FFS it’s only a cork for weiters. He plays this game EVERY day of the week. Can we put the alternative scenarios to one side. Hes never missing this

He’ll play with only one leg if need be.

Binns might debut this week. Is ready IMO

 

[gbatman]

I'm a Sam Durdin fan. I reckon he will be a gun KPD if he can stay on the park
His pre season has been awesome and they have really managed him to get him over his injury issues.
He is calm, strong and I have seen him constantly beat Charlie and McKay one one one. Perfect Weitering foil.

IF he can stay fit I believe he will become a vital part of our defence. Fingers crossed

I was thinking he might be a chance. Has he been suspended? There has been no mention of why he has been missing.

Young is a spoiler. He's an athlete but he's not a footballer. He can come in and punch the ball away from a key forward and that's it. Decision making, ability to read the game, positioning etc is not there. He doesn't know how to zone off or when to guard grass or a man. He does things that are unexpected like spoil when he should be marking that put his team mates on the back foot.

Can't stand Weitering and Young in the same team, it just doesn't work. Durdin and Weitering would likely work ok. Young is an ok replacement for Weitering but that's all he is. He doesn't work well with the other defenders, if anything he disrupts the whole team defence because he doesn't get it and makes the wrong decisions too often.

Durdin on the other hand can do all those things but he is, IMO a footballer. Could we see him this weekend? I think we just might.

I'd be happy to see Durdin come in, get the feeling we rate him.

 

[ParapMarkets]

Agree tbh and same with Williams (who I don't think will get up anyway).

Tough ask for Durdin coming in (maybe) cold but prefer that to potentially creating a longer term injury with Weiters. Cincotta appears ready to go and should come in for Williams.

Is Williams missing this week?

Is Williams missing this week?

Zac Williams

Achilles soreness

Received a knock to Achilles on Saturday and was subbed out of the game. Availability: test. (Update: 23 April)

I never rated him from the games I watched him play for Nth. But that was a long time ago, I could say the same about Jones and he really blossomed. It would be fantastic if he could come on, key defender quality is certainly not a strength of ours.

 

[Dadda Dave]

Pitto!
Danger to come off second best…

That'll be nice

 

[Jimmyonesix]

When kennedy went back last week didn't see harry and TDK get in each others way and fwd line seemed to function - with TDK the true 3rd marking fwd..
what to do with Matty now do you play him solely in the middle off the bench as he can go fwd or back if in game injury necessitates.

 

[Opium]

Cats could bring in Guthrie, Rohan,Tuohy, and Stanley. Only one injured player Stewart

 

[DEliades]

I doubt they’ll bring in Guthrie from a long term layoff without a run in the VFL

Are you serious Sam Durdin has not even played a game this year, he is no chance at all for this week or in the Foreseeable future.

Young is a solid back up and is in front of Durdin, in fact l see Durdin not holding a list spot at year end.

Hope they do

Durdin is a great match up for Hawkins. No one can go with Cameron if he's on

Not coming off of almost a month off.

 

[Hands On]

Who plays on Hawkins, Cameron and Henry?

 

[charred_fate]

Young played on Cameron last year , Cameron kicked 6 but we still won reasonably comfortably. That's probably a worst case scenario. Doesn't mean that if it happens again we win but it's not necessarily doomsday.

Wasn't 6 on Young though. Cameron played one of the all-time great games against us last year - was awesome to watch. Think you just have to try and minimise his impact/hope he has an off day - we've not really got a good match-up for him (not many do).

If Zac misses Cincotta plays I think.

It was a while ago but most of those were on Young from memory. Maybe Kemp is quick / mobile enough to stick with him up the ground ?

 

[BigFrizz36]

Noticed that the club had a write up on Binns on the Web site this week. May mean nothing OR..............

 

[Accidental genius]

I have no doubt that if we bring last weeks intensity we’ll get the chocolates….

But…

Can we bring that insane amount of pressure week in week out? Particularly with injuries mounting.

There would have to be lots of sore bodies.

I guess cats had a big slog fest last week so they’ll be sore also.

 

[SOS Rules]

After last week I think our current line up can handle any team. At worst you think Sam Durds and Alex Cinc will come in. At least they are like for like replacements. I think Weiters will get up and they will choose to be cautious with Zaccy boy.

If we win clearance convincingly we deny Jeremy Cameron

and Co more chances to score and take some pressure of our defence. Of course, we'll still have to defend well when they have ball in hand.

Regardless, if we play like last week we win. Beating Geelong would give me just as much satisfaction as beating the Bombres or Colliwobbles. I'm a bit over Chis Scott and his band of ageing campaigners.

 

[Soapy V]

Cerra got through training yesterday. Feels good. Decision today. Wants to play

Fingers crossed he gets up.

He would make a world of difference.

Fresh legs and good ball user.

Really want to see Walsh/Cerra together again

No need to risk him. Give him another week.
