I think TDKs best role is ruck and has never convinced me he is a KP forward.
I get we have nothing else but if he does play it would be mainly ruck for me and I'd have Kennedy at FF.

orazio is a swim against the tide player. 

Cincotta should be in but durdin and motlop are the ones counting their lucky stars
100%, those two should not have played purely on exposed form! Lord and Carrol/Binns would have given more midfield options as well.....
As for Cincotta ffs
I was there, Blight missed!!!

An "ITK" elsewhere has claimed that the sub is 'surprising'!?! Could it be Kemp? Wouldn't that freak out some people here????

That part is just the regular Thursday rubbish where they just pick 23 and plonk them anywhere at selection.

Be very surpriswed if there is not.
I don't think DeKoning will play.
I don't think Cerra will play
I think Cincotta will.

I didn't comment about Cerra in my previous post and meant too.

He has been terribly out of form.
He has been as robust as a dandilion in a strong breeze.
Of all the players picked, i think he is most likely to break down.

Blasphemy, ............................... stone him, stone him!

Who have thunk it, selection subject to circumstance and opposition! :o

Of course, if we lose, it's due to two rucks! ::)
How many years has this debate been going? You still don't understand it.
I said the same thing as MBB.

As soon as i saw the bench i said it should be Fantasia, but it would probably be kemp.
Poor bloke must have ran over Vossy's cat/dog. Always the first one to get it in the neck.

Our line-up: sometimes our match committee makes me wonder, but ...

B:  [33] Lewis Young  [23] Jacob Weitering  [42] Adam Saad
HB:  [15] Sam Docherty  [11] Mitch McGovern  [24] Nic Newman
C:  [4] Oliver Hollands  [9] Patrick Cripps  [13] Blake Acres
HF:  [20] Elijah Hollands  [10] Harry McKay  [6] Zac Williams
F:  [19] Corey Durdin  [12] Tom De Koning  [3] Jesse Motlop
R:  [27] Marc Pittonet  [18] Sam Walsh  [29] George Hewett
Int:  [2] Lachlan Cowan  [5] Adam Cerra  [14] Orazio Fantasia  [17] Brodie Kemp  [7] Matthew Kennedy

Em:  [16] Jack Carroll  [39] Alex Cincotta  [43] Ashton Moir

[1] I like bringing in Doc; he is a big game player. He may not be 'match fit', but he is probably as fit as anyone this time of year, maybe more so.
[2] I'm struggling to understand how a half-fit Corey Durdin stays in when Cincotta misses. I'd have liked to have Moir as the Sub. How Motlop keeps his space I'm also struggling with. He hasn't done anything of significance this year.
I quite like Motlop, but he is about as far off the boil as a player can get. I liked Durdin's effort in the last couple of weeks, but he can't put his hand over his head.
[3] Cerra mystifies me somewhat. When he is fit and firing, he is a weapon, but he hasn't been 'fit and firing' this year yet. And his hamstrings are suspect.
[4] I don't mind the 2 rucks with Charlie out; we need another marking target and To0md can be one. Running 2 rucks against McInerney and Daniher is not a bad idea either.
[5] Dunkley has played some big games against Cripps. I'd like to see Crippa turn the tables on him this time.
Live Long and Prosper!

If its worth saying, its worth saying twice? lol.

I agree.

But as we both know, the cupboard is very bare in key talls, so if he is deemed fit, he plays.
If Charlie is deemed not fit, Pittonet plays and TDK gets moved forward.
Kemp provides backup in case of injury.

Kemp should start.  All our big men should.

If we are going to win this, it's all going to be about the form of weitering, McKay, cripps, kennedy hewitt and Walsh and the rest just need to lift to the occasion.

Problem I have is cerra and durdin.  To a lesser extent motlop but he's been a flash in the pan or performer and not really even that this season.

Cerra's best is good enough to be a point of difference but we haven't seen it since last year before finals.

In theory, Kemp is a good sub.

However, when you have the small forwards we have who will be non-contributors, you'd be better off starting kemp.....or cincotta...or anyone.

Overall i think our team balance is about right, i just dislike our forwardline/bench.

Brisbane beat us last year because of their smalls, not their talls. We helped lose the game by going in too tall last time.
We need to pressure their smalls/runners We need to hold them accountable. Someone like Cincotta does exactly that.
