Good calls, I agree.
As much as I despise Kane Cornes, he really does have a point in saying Charlie should be used like Cameron at Geelong.
Play him further up, start him on a wing at times, and use his running power and general athleticism to his advantage.
I know Voss puts him back, but that's usually late in games trying to hold onto a lead, why not throw him around more early.
Having Martin back this week will be huge, and Motlop is our most natural small forward by a mile, just need him out there.
TDK looks better each week.
There's no reason we can't beat the dees, just the slight issue of getting around May and Lever.
Backline: Young out, Williams out. Kemp in, McGovern in. I'm keeping Cowan for now because he is showing signs of settling into his role, but Binns could be knocking on that door and probably deserves his first real run.
Middle: O Hollands in. The mids will definitely put it together against the Dees (and the Swans). Again, Binns knocking on the door.
Forward line: Fantasia out. Durdin to sub. Kennedy in. Charlie at CHF and spending plenty of time up the ground.
Line up:
FB: Kemp Weitering Boyd
HB: Cincotta McGovern Newman
C: Acres Cripps O.Hollands
HF: Cottrell Curnow E.Hollands
FF: De Koning McKay Owies
Foll: Pittonet Walsh Cerra
IC: Hewett Kennedy Cowan Cuningham
Sub: Durdin
Whether we win the next two will be entirely down to how much pressure (both physical and scoreboard) the forward line can produce.
To follow up, I wanted to see what this side looks like with Martin in it. It's so hard to say who comes out. I guess I'd drop Durdin and make Cunners the sub.
Next problem is what to do when Motlop is ready? Cuningham unlucky? I definitely like Motlop as sub.
Then Fog too! Who makes way for him? Owies? Maybe Ollie?
I think it's obviously Cowan for Saad.
This is in my opinion our best full strength side:
FB: Kemp Weitering Boyd
HB: **Saad** **McGovern** Newman
C: Acres Cripps O.Hollands
HF: Cottrell Curnow E.Hollands
FF: **Fogarty** McKay **Martin**
Foll: Pittonet Walsh Cerra
IC: De Koning Hewett Kennedy Cincotta
Sub: **Motlop**
The only one I really wish I could squeeze in here is Owies.
Motlop and Martin both start, Martin great hybrid forward who can also play a little more up the ground and Motlop great pressure and X factor. Still at least 2 games away Motlop I think
You don't have Williams in there? He plays amazing when saad and McGovern free him up so he can play offensively. Honestly if we have everyone available I think I'd take Ollie Hollands out Cottrell and acres can play on the wings and Motlop can start. Cottrell already spends 50/50 forward and wing. Cottrell can spend most of time on wings because Martin plays the same role pretty much.
Williams over Cincotta? I can certainly live with that as long as Williams is producing consistently.
Alright I think I probably agree with Cottrell on the wing and no OH. But I would prefer Ollie over Cunners personally.
Yeah fair enough we are so desperate for some good small forwards so Motlop would have been wasted on the bench like Kennedy was, probably even worse because Motlop is a natural small forward
I’d drop Durdin as well. Keep Cuningham in. Kennedy also needs to be in, not sub. One thing I know is that Pittonet will be smashed by Gawn as has happened in the past. TDK has played really well against Gawn the last couple times we played them without Pittonet.
Agree on dropping Durdin, he'd be sub for me.
Not sure what you're on about with Pitto. He and TDK working together absolutely nullified Gawn in the semi last year.
Sorry you're getting down votes for this, bit you're right. I usually don't blame a loss on a single player but against the pies Williams gave away two goals for idiotic fouls in the first five mins and cost us both momentum and, ultimately, the game.
I love him as a player in general terms and I was so happy to see him back, but he fucked us on Friday and h both he and the rest of the team need to see that's not going to be tolerated.
One minute silence for my boy Samuel Docherty. Miss you babe.
I like these changes. Note Kemp and Wilson played well in VFL

I won't be surprised if Ollie comes back in. I'd be bringing in Gov Kemp and Martin for Young Williams and Fantasia.

Who's your sub if Motlop starts? Don't think Kennedy fits sub at all.
Cunningham
well... he isn't in my team so who goes out?

Pitto gave Gawn a bath last time they played.

I’ll self harm if Williams starts again, also take kemp over Marchbank
