I had the wrong Hollands out, E not O
For some reason, I thought Newman was suspended but its been brought to my attention he is available so he needs to come in also.

Newey’s suspension is up but he has only played limited minutes in two VFL practice games.  I suspect that he will be underdone.

He is in his last few seasons imo - considering where this list is we just have to get games into Moir, Campo brothers, Flynn Young  this season. We cant waste this year playing too many of the older blokes at the expense of kids. I know its a balance but the likes of Hynes, Newman, McGovern, Saad cannot be automatic ins anymore.

I fear Moir is going to struggle under our faster game style, he seems best suited to the older stoppage / marking game style where he could be the 3rd man up in the contest.

To persist he really needs to make better use of his ambidextrous capabilities, if anything he seems to have gone backwards in that regard.

Moir will be best as a stay at home FF. Isolate him 1 on 1, and you'll get a fair amount of goals out of him.

Yes, he can be a bit slack.
Yes, he can drop his head in the contest a little bit.

You know who else could fit into those same shoes? Fevola!
