Temptation is to play Harry McKay in the next NAB game with the view of playing him Rnd 1......thats probably on the basis that Jones, Gorringe or any other fill ins have shown nothing.....

Do we want to give Harry plenty of early experience or will it just knock him about.?...I reckon BB wont want to play him and will go one of his ruckman at CHF with Casboult at FF.....Gorringe is probably the player we would play at CHF IMO and wil also have a run on the ball with Casboult doing less ruckwork and staying at FF.

Dont see who ever we play at CHF expected to kick many goals but whose job will more to provide a marking contest and get the ball down to the smaller/mid sized players...

Jones is finished, just cannnot find a way to get involved in the game.

I watched Jones pretty closely in the first quarter. I'm pretty sure he thinks he's playing a game of cricket, fielding at long on.

Jones' work ethic & attack on the footy/player with the footy is actually pretty good and reminded me of how Aaron Hamill used to play.....only problem is he simply cannot get his hands on the footy for the life of him and that's the killer......

Exactly!

He reminded me of a human pinball the way he was crashing into opponents but he seems to have no idea about getting to where the ball is heading.  If he does get to a marking contest, hard hands means that he's most likely so spill it.

Could not possibly summarise that any better Phantom coloured Blue......our forward line is an unmitigated mess, non-existent & there's not another team in the AFL who can even come close to 'boasting' the forward structure we've got.

Casboult ran himself into the ground in the first 10 mins of the game yesterday & I said to my mate "That'll be it for today, he'll be too buggered for the rest of it".......and that's exactly what eventuated for the half he played.

*sigh*.......

Jaksch been injured as we haven't seen him in either game? I'd prefer moving him into a key forward post and developing him there. With the lower interchange numbers I'd like Casboult to do some ruck with Kreuzer. Don't really want two ruckmen on the ground, as none of them can rest forward, hence that's where Casboult is handy. We have too many ruckman. Kreuzer, Wood, Phillips would've been enough with help from Caboult. Wood's better than both Phillips and Gorringe. Didn't need the latter.

McKay will be in the F50 for the next decade if we can keep hold of him. He showed more in a few chaotic minutes than most of our forwards have shown since Fev left!

Not sure SOSOS will make it unless they can work on his pace, and Cripps has proven that can be changed. SOSOS looked slowish, but I concede that can also be a result of slow decision making. Point of contrast, Weitering is not super fast but never looked slow and he already has an AFL body. But skinny kids who look slow are really starting behind the eight ball, because they need bulk which is almost anathema to adding pace.
