Cincotta was injured as well. Looked like Pittonet stepped on his ankle while he was on the ground.

Cincotta ankle
Kennedy ankle
McGovern shoulder
Acres shoulder
Walsh back
Weitering quad

I suspect we also have
Cripps
Pittonet
...who are both labouring (more so than usual) who are far from 100% fit as well.

Corey Durdin coming in isn't fully fit
and
i can't help but think Williams has an injury as well.....maybe i'm just conditioned to think he is injured, as he usually is.

Straight sets with the loss to the Dees as well.

Its heartbreaking disappointment like that which is required to generate the hunger that can produce what the 95 side did.

Still some reasonable players running around on Blue, it won't be the picnic Harley might think it is.

Quite sure this line up is younger that Wet Toast.

Against my better judgment, I’d like to see our Gov play on their Gov.

Our Gov could then trot out the classic “My dad made love to your mum!” line.

Like Prof, I’d like to see Billy Wilson get a run.  He attacks the aggott and has a decent crack.

Like EB, I’d like to see Lemmey line up as a key forward.  He was probably pencilled in for a debut next season but it’s a perfect opportunity to see what he’s got.

While we’re at it, I’d throw Ashton Moir into the mix too.  He played probably his best game last week and a debut ahead of time wouldn’t hurt - perhaps as the sub.

Some of his in close work in the u18s was very slick, he's a little different to the rest of our midfield crew.  Personally I'd play him as a small defender because we're still very light on in that area.
Ok, maybe I havent worked out where his best position is and as a small defender he might be able to find a role, I wouldnt be sticking him on Liam Ryan though.

Lord in this week, I guess they have to justify the mid season selection. McMahon would have been handier this week.
In any case, go well son.

Pleased to be making my debut this weekend.

If they are taking Lemmey all the way over to the other side of the country then they just have to play him. At 201cm, the Eagles have no-one of that height to manage him.

Lemmey regularly rucks in the VFL and I dare say that he would more effective at giving Pitto a chop out than Young, Cripps and Kennedy.  He can clunk a mark and his kicking for goal is good.  If nothing else, Lemmey would demand a competent key defender and he could bring the ball to ground more often than not.
