Whether Cerra gets up is moot.

Presuming Weiters and Williams are good to go, we will put out on the G a strong 22, brimming with confidence after dealing with GWS.

We would have to f... up pretty badly to lose this one.

Don't see Geelong getting close to beating us frankly.

As I mentioned earlier this week. DC is chance this week

The club released their injury update which clearly indicated Cerra was out for another week at least. Likewise Cuningham. Not sure how you think they're a chance to pay this week.

Why would you say that it just creates anxiety for a lot of posters here.

Interesting…

The 3 under an in jury cloud Weitering, Williams and Fantasia; We have direct replacements in the emergencies…

Weitering > Durdin
Williams > Cincotta
Fantasia > Binns

Binns > (the current) Fantasia.

 

[Soapy V]

Are we thinking Fantasia out and Cincotta in ?

Possible but Weitering is the concern

 

[Benaly28]

Decent ins for the cats

They are full strength bar Stewart

Love it.

Watching pre season and training recently. Both Kennedy & Cerra have/had been spending time rotating through HB and the middle. Adam also said he is likely to play there at times if our full midfield compliment is available

Like I said, that's what "I think"

Turning back the clock to the great WC side of the 90's midfielders in the middle and on every corner

because we have hedged our bets in selection, look at the emergencies. 2 days before we play and I think a couple are touch and go

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

Really happy with Cam Guthrie in.

Hasn't played since April 22 last year.

Cats veteran flagged for return after lengthy layoff

Cameron Guthrie has overcome his quad injury and is available for selection this weekend

[Kreuuuzeurns]

If Williams, Boyd, Saad, Gov are all healthy, you won't see many mids spending time in the back half, but the likes of Cerra and Kennedy do have enough nous to play in the backline if needed

Takes me back to early last year when Voss copped massive criticism for the use of mids in the back half, but versatility is gold

Cerra can play hbf well enough. Kennedy was no good as he was too slow and got dragged back to the goal square. The criticism was fair enough.

I wouldn’t be going into a game intending to play either in defence. It is something that should only happen if we have an injury down back or we need to move Gov/Kemp/Boyd up the ground to chase a game. There is enough depth for us to avoid listing them as one of our 7 defenders pre game.

 

[Benaly28]

There is no such thing.

We would have to f... up pretty badly to lose this one.

Don't see Geelong getting close to beating us frankly.

Cats are favourites, undefeated, with 22 of their best 23 playing. They won a flag 18 months ago.

I don’t think it would be a bad loss. I expect to win based on last week but we also can’t win them all, especially as we are at a tipping point with injury and fitness.

 

[Arr0w]

Cerra can play hbf well enough. Kennedy was no good as he was too slow and got dragged back to the goal square. The criticism was fair enough.

Didn't seem to be an issue last week, with a number of players out

Would the criticism still be valid?

I wouldn’t be going into a game intending to play either in defence.

Neither would I, as clearly stated

It is something that should only happen if we have an injury down back

Correct

or we need to move Gov/Kemp/Boyd up the ground to chase a game.

Possibly, but somewhat unlikely given we have ample weapons forward of centre

There is enough depth for us to avoid listing them as one of our 7 defenders pre game.

Never suggested otherwise

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Possible but Weitering is the concern

Would explain Sam Durdin’s sighting on emergency list !!

Just 1 week if he misses I hope….

Unsure why you’re so defensive when I agreed with 90% of your post.

I just don’t see Kennedy as a realistic option to play down back. You’d sooner put Hewett there who has actually spent a bit of time down back in the past and done it well.

Binns > (the current) Fantasia.

The weekly reminder that Binns has never played an AFL game.

Not defensive at all

Any of Cerra, Kennedy and Hewett could play a role down back if required, but don't think we need any of them to do so if Saad, Williams, Boyd and Gov are healthy

 

[bigblueboy]

I really don't get this mentality
If you're good, you play. That's how it works

Three hamstrings in three years.
