Since Young has played we have kept WCE to four goals and St.Kilda to eleven, we have struggled against tall forwards all year, why would you not play him. McGovern is always a worry physically and Young can take the centre square rucking duties when required.
I think Moir, Lord, Binns and Owies won't play, hopefully McKay, McGovern, Curnow and Williams will play. Cerra, Docherty, Martin and TDK would have to demonstrate they can get through a game. Boyd won't be ready for a couple of weeks I believe.
Kemp has a long way to go before he comes close to demonstrating that he's a forward. Perhaps he will with a full pre-season working on his forward craft and goal kicking. However, I'd leave him as third tall forward if we get Harry and Charlie back, provided he can keep out of their way.
I'd also leave Young in the backline, particularly with Daniher, Hipwood and the Big O. Our defence has looked better balanced with Young in the mix and he seems to have freed Weitering up to get more involved in intercepting and transition.
