Assuming Curnow is out, I’d probably go with debuts for Lemmey & Ben Camporeale. Acres/Docherty survive as there is nobody else, but I do want to see the back of Fantasia. Side looks weak but the best we can muster. Fogarty stiff and could replace Motlop.

Moir hasn't done enough for a game based on what ive seen.

I wouldn't be dropping acres.  Sends the wrong message and he busts a gut.  He's also more versatile than most and is more likely to build into it and play at a level beyond most of our list.

We dont take our next opponent seriously and we'll pay for it.

Pittonet comes in for o'keefe as tdk will need the help dealing with Xerri. 

Lewis young probably comes in by default if curnow doesn't come up.  At least we can swing him forward and back, but id prefer lemmey came in, but not ahead of pittonet.

Hopefully just the one change, Francis Evans was one of our better players on the weekend and would be ahead of moir on form.

I will dead set vomit if Evans ever plays a senior game for us again.

I agree but you cant complain that players dont get dropped and needing to set standards and then bring in players undeserving of a game. 

If i could choose any small player from the vfl on last week's form Darcy Hogg would be my first choice.

Agree but I reckon Moir needs a crack for two reasons. I think he has some X factor that not many on list have. I think he might blossom if he had an extended crack in the 1s. Given our injury woes and the season almost done and dusted, why not expose the kid to senior footy.

We need to get him on the list first.
And that's not out of the question if he keeps developing.
He's been pretty solid.

Yes, Moir has to earn a game.  He was pretty good two weeks ago but reverted to a cameo role on Sunday.

Acres is down on form but is still in our better players and way ahead of any the blokes who played in the VFL last week.  The only way he’ll miss is if he’d benefit from a week off.

Replacing McKay with a ruck/KPF worked … until Skull did his hammy.  Skull’s replacement has to depend on whether Charlie is OK, and I think he will be.  Then there’s the Xerri - De Koning contest.  Xerri got the numbers last time but he had little influence and we smashed North in clearances.  I don’t think that we need to bring in Pitto to counter Xerri.

If Charlie plays, then Young or Lemmey comes in for Skull.  I’d go with Lemmey, simply because I think it would be a good opportunity to see how he goes at AFL level, and he’s spent a couple of years training with Charlie and knows the running patterns. His recent VFL form has been very good.

If Charlie doesn’t get up, we’re faced with the dilemma of going with a combination of a first game KPF/ruck with a ruckman trying to be a KPF or a KPD trying to be a KPF.  Alternatively, we could go with McGovern as an undersized KPF but he’s much better value as a third tall.

Frank the Tank’s VFL form has been good, but not good enough to displace any of our small forwards.
It's still the Gulf of Mexico, Don Old!

Not AFL standard don't care what he does in the 2s (where he belongs). Never want to see him in the ones ever again.
