Honestly would have preferred an underdone Kelly to Cameron at this point tbh. He has what, 2-3 games less experience?
Close...kinda...not really...at all actually

Or perhaps we're about to perform the ultimate bamboozle and play Grundy as our mythical "4th full time mid"
Stop being obtuse.
He wasn't playing forward in all of those games. He was in the ruck, and up the ground taking marks on the wing.
He kicked two in the game he played against the mob we are playing against tomorrow.
A game in which we were pumped and had fewer inside 50s than we will have tomorrow night.
He's well worth a shot

So flat with the changes made.
One area that needed improving from last game was our midfield and centre clearances, yet we have neglected that and gone with our midfield group which has struggled for majority of the year.
Instead we have selected a ruckman to play as a key forward, who off previous form has struggled to kick goals and take marks i50.
I really hope it works, but I'm not at all confident. I can already see wce moving the ball and transitioning from d50 to f50 with ease (if we win a clearance that is).

Every day of the week.
To be honest, I’d rather Rocco come out of retirement. Just plonk him in the square.
Mayne I can understand. Cameron, no idea why.
I mean, there’s nobody to come in. We have some serious list issues which are well documented and why we sit 8th along with a putrid setup/style

Could we have brought in Sier? Wills even? Tyler Brown into the middle instead of a wing? Or one of our small forwards and pushed Pig into the middle? Anything other than a ruckman?
My only thought is sier isn’t quite match fit. If he simply wasn’t selected then pretty much sums up our selections this year...
I think with Stevo playing degoey May spend more time mid

We’re going extra tall to try and upset their defence.
I think a left field tactic like that might be our only real chance of victory.

Is the fact that Darcy has actual form against our actual opponent totally lost on you?

Kelly’s not physically imposing enough at this stage, despite being the son of ‘Ned’.
Cameron can take a mark despite all his pitfalls.

Cox has to play 100% game time.
No need for him to ruck. DC can do that.

Not sure what everyone was expecting, the cupboard is bare. Mayne was always going to play given his experience. T Brown is young his time will come. People on here thinking Sier would make a difference, while he showed really good signs in 18' he has been injured and hasnt set the world on fire when he played this season, whilst the idea of him our next best mid coming in might have merit, he hasnt played seniors for ages off the injury. Would have taken a big effort for him to have any impact after so long out. Needs a preseason and a rocket up the arse because the talent is there.
Cameron in - its right to try something different vs wc. We need more talls to combat NN and their defence, i personally dont think Cameron is the answer but Reid is retired, Kelly has been out for months.
Very difficult to see us winning, hope the boys can atleast make it a game. As you can see by the ins, list management/drafting has been one of our biggest issues, and this game will expose the holes they have left us with, lack of a genuine kpf, genuine small forward crumber, a big body inside clearance mid and a winger with a bit of pace who can hit a target.
