Midfielder Jack Redden and Jacob Hopper are out due to health and safety protocols and being managed respectively. One unforced change has been made with Harry Cunningham omitted and replaced at defender 4 by Taylor Duryea. Key forwards Jack Gunston and Ben Brown will both be making their club debut for Cradle Mountain. At 200 centimetres tall Brown becomes the second tall Tasmanian in the CMD team, joining ruckman Toby Nankervis (199 cm) in this category, Brown was recruited with a late fourth round pick at the 2022 ORFFA PSD. The Devils selected Gunston with top-up pick 15 earlier this year after being an under-bidder in a Gunston auction four years earlier during the 2018 pre-season.
You know, if one - just one - of my best seven mids was also a defender or forward, my team would be 60 or more points better each week. Roll on hoped-for mid season positional changes.
Meanwhile the new coach of Iron Knob @churchboy has broken through for their first win, and against traditional rival Foul Bay Chickens!
My semi-archivist's brain believes 1639 is a record. That is an unbelievable effort - bravo @snoz. And congrats @churchboy! Meanwhile, the Household Cup looks like it is going to be hugely one sided, with the Lilacs chugging along in second place.
Only just !! I dunno, each year I think the cd/sc scores are getting more out of whack. It’s becoming the lottery a little bit. Kind of makes me sad.
Who gives a shit. Get Stuffed @snoz Taylor Adams will be feeling the selection heat with his 52 the real news is that the Spelunkers are 2-0… hold the presses, we might be back. Whoever is doing the review this week should focus on this being the real news… oh wait I’m doing the review Seriously good score Simon of Oz
