I understand bringing Durdin in as we have the 4th worst defense in the comp. Only the bottom 3 teams have conceded more goals than us.

We also need a look at Nige, has he debuted yet ?
In the past when needed he was suspended or injured, we need to see if he can work in the back six
Let’s go BIG !

I doubt Kemps been written off, though sometimes I wonder who Weiters feels more comfortable with, who he thinks he can rely on to do what needs to be done.

I actually think Weitering probably has a big influence in that selection process...and I suspect it's not Young.
How many games has Young played in defence (and not in the ruck) with Weitering also in the side.

Nige has played one game for us - I think he got injured 🙄 - and 22 for North.

As Fog said, we’ve given up more goals in the last two games than we have in quite a while.  McGovern struggling with injury, then missing hasn’t helped but it’s not entirely the back seven’s fault.  Our team defence needs to improve!

Who would S. Durdin play on?....Not Larkey I hope.

Any chance Weitering is a late out with soreness and S Durdin plays? Hopefully not as Larkey will tear him a new one.

Kemp was really good earlier on but last few weeks been a bit off IMO. He might eventually take MOTY but he goes for those too often and some of his disposal has been pretty ordinary too. Not sure who gets Zurhaar this week as I would've thought he was the best option given McGovern is still out.

I suppose our first priority will be to cut off supply, then the 2nd priority will be diminish the impact if we aren't able to limit supply.

Our best footy comes from centre square dominance, of course given we have Harry and Charlie that must be self-evident. We are nowhere near as good with using the footy when we have to exit D50, and we are even more diminished while McGovern is out as he's probably our best user, so for me centre square dominance should remain our priority over other avenue to goal.

Losing Williams is a problem, he is another of our better ball users, we probably need Cottrell and Acres to step up and become damaging forward of centre while continuing to deep run defensively and for the rest of the team to look for open options entering F50. A myopic focus on Charlie and Harry makes it too easy for the opposition to setup and run the footy out of our F50.

Teakle is 203cm tall, if Durdin does not play it will be Marchy on 2 metre Teak.

Fox Footy suggesting Durdin has to pass a fitness test, they asked Voss if Durdin playing would free up Weitering from a matchup on Larkey and he replied "Possibly".
Teakle was named CHF but mature aged recruit and KP defender Toby Pink has been playing that role in recent weeks, the dual ruckman Nth have may mean Pittonet will play.
I dont mind Durdin playing on Teakle if that matchup happened but I wouldnt want him anywhere near Larkey like I said before...

Voss tried to free up Weitering against the Giants which was a fail that he couldn't rectify during the game once Weiters got that bad corky.

I think Weitering has to play on the oppositions best KP Forward every week....Kemp on Hogan was mystifying unless Weitering was already carrying an injury and not really fit to begin with.
Never thought I would say this but McGovern being out seems to have unsettled the backline and made Kemp look more vulnerable.

Our defence looks ridiculously small with both Kemp and McGovern out. Not bringing in Durdin to play on Teakle is a shocking move. Kennedy is a good player, but he isn't a full time defender: he's a strong mid who can go forward sometimes.

Mattie Cottrell; How? Why? He needs to get a few games under his belt and a bit of confidence. He isn't in any role he might have on Sunday.

North also play 2 big rucks. I don't understand Pitto making way in this case. if North had only a single ruck, someone Tom could run into the ground, I would understand. This, I don't.

Our match committee and I often disagree, but it looks to me like we want to lose, as we've weakened our structure.
Live Long and Prosper!
