Gov Walsh and Cerra should be available.
Be interesting to see what they do.

I really hope we keep Walsh on ice until next year.

Wouldn't mind seeing Cerra play, assuming he is fully fit and not just "fit enough", to see if his intensity lifts now that everyone knows Voss is staying.

E hollands going very well and very busy in the VFL team, it will be interesting to see how he runs out the game but I'd still give him two weeks in the VFL

Same; we all know he's easily talented enough to thrive in the AFL and far above VFL level, but it's all about proving his attitude's in the right place if he's to have any future in the league, and I think the VFL is the best place for him to restore that trust.

Apparently back from suspension next week but you'd think needs to come via VFL

Saad, Weiters, Carroll
Cowan, Young, Haynes
Acres, Cripps, Ollie Hollands
Moir, HOK, Gov
Evans, Harry, Williams

TDK, George H, Lordy

Fog, Wilson, Motlop, Durdin

Sub - Elijah Hollands

My 2 cents. Elijah is too good for the VFL. He has done his time. He looked fit in the VFL and has a natural tank, so he gets my nod for Sub.

If Lord has a run with role with Butters, I would have Ollie run with Rozee. Butters and Rozee are their Barometer.

Go Blues.

Agree with most of that, but I'd also consider Fantasia or Cincotta for one of Fog, Motlop, or Durdin.

Are you suggesting we give Cerra and Walsh a run in the VFL or just give them another week's rest?

Mmmmmmmmmmm good question. Not sure. If they are right to play then the VFL. My argument would be that playing them means the kids miss, so I would rather save them and get more games into the kids. It get they would both bring more than the kids do but we have to get games into the 20 year olds.

If Motlop or Fog missed for Wash and/or Cera I wouldn't be fussed. Motlop has been carried for most of the season, so I doubt they would drop him now. I would pick Fog over Motlop.

Motlop has played 60+ games and averages 10 possessions a game. Under a goal at game @ .8 and .4 for goal assists.

https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/pp- ... sse-motlop

Fog's stats are very similar. I know he had a few disappointing moments last game but Motlop has such a limited impact in games as far as I can see.

Regards Cazzesman

Agree with that except I would have Cerra and Binns in over Fog and Motlop . Don't give a shit about the balance coz that's been outa whack all year . Anyone can play defensive forward if they put there mind to it . Its not that hard . Just rotate Cerra and Binns through there and the wings . I like your run with roles Cazz . Lord and Ollie to Butters and Rozee and swap them around if that don't work . I also agree Elijah . He was freakish in the Magoo's yesterday and looks as fit as a trout . One thing for sure , he has been looking after himself whilst being played off . He looked buffed and toned . He aint been bludgin" . Geez I would love someone to get inside Elijahs head and sort it out .

Pick our best to win.
Both games winnable
If Walsh and Cerra are fit, bring them in.

Motlop is trade bait. Dropping him would reduce his value.

Lord stays in team v Butters.
Love Ollie v Rozee Cazz

Elijah. Didn’t realise he’s back last couple rounds.
Great news. Sub him if he’s fit and staying

Don’t give a shit about Gov. if there’s room, sure, but not at the expense of Carroll, Cowan or OKeefe.

We have to move past him and if we keep him, he has to be cheap, and depth only.

Would rather drop all smalls to keep kids and bring back experience to support kids.

We can win next two rounds.

Please win.
I’ll be getting up 6 am to watch this week. Better fkn win.

Question is do we see Carlton from the first 3 qtrs last week or the Carlton of the last 40 minutes. The former wr lose, the latter we win.
