The side does look a little stronger this week, but the midfield is still the issue. Anderson did a good job last week and Fasolo did time in the middle, but we don't have real mids to deal with our ruck 'dominance'. Stocker is a good 'in'.
Owies was emergency for the seniors last week, yet is on the bench this week in the VFL! For that matter, Cottrell was last week after being Emergency for the seniors. Kiss of Death?

Looks like Deluca is replacing Dow, who is ill. So a bare midfield becomes almost empty.

[Robblues]

Sad to see Kerr out, really hoped he was going to kick on this year, has he missed his slot?

[Jack Burton]

Is Kerr injured?

[crashlander]

Is Kerr injured?

Yes. Not sure how long he is going to miss.

[Jack Burton]

Does anyone know what the injury is?

[DJC]

Does anyone know what the injury is?

I believe it’s a shoulder.

[Jack Burton]

Thanks DJC, hopefully its not a bad one
