There a few options that can make way for the above, chose from:
Martin
Fisher
Boyd
Owies
Newman
Plowman
Fogarty (I had really high hopes for this guy but...)
Isn’t it amazing how it’s plainly obvious to most supporters but not the inner sanctum.
Some may say that’s because we’re less informed or don’t understand what the coaching panel is instructing the players to do (and there is truth to that), but I also think the players personality, charisma, friendships have an impact.
On that basis, Plowman’s personality must be off the charts!!

On that basis, Plowman’s personality must be off the charts!! He is probably a great clubman and much loved among the group (players and coaches). He is probably an outstanding citizen also. From my point of view though, what I see is someone who lacks confidence one on one, when he gets isolated, you can almost see the error coming before it happens (a fumble, a missed spoil, leaves his man when he shouldn't etc). He often gets given (or maybe puts his hand up for) a dangerous small fwd and again, to me he looks like he panics more often than not. For me, bottom line is he is not a defender. I don't know where he played his junior footy, if it were up to me I'd find another role for him.

Oscar doesn't, but he is honest, he can take a nice mark and you can usually trust his kicking. A certainty when we player teams with bigger forward lines. If Port do have a smaller forwardline, surely OMac is a better pick than Young?
Omac is shorter, quicker, more agile and thus, surely more suited THIS week than any other week.
Also, it'd be a good test to see if his body is up to it. We could cover him if its not. Rather than risk it in a more important match.

He was pantsing Young (and kemp) in the pre-season. Deserves another crack.

Young was good against the Hawks but looked shaky last week for sure. I'm surprised he wasn't given a run in the ruck last week.

Pittonet + Parks are named in starting 18
Plowman, Boyd and Cripps will miss this week.
Fogarty, Fisher, Setterfield - very lucky.
