Selection is head scratching every week, our reserves (younger newbies) must be doing nothing for Cameo Cunningham to get a gig. Ill guarantee you he will be largely unsighted tomorrow. But as long as we play our way, everything is hunky dory

Perhaps Kennedy only got a game because we didn't have anyone else....and we didn't wanna try LOB again.
On output, his performance was one of the most disappointing. So it makes sense from the last game.....perhaps a little harsh when looking at the bigger picture.....but looking at an even larger picture, he's lucky to be on the list and has never really lived up to the hype.
Whichever way you look at it, i like the ins.

Geez Kennedy must really have done something wrong at the club. Not the greatest of games by him last week, but gee. Williamson, fair enough. Really sad to see him drop away so much. Just wish we had've tried a few more changes. I can't help but look at a Sydney. Travelling pretty well, have lost 3 to injuries and still dropped 3. No dare from our club.

I think Kennedy will be medical sub again. He’s versatile, to a point and fill a number of holes. The other 3 need more game to prove themselves.

Teams for this week, as selected:
Backs: Lachie Plowman Liam Jones Sam Petrevski-Seton
Half-backs: Sam Docherty Jacob Weitering Adam Saad
Centreline: Jack Newnes Ed Curnow Sam Walsh
Half-forwards: Lachie Fogarty Mitch McGovern Marc Murphy
Forwards: Michael Gibbons Harry McKay Levi Casboult
Followers: Marc Pittonet Patrick Cripps Zac Williams
Interchange: Eddie Betts Matthew Cottrell David Cuningham Liam Stocker
Emergencies: Matthew Kennedy Paddy Dow Matthew Owies Will Setterfield
Kennedy was stiff to be dropped. He may not have had a big game, but he wasn't a total disaster. The only reason I can really think of is lack of pace. But he is stiff, no doubt about it.
Williamson probably needed another good game in the VFL, although he had a very good one the previous week. I'd wait a few weeks and try him in a few different spots. He needs to get some confidence up, because he isn't playing with much.
Setters is lucky to be the emergency. I was disappointed with his game. He may have had a negative job, but sometimes a player just has to step up, to make a difference. He couldn't, or didn't.
I don't think Saad or Docherty or Weitering can be 100%. I hate playing injured players.
Live Long and Prosper!
