Really? Are those selections "establishing standards"?

Treat them with a grain of salt at the moment.
I'm just curious to see how reliable they are.
Wait and see how legit they turn out to be...
Lord went OK last week
It would be hard to see them dropping him.
(I hear he's on the plane, so those selections could be BS)

Treat this with caution. I've seen it in three different places, but they might all be feeding off one another. I have a strong feeling that may be the case with one of the sources.

In: Harry, Carroll, Cottrell, Durdin

Out: Young, Cowan, Lord, Moir

Sub: Doc

We'll see how reliable it turns out to be.

In the case of Moir and young, yes. 

We effectively played a man down with Moir getting two touches in 3 quarters of footy.  Hes only a youngster, but he's in his second year of footy and we need to unlock the magic elixir more frequently where players in year 1 and 2 can somewhat hit the ground running at our footy club because almost none of them do.

Lewis young for Harry is a no brainer.  Young performed ok against the Doggies but still had a couple of efforts that were match losing particularly one pass to nobody in forward 50 which was kickable if he backed himself.  Was rubbish when it got hot vs Collingwood.  Turned it over, and when he did get it, didnt want contact so dished it off ASAP.


With Lord, he had laid 8 tackles before he was subbed off vs Richmond.  Was a strange sub selection given where the game was at, and it did nothing to help our cause so thus far, the treatment of Lord has been something that I have found bewildering in that game.

Beyond that though, not sure there are many other things that can be done.  Voss has limiting levers to pull due to so many under performing players.  You cant drop them all, and likewise whats coming in hasnt earned a spot, so you have to persist with the top liners until the pressure comes from underneath.

I’d still persevere with Moir, they gifted him 1 game, to not gift him a couple, is in my opinion counterproductive.
Let’s go BIG !

Delivers the ball intelligently inside 50 and both smart and skilled enough to generate shots on goal.  As soon as he's fit, he's in for mind.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Agree, got more talent than most and plays that hard to find 3rd forward role.
Reminds me a bit of Philipou from Stkilda who can look as lazy as anything but who they have persisted with during many non productive games but is starting to look a player before being injured.
Id make Moir work on a wing and make him run just to get him moving and involved.

E.Hollands isn't quick but is a smart player who can give you good minutes on the ball or down forward. One of our first picked if fit IMHO and his output is really missed.

EH is not slow for his size, too many fans judge quick relative to the quickest players in the comp, but quick is always relative to the role being played.

West Coast came early. Arrived over in Adelaide about Tuesday, so they could be up and about.

They can smell the blood in the water, they know they are a chance against us.

In the last 4 games between us and them......our WORST performance has been a 63 point win.
Our average winning margin against them in the last 4 games is 76 points.

They might think they are a chance based on our recent form this season, but on recent form against them, they shouldn't have high hopes.

Spot on Lods. Can't believe Lord has been dropped again.

Agree, we should beat them comfortably without too many problems.
Our top players are way better than theirs and I expect our mids to dominate.
Only area where they may make it awkward is down forward where Allen, Waterman, Ryan,  and J Cripps are a reasonable unit but with limited supply I don't see a problem.

We will beat them comfortably. Only the margin is in question.
I predict 48 points on a fast track.
Some of our downhill skiers should return to form.

33 degrees forecast for Saturday.  We may get some indication if fitness is our problem in running out games.
