Dogs without English are vulnerable and Pittonet should cleanup the kid Emmett in the ruck. Don't get the odds on the game either, Dogs have struggled recently and rely heavily on Bont to be BOG every game.
Players know now it's judgement time and careers are on the line moving forward and I expect a sugar hit lift for this game and give us a good chance vs a flaky Dogs lineup.

the odds reflect that we dont want to win and we are likely to continue imploding.

Our line-up:

B:   14 Oliver Florent   23 Jacob Weitering   26 Nick Haynes
HB:   24 Nic Newman   35 Harry Dean   15 Billy Wilson
C:   32 Matthew Carroll   9 Patrick Cripps   6 Zac Williams
HF:   19 Will Hayward   11 Mitch McGovern   30 Jack Ison
F:   17 Brodie Kemp   10 Harry McKay   12 Ben Ainsworth
R:   27 Marc Pittonet   5 Adam Cerra   18 Sam Walsh
Int:   2 Lachlan Cowan   29 George Hewett   7 Jagga Smith   4 Oliver Hollands   44 Francis Evans
Em:   45 Flynn Young   36 Cooper Lord   47 Wade Derksen

Voss, Austin or whoever, I don't really understand our Match Committee far too often. Nichevo.

[1] I like Frankie Evans, but he has struggled for form this year, Yet, do we replace him with a guy who has been in good form? No. By the time Flynn Young gets a game, he won't be in form any longer.

[2] Similar with Adam Cerra: he has struggled to make an impact so far. But he still get a game every week.

[3] Who do we have to put on Bontempelli? He usually feasts on us, because he don't put someone on him.

[4] People were on Kemp's back last week for his worst game of the year. But he has been one of our more effective forwards. His kicking, on the other hand, has been excremental. He has lost game for us by being unable to score from kickable positions.
Do we play him in defence? His kicking for goal doesn't matter then. But who will kick our goals?

[5] Having Pitto as an only ruck is a risk. I hope he gives Emmett a bath, but if he doesn't? There is nobody else.

[6] Is Zac Williams fit? He seemed to be struggling to me. I know Saad was injured, but I would have been tempted to play Charleson, who is quick and has been playing well.

I thought Ison was overdue, so I'm not unhappy, I hope he gets enough of the footy that he can show what he can do by foot.

Charleson had a great VFL game last week, but it was against kids, he needs to attack the footy against some bigger boys in the same fashion before I think he is ready.
