I think Cincotta has to play, kicks well both feet, has leg speed and can take a bump, still get up and carry on and I like how he plays close to his man which Is what I look for in a defender.
If I was looking for a player to drop it would be Cottrell, he is handy and does some good stuff but has been a bit ordinary of late and with Fisher and Dow coming in and doing ok it probably puts him under pressure for his spot if we want to bring all our injured regulars back in who helped provide the catalyst for our present run of success.
I could also see Dow losing his spot but being made the sub, good position to be in having choices but we will have some unhappy players...
Fisher vs Boyd.....might depend on the opposition for me, the former is now the incumbent and his ball use had been very good since returning but as MBB pointed out we are going to need some defense being played and we cant detract from Saads game by making him play too deep and on extremely dangerous players and then expect him to provide his usual drive.
I would play Cuningham and Fogarty and having McGovern in for Marchbank is a no brainer imo...
Jack Silvagni looks like missing out in favour of Harry now being back plus the coaching box being happy with the Pittonet/TDK ruck combo setup....Id be finding a spot for Jack but I dont see the MC making him a priority and the success of the Owies, Martin, Motlop and Fogarty small forward setup has probably dented his chances of selection also.
Might be the farewell game for Ed Curnow this week too....
