AFL Rd 17 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs West Coast

[kruddler]

The simple solution is replace like with like.  That is, rather than bringing Cerra in for Boyd, Stocker should have come in.

If Cerra really deserved a spot in the 22, he should have replaced a mid/small forward.

Weitering coming straight back into the team is a no brainer but he should have replaced a mid/small forward to restore the balance last week’s selections upset.  Any of Cerra, Newnes, O’Brien, Cottrell and Honey could justifiably be omitted.

If Kemp had to be dropped (I’m not sure why), Stocker should have come in.  As it is, we could be setting Ryan, Rioli, Petrevski-Seton and their Cripps up for easy games.

So in both examples, you wanted Stocker in.
As mentioned, i'm not sure all is right with Stocker at present.
I'm not sure if its on-field or off, but he isn't really in the frame for selection for one reason or another.
Take him out of it and there is nobody left.
