Still you would think with the experience of Saad, Newman, Williams and McGovern someone else would be taking up that 'role'.
Anyone stand out as the 'director' in Weitering's absence?
Newman.

In: Binns, Weitering
On notice : - Cunners, Hollands, Cottrell
I'd be shocked if Binns were to be selected ahead of Holland or Cottrell, both of whom have shown much more.

We'll certainly be a lot fresher next round reading this.

Newman does too, but I see him marshalling the troops down back. Realistically there is usually one setting it up, and weiters is normally that one. Newman I think performs that role well.

A few interesting headaches for the MC. I'd say when ready:
Motlop in for Fantasia
Weitering in for Young
Martin in for Cunningham
Walsh in for Kennedy
That leaves Elijah, does brother Ollie ironically make way?
Elijah could come in v North for Cunningham I guess but the other inevitable changes still have to occur.

I'd have him straight in if fit. Can't be any less productive than our smaller forwards at the moment.
Yes, forgot about that.

McGovern has been quite vocal and directing players of late. Growing into the role nicely. Newman was already there.
The (re)introduction of Weitering in that team with those 2, and veteran Adam Saad makes for a very solid group to work from.
