But I do see the logic - TDK for Pitto, Plow for Polson, Cuningham for Dow and Owies for Edwardo. Baggers I wonder if Casboult is so "valuable" to the team because he is the ultimate swingman? If the ruckman goes down, he can hold the ruck. If a fwd goes down, he can hold down a key fwd post. If a Key Pos Defender goes down, he showed last year he can go back and do that also. Whilst I agree his form has been ordinary, he is a a rare commodity. Thoughts?

Owies deserves his spot. Been tearing it up in the 2's.
Plowman was only out because he was injured.
Cuningham was only out because he was injured.
TDK is in rotation with Pittonet.

I have to be up at 4.30am the next morning for an early client so not sure if I can watch it. Didn't realise it was an 8.10pm start.

Totally agree with comments re Casboult and his worth re flexibility and ruck back-up, even down back, but he has stunk the place up with his forward work in the past 6 weeks or so. He's a confidence player for sure and early touches will help enormously... but please let's not park him up forward - more responsibility for H and Brackets.

Don’t mind the ins. Need to develop a small forward. I would have like to see Josh Honey get more of a run. The last 3 are all best 22 for mine.
Would like to see Dow get more games but that would mean resting Cripps or Murphy.

However, in his media conference today he sure did say the right things and identify the glaring weaknesses needing attention. Like what he said about interviews with all the players and apparently, to a man, all players wanting to be a part of next year. A very good indicator. And I also like what he said about Crippa.

There is a lot of chat about Dow due to Diesel's comments.
I'd be more concerned about Pittonet being "Managed" just three games after having a week off with injury, and De Koning is back in, I worry that "Managed" might be quite a kind word.

If a player isn't playing well then managed = dropped.
