Evans 15 possessions and 3 goals.

Wilson is probably close to earning a game, and they seem to be working on him as a HBF
I'd like to see him given a try.
A word of caution though, while he has 25 possessions half way through the last (and Boyd has 28) a lot of those are passes between the two of them.

A lot of Boyd's are kick ins ... but he still played a pretty good game!

They are...
Something similar was happening when Docherty was playing VFL to what happened today with Wilson and there was a fair bit of short passing between him and Boyd.

The contested possessions show this Boyd 5, Wilson 3
Nothing wrong with it.
Makes sense to share it around rather than just blast it out.
It just needs to be considered.

I'm just wondering the best use of Wilson, and areas where he may be found out when he gets a senior chance. At the contest is probably one.

Lemmey a couple in junk time. Still, 4 goals are 4 goals.
Given we dont have a key forward, Lemmey will play next week.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

The options are bring Pittonet in to play on Xerri and then have TDK play as a key forward and I presume McGovern would play the other Key Forward position.
The other alternative is give Lemmey his first game, Id expect as RR suggested that Young will probably play anyway and Id see that more as insurance for either end of the ground. Weitering has been a bit off form in recent weeks, Jack was also off injured at one stage too and with Okeefe injured, Harry unlikely and Charlie a risk if he played we need some options as I think Nth will provide a lot more fight than WC did. Its a bit of a dilemma or should that be a Delemmey of a situation....

Im forecasting Pittonet comes back in.

He played well enough to earn a call up and with okeefe going out a ruck sized player should come in.  I'd personally prefer lemmey.  Thing is if he cant cut it against North then who else can we play him against?

Pittonet is a known quantity.  We know what he's got and of TDK walks end of year he's first ruck off the rank.

Lemmey has done enough over the last month to earn his call up. I'm happy to play he and McGovern up forward id Charlie isn't fit. I'd look at the speed of Billy Wilson too. He has played some good footy.

Yes, he has really taken a step up the last month. Taking alot of marks and kicking a few too.

I think it will be Pittonet.
Voss mentioned the second-ruck at the end of his press conference.
It could be Young but Pittonet would seem a better option given the oppostition.

Doesn't mean Lemmey wont get a run also.

Oh i forgot about young.  I reckon lemmey only plays if Charlie doesn't.

Play Pittonet AND Lemmey.

HOK is an obvious out.
Charlie doesn't know how bad he hurt his calf as its the first soft tissue he's done. So could be right to play, could be out for 4.
So.....rest him.

Like for like.

Good time to bring in Pittonet to take on the monster Xerri.
