Charlie Curnow and McGovern possible ins.

Looks like Harry unlikely,
Charlie to probably play FF,
McGovern 50/50 depending on Harry.
My take on all that is:
Match Committee changes -
outs - Williams, Eddy.
Ins - Charlie, McGovern.
My Changes -
outs - Williams, Eddie, Williams, SPS (heart),
Ins - Charlie, Fogerty, LOB (Tagger), Kemp (wing)
Unfortunate that the backups are all injured. I hope that Harry comes up and the MC don't just pick him to throw off the Aints,
You really don't like Williams... you've dropped him (inj, I know) twice!!
;D

Surely McGovern straight back in after being out for nearly 10 weeks with a hammy is a huge risk? I'd rather have Kemp get a run this week.

I'd make McGovern the medical sub......insurance against a tall going down at either end of the ground.

What I mean my this is he sprints hard when he doesnt need to, he tries to jump over packs when he doesnt need to, he tries to kick the leather off it when he doesnt need to. All this does is:
1. Mess his timing up.
2. Strains muscles that can least afford.
In tennis, they use the term easy power when striking the ball, its all about fluent action timing. Gov needs to watch his brother and see how he does it easy with good timing.
I think he is a smart footballer, ala Whitnall. Just needs to be clever about getting to the right spots with out extended the muscles he has had issues with.

Just listened to the Weiters interview on SEN with Gerard W. Impressive. Intelligent, honest, forthright and articulate young man. And a shout out to Gerard for not only the sharp relevance of his questions but also the succinct way in which they were asked. Good interview skills are scarce in our horrendously over staffed sport reporting.
Then I flicked over and watched The TTs media conference. :-X

In recent times, Whateley has gone downhill IMO, but I agree with you - this is one of his better efforts.
Weitering has a Judd-like ability to articulate his thoughts coherently, and cogently. Neatly sidestepped a few questions.
Re: Pre Game Promise AFL Rd20: Carlton vs St. Kilda - WASurfer - 07-28-2021
Will be the next captain IMO.

I'd rather have Kemp get a run this week.Think Wilkie had around 20 possies on him till half time last time he played Stkilda......I think eased in maybe down back could be a good start for him. While no fan of his work so far I think we need to make the best use of him possible and a fresh start down back might help him get into form quicker.
