Don't want to be top heavy vs Nth imo, bring in Pittonet and we will look very slow. They have been poor this season but enjoy playing us and we need to get selection right and have options vs their problem players. I'm expecting a physical game and close scoreboard.

Young has to come in and play at full-back, he isn't much chop anywhere else.

Yes, Pittonet should be recalled to lighten the load around the ground and in the ball-ups.

As for Lemmey, how much longer can he remain on the list if he hasn't looked like gracing the seniors ?? We all need to know what we have with him so it's time to give him a chance because he will certainly stretch the young Kangaroo defence. 

I can see another change with a small coming in somewhere.

IN : Young, Lemmey, Pittonet, Boyd

OUT : McKay (inj), Kemp (inj), White, Williams 

By the way, 12 players contributed a mere 5 tackles between them against WCE (seven of them had zero tackles), that is completely & utterly unacceptable on every possible level. Do that against a higher ranked team and we will always come off second best. 

@DJC, cripps is a better third forward than anyone else on our list amd that was before we lost Kemp.

I dont know what Kemp is, he's a good ordinary player, but he's a player i can't work out what he is, and utility is all I got.

...and the other mob aren't trying. Seriously, we only broke away when they forget to come out after half time.

Norf will beat us up - they always do.

I wouldn't get over excited by Motlop'sgame  - had nothing to beat. The likes of Reid didn't exactly put much heat on him.

The only two for them that had a dip were the ex Rich blokes and their ruckman.

I wouldn’t rule out Pitto but the MC would have to have their thinking caps on to ensure that we don’t field a slow squad.

I think we saw a little bit in the 2nd half that they will use Cripps forward.   With Hewitt, Cerra, Walsh and Lord that makes a little bit of sense.  Pitto isn't good enough to play first up.  

We are keen again to drop our small forwards.   I thought by committee the small forwards in Motlop, Durdin, White and Williams played well.    If Ellijah is match fit I would bring him in as he offers a different dynamic up forward.     

Xerri is the inform, dominant ruckman in the competition right now, we need Pittonet to play in tandem with TDK so Xerri is under constant pressure in the role.
