....Hewett and Kennedy have been good in recent weeks and the Tigers have got their first choice mids all back in if Martin plays so Id be picking our best mids and looking to rest players vs weaker lineups..

Vossy has confirmed that Motlop needs another game in the VFL.

One change.

In Cerra
Out Durdin

Bench (inc sub) - Cincotta, Kemp, Kennedy, Fantasia, Hewett
Emg: Marchbank, Pittonet, Motlop.

I would've preferred the swapping of Motlop and fantasia, but this is the next best option IMO.

Maybe not this game, but I'd be tempted to give Cincotta a game as sub, or even a complete rest, in the not too distant future.
He's done some massive jobs in recent weeks and if there is no clear match-up we're worried about give him a rest.

Id want Motlop to have a good game this week and force his way in if Fantasia doesnt perform well.
