Tough on Motlop I know.
Motlop over Cowan as sub only because he is a goalkicker and can kick a few quickly and be more of a game changer.
I was torn about Cowan in or out, but in that team there is no full functional replacement for Saad or Boyd, which is part of our D50 issues, but at least Cowan can partially cover one of them. So I was swayed to go with Cowan.
I suppose it's the difference between picking a best and the team you'd pick to match up certain opponents. When we start considering who we play against, then Martin, Marchbank and Pitto enter considerations, along with Motlop. But it will be a week by week issue.
A month back, would anyone have put Williams in F50 ahead of Martin or Motlop?
