Cottrell, Dow and Stocker are very stiff and far from our worst
Agree, to a degree, Big 6.
Carroll was clearly overwhelmed but will benefit from the experience. Motlop was way off what was needed but will also benefit from the experience and realise what is required.
Unfortunately Stocker is out of form and just looks to need more confidence. Cottrell just didn't do his job well enough against the Dagpies.
Not at all surprised that Dow was dropped.
Seems Boyd has been recalled for a specific job. This kid has two huge things going for him... attitude and courage, as does Stocker but Stocks seems down on form/confidence. In time, hopefully, both will become highly effective players for us.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

He isnt dissimilar to Lachie O'Brien really. I prefer LOB to Amon every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Cottrell, Dow and Stocker are very stiff and far from our worst I don't think Carroll was panicky per se', I think he is just plain old slow with ball in hand and right now, unable to make decisions fast enough. More time in the 2s working on quick decision make and he'll be fine. Perhaps they need to say instruct him to play on instinct, if he messes up that's fine but do what your head says first time.

Re: Amon, got a lot of ball last night and is a higher possession winner than LOB and can hit the scoreboard.
Don't disagree his disposal was off at times but he was one of Ports best in a fairly poor standard game.
Would I pay big money for Amon...no way as he isn't my type of player but given our wings are a problem position I think Voss will be interested given he is a free agent and he knows him well.

In the first couple of weeks when Pitto was out we had TDK spending too much time worrying about the tap and opposition rucks, to his detriment. Once he'd relaxed into the job a bit he started to get around the ground and we saw some great results with joining the chain of play out of stoppages. In other words playing to and using his strengths.
I sure hope we don't make him too D50 focussed tonight, and we let him free to force the Cheats to chase him around the ground rather than have him tag a nobody.
I'm confident if we play to our strengths, the Cheats won't get enough F50 footy to worry us.

Good thing we’re playing Essendon EB ?
If things go as I expect, Boyd will be back in the VFL for the Richmond game.

Don't care if we loose every game after tonight as long as we
WIN TONIGHT.
I hate those cheating f#$$kers.
I'm confident that Vossy will have them in the right headspace and the 5 changes show that complacency will not be tolerated...
PS.... time for Martin to show what he has got....

I can see a CFC team wide cobra recoil if we're challenged and what better pack of mongrels to earn a response like that.

I feel Stocker is the right man for the backpocket long term and needs to be persevered with rather than in one week out the next week through injury, form, suspension etc and he never seems to get a clear run. Likewise if you are going to play Boyd then play him for a series of games. Obrien isnt my favourite player but has improved with consistent game time, reactive selection to a loss
has seen Dow dropped again, thats not development imho.
