2 games to go, I'd like to see a couple of players get a run.
Out: Jones (inj), Lang (Omitted), O'Brien (Managed), Fisher (Omitted)
In: De Koning, Owies, Stocker, Kennedy
Thomas, Weitering, Plowman
Simpson, Casboult, Newman
Setterfield, E Curnow, Murphy
J Silvagni, McGovern, Petrevski-Seton
Kennedy, McKay, Owies
Kreuzer, Cripps, Walsh
Int: Stocker, Gibbons, De Koning, Deluca
De Koning to play 2nd ruck when Kreuzer needs a rest, but also to be the interchange for any of McKay, McGovern or Kennedy, or even for JSOS with Kennedy moving into the midfield. I prefer Levi as a KPD instead of Goddard based on his current form so that's another reason for bringing in TDK. Kicked a couple of goals in the VFL on the weekend. Look at it as Goddard vs TDK in terms of first team impact and the future.
Owies has earned a look and is just taking Lang's spot. Lang has been okay in terms of pressure and the ball hasn't come in very well to him, but he does get brushed aside fairly easily and probably isn't running to dangerous spots as much as he should.
We have definitely lost some run with 3 of the 4 outs. LOB looks to have dropped off a little on his very good performances not so long ago. It's a long season and whether he rests or gets a run in the 2s with his mate Paddy, that's up to the fitness staff. As much a victim of wanting to see a couple of others get a chance as he is form.
Fisher is just nowhere near it at the moment. He's just as likely to do something good if it's dry, but he's still intent on running around the opposition, rather than through them and it can be a little bit of a momentum killer at times.
Stocker only lost his spot due to injury so I'd like to see him as part of the midfield rotation this time.
Kennedy plays tall up forward and hits hard in tackles when he doesn't have to patrol the whole ground. Can rotate with JSOS if necessary. Is also a beautiful shot for goal and we certainly need those. Only needs a couple of straight shots to have done his job really.
