I reckon Cottrell is the only one who didn't have an impact, so Williams for medical sub?
Williams as sub isn't a bad idea but I think Cripps might struggle to get up this week and Williams would probably get picked to replace him.

Doing the ladder predictor, giving us the winnable games, hence losses against Geelong and Port, I have us 7th. Last game between Carlton v GWS decides who gets in of the two.
Bad news is that it relies on me getting 9 winners every week, which hasn't happened for a few years. Also relies on us maintaining a decent attitude to football for the rest of the year, a huge ask in our case. Steal a game against Geelong or Port then it puts us in a good position as i'm sure we'll manage to lose one of the more winnable ones.

Williams comes straight back in. He was very good when moved to half back. Think Cripps is in doubt.

Percentage, if nothing else, will kill us. But keep the faith brother

Not flashy, wont kick a bags of goal but will kick truly more often than not when he gets an opportunity. He can learn plenty from Eddie, as can Fish and Fog (although I think Fog could be a decent mid).
Owies is a different type of player as is Fisher IMO and I'd like to see Eddie with a permanent apprentice like Durdin in the team who he can train up and fast track in the art of reading the play and creating for others...its the latter bit that makes Eddie so good IMO.The little tap ons, kicks around the corner when under pressure that find a man and knowing when to zig and not zag when you have a stoppage. A lot of it is natural talent like Cameron has anyway but Durdin has the raw tools with pace and nice kicking ability but just needs Eddie to teach him some smarts before Eddie gives it away.

He uses the tap on very well.
He has the baulking ability, the agility and the creativity.
Will he ever get to be as good as Eddie Betts? No.....but nobody really has in 125 years, so i'm not expecting him too.

Where does he want to play??
Not many other options for him.

True, but Cottrell is still the only player who didn't have an impact. None of the 22 deserve to lose their place but you can't mount an argument that Cottrell should keep his on how well he warmed the pine.
