Not sure if i would've dropped both Phillips and Casboult at the same time. If Kreuzer (not 100%) gets (re)injured....what then?
McKay/Curnowfides from the forward line disrupts that.
Jones/Rowe from the backline, disrupts that.
Personally i'd throw Oshea in as the sacrificial lamb and see if we can find a use for him, at present i cannot.
In any event, we've gone for a smaller side, which will suit the conditions on saturday.
If Kreuzer stays fit, this is a very winnable game. Bombers are not going well and i like the setup of this side. Only maybe the 2nd time all year i've been relatively happy pre-game with team balance.
re: OShea, watched him for Port play on the wing and he was BOG that day, his disposal wasnt such an issue like it is when he plays down back. He can get a lot of the ball and that day Port directed
a lot of ball through him. Its his disposal that got him the boot from Port and he doesnt seem to have fixed it at senior level, not sure he will be anything other than backup, I have heard he is very popular with the playing group and a coach favourite as he trains hard and follows instructions well......
