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.

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.

Moir didn't really show much in the VFL before he was previously gifted a couple of AFL games - maybe he is going to provide cameo performances at whichever level he plays.

I don't think Acres is down on form; I suspect he is carrying an injury.  Whatever the case, he provides a better competitive option than any of the guys going around in the VFL - apart from his weekly turnovers, which seem to be common to many of his teammates.

Pittonet to carry a share of the load against Xerri and Lewis Young ahead of Lemmey, please.

I'm thinking Charlie will be fit. He'd better be if her plays, not chuck him in and rip it properly like we did with others last year.

We normally advertise our debutants early in the week. Seeing we haven't this week tells me Young is coming in.

Officially one change.

Pitto in, O'Keefe out.

As long as we don't make Pitto the sub.

Lemmey and Evans not named in the emergencies is a bit of a surprise.
Looks like Young will come in if charlie doesn't get up as he IS named as an emergency

yeah given o Farrell is named emergency (he took lots of intercept marks last week, and generally played well in the vfl from what i saw) plan B appears to be swing jsos forward and play O'Farrell back.

Our line-up:

B: 26 Nick Haynes  23 Jacob Weitering  39 Alex Cincotta
HB:  4 Oliver Hollands  1 Jack Silvagni  42 Adam Saad
C:   15 Sam Docherty   9 Patrick Cripps   13 Blake Acres
HF:   36 Cooper Lord  11 Mitch McGovern   29 George Hewett
F:   25 Jaxon Binns   30 Charlie Curnow   8 Lachie Fogarty
R:   12 Tom De Koning   5 Adam Cerra   6 Zac Williams
Int:   32 Matthew Carroll  19 Corey Durdin  3 Jesse Motlop  27 Marc Pittonet  14 Orazio Fantasia
EM:   22 Harry O'Farrell  38 Will White   33 Lewis Young

Pitto can't be the sub, or we're seriously stuffed.
Interesting to see who plays as small forward; we've named a lot of guys who can fill that role to have Binns named there.
Live Long and Prosper!

It just means binns won't be the sub.  Sub will come from our bench.  I doubt it will be pittonet.  I reckon it'll be durdin, motlop or fantasia as sub.

North are going in quite tall.  Particularly in defense.

Wonder if they are going to screw themselves in a way we normally do. 

I dont necessarily like the Haynes match up with Zurhaar, but I suppose we could swap him with JSOS and have Haynes match up with Darling instead.   Larkey is Weitering's cryptonite normally so we have a bit of flexibility for match ups down back.

Looking at the lineups, Im not confident they are putting out a side that can beat us.  The problem is we have become pretty good at beating ourselves, and any club who takes us seriously could challenge us.

I'll believe it when I see him run out (in between making salamis with the family)
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

Weitering has done better on Larkey in recent outings, I dont think the arrival of Darling has helped Larkey and maybe taken some of his supply away. Curtis, Zurhaar, and Luke Parker are players who I think might cause us more problems down forward as I think Weitering and Jack can cover their talls well enough but we often struggle finding matchups for those small to medium types who can take a mark as well as cover the ground well.
Nth have a few spuds down back and I dont expect to have any problems scoring as long as our mids dominate which I think they will and this is a game where we need to win well and get some 4 quarter action going rather than play a half and then fall asleep because thats not going to work against the tougher teams we have coming up in the draw.

I wouldn't be surprised if Larkey cries like a baby again ... not that there's anything wrong with that  :)

As we discussed earlier, Curtis is their main forward threat and one we struggle to match up on.  I hope Sammy Hamill has Plan A and Plan B for him.

Our last game against North was a convincing four quarter effort and, even if we're missing some important players, I'm expecting a similar effort.
