We have gone back to the defence we fielded in the prelim but with Williams in place of Cincotta. That seems to be Vossy’s preferred defensive line up and, to be honest, it worked OK in the prelim. We lose Young’s ability to mind gorillas and gain Weitering’s equivalent ability plus his generalship and capacity to play on virtually any forward. We lose Kemp’s contested marking and ability to run both ways and gain Marchbank’s intercept marking and smart positioning … provided he’s fit and in form.
I think we’ll win but not by as much as I was hoping for. A comfortable win but not necessarily a percentage booster. Zurhaar might be a problem ?
If that is to be our first choice defence, it does raise questions about Kemp and Young. Kemp attributes his improved, more consistent form to Vossy’s decision to have him focus on his key defender role. I can’t see that changing, or the dynamics of forward line changing so Kemp will be a depth defender, as will Cincotta, Young and Cowan.
