The MC stuffed up when they picked the team for last round and they did it again this round.
West Coast have gone with a smallish forward line and our six defenders in the 18 match up quite well, but who is our seventh defender? If it's Sam Durdin, who does he play on and how does he walk straight back into the 22? Kemp and Stocker are well ahead of Durdin and both are better suited to playing against the West Coast forwards. If we persist with Newnes as our seventh defender, the West Coast small forwards will have a day out.
Owies coming back into the 18 is a no brainer but how does Hayes get a spot in the extended squad? His form in the magoos has been average at best.
The bench is likely to be Cerra, Corey Durdin, Fisher and Newnes, so no seventh defender. If Sam Durdin is the sub, it can only be that there's doubts about Weitering's fitness. I expect Setterfield to be the sub and that rounds out the weakest and least balanced team we've put on the park all season.
I hope I'm wrong, but West Coast looks stronger on paper and their form is improving ominously.
