It looks like Wilson will play. He took a couple of games to get going last year. Hopefully it's not straight in and then out again.
Tough assignment first up.

I think thats a much better balanced team.

I would like Harry to get a gig as 2nd ruck when required. Get him up into the contest. Cripps to help out in the ruck as well.

Extra midfielder vs 2 rucks should help minimise the fade outs.
.....but we are against the best side in the comp over the last 3 years, so may not matter.

Just seen Vossy on the news. His mood at the Gabba was bouyant! Maybe knows his papers are really stamped and he will be released. Free at last ! 😁

Baffles me too. Much rather see Cooper Lord to Cerra.

Our line-up:

B:   35 Harry Dean   23 Jacob Weitering   26 Nick Haynes
HB:   2 Lachlan Cowan   14 Oliver Florent   42 Adam Saad
C:   4 Oliver Hollands   9 Patrick Cripps   32 Matthew Carroll
HF:   12 Ben Ainsworth   11 Mitch McGovern   44 Francis Evans
F:   7 Jagga Smith   10 Harry McKay   17 Brodie Kemp
R:   27 Marc Pittonet   29 George Hewett   18 Sam Walsh
Int:   15 Billy Wilson   24 Nic Newman   5 Adam Cerra   6 Zac Williams   19 Will Hayward
EM:   46 Matthew Cottrell   30 Jack Ison   47 Wade Derksen

[1] I don't like having 1 ruck, when the opposition have 2, but Reidy struggled to make an impact last week. I hope H and Crippa can fill in the gap, although I do see this as a weakness. Pitto has struggled late in the games this year.
However, we don't have a jumping ruck. At least HOK is starting to take a few marks again, but he isn't there yet.
[2] Lord ... I would probably have played him over Cerra, who has struggled this year. Our MC appear to think that Cerra is the future, but he has really lacked a spark this year.
[3] I'm not disappointed that Cottrell was dropped: he hasn't hit form yet. He does seem to take a long time to get his form back, which is disappointing, as his disposal is really good.
I think Wilson had to come in. He's been so hot lately. We usually wait until guys lose their form before we promote them: I hope we haven't done that again.
[4] Nice to see Ison close. His possessions number seems to be increasing most weeks, as his kicking is a weapon.
[5] I will be interested to see how our midfield lines up. Certainly, we struggled there for most of this year. It will depend on how Pitto goes.

We don't match the lions in any area but their half backs eg Zorko normally annihilate us.
