Agree. Its fair enough for Dow to be forced to make room for Cerra or Walsh but not for Kennedy unless Dows form drops.
We are on a knife edges in terms of balance in getting the speed v contested players that run through the middle right and reckon having Hewitt Cripps and Kennedy all in at once when opposition teams get a run on is just too slow.
One of our main reasons we have got on this winning run is we are much faster across the ground and thats mainly due to the younger blokes holding down positions.
Dows no speed machine but he has that in close acceleration and side step that gives us that spurt out of congestion when games are close that i think is a massive plus.

A beast with elite running.I probably dont fancy Cottrell on better credentialed players for 4 quarters and see Cuningham as more of a classy match winner who can kick and create a few goals quickly and Id want him on the ground to start the game for that burst you mentioned and help get us off to a good start which is important.
Cuningham works better as a burst player.
Same reason why i had Hollands on the bench and not as sub.
Keep the elite runners on the ground for longer, then you get more benefit from the sub who would otherwise tire more by comparison
But its all a matter of opinion and Im happy for both to be in the 23 at the minute.....

Docherty plays midfield so Fisher will play. Hewitt misses out, as does Hollands, and I have Cuningham in. Dow and Kennedy have made the most impact as the Sub so due to injury I have Dow in.

Hewett was good last week when Cripps was down....I'd definitely have him in the 22.
I like Kruddler's line up....but maybe Dow in ahead of Fogarty. Fog's been really good but Dow would be very unlucky. Regardless, I can't remember the last time we were talking about who to include and who was available, and who to leave out. If Kennedy is fit, then it's pretty much only Silvagni and Williams unavailable.

We need to get as many in this week as possible (Gov, Cerra, Walsh, Kennedy, Fog), last chance to knock out the cobwebs and tune up for finals. Dont want to be doing that week 1 of finals.

How fabulous is it to be discussing our changes in preparation for FINALS...
This time last year we were losing players at a rate of knots. The players returning from injury were out of touch. Eventually culminating in missing finals by an infinitesimal measure.
I'm so excited and still pinching myself. I have got our club song playing in my head when I get up and when I go to bed. Best bit. it doesn't bother me a bit.
Go Blues.

Cuningham's endurance is good. He's more than a speedy player. Probably still rusty after such a long time out.

He might well be another that comes out flying after the week off!
Assuming he's 100% over the hammy, who the feck would want to stand Walsh after he has had a few weeks to freshen up and grow hungry at this time of the year. Somebody must be having nightmares about this, ready to throw up their ring I suspect, like standing a desperate Robert Harvey or Craig Bradley, you just know they are going to make you hurt. Even at my peak I'd be crying for mummy before 1/4-time! :o

There’s going to be some unlucky players among those named on our extended bench.
It’s a nice predicament to have but hard on those who miss out just the same.
Re: AFL Rd 24 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs GWS - townsendcalling - 08-24-2023
Strong line up even without Doc.
My bench Cincotta, Pittonet, Fogarty, Fisher
Sub Cuningham
Missing out: Hollands, Marchbank, Durdin
