Gov in for Levi, who just didn't come into the season fit and needs a run in the twos to get his confidence back. Good player when confident, not much use to anyone when not. Just means Jones or McKay would have to relief ruck.
That's a recipe for disaster!
I wouldn't be promoting McGovern on the basis of average form in a VFL practice match. I also wouldn't be undervaluing Casboult's contribution as back up ruckman and foil for Harry ... and he made a mess of a couple of Freo players.
I thought Dow was OK too and he was set up with a couple of hospital handpasses. I'd like to see Stocker get a run but, once again, patchy form in a VFL practice match shouldn't be enough to displace Dow.
