The tv thing was a furthy.
Leave it in bullcrap land where it belongs.
Read the article on the second to last page in the HUN about why Harry isn't playing.
He isn't working hard enough, isn't applying enough pressure, isn't contested marking, and isn't scoring heavily in his last few outings in the VFL (scored 1 goal from 3 games and averaging about 12 posessions and less than 1 tackle a game) AND he hasnt played much footy over the last 5 weeks because we have had a couple of buy's in the VFL.
The club has pointed to his limited preparation and lack of pre season for reasons but those numbers are pretty damning.
If we play Levi after dropping him and him not having a VFL game the match committee's credibility would be shot.
McKay or Kerr surely must play, who knows what we'll do if the other three don't come up.
They all play in the back half so I can feel another O'Shea and Mullet coming on.
Im not sure. I think a 100 gamer getting dropped gets the message, without necessarily having to go to the VFL to redeem himself, particularly considering the personnel available to take the available positions.
That being said, I think its time we played Kerr, Mckay or Lobbe instead, but I still think Levi can come back in, and whilst he wasnt very good against Port Adelaide, Levi straightens us up and allows Curnow to go roaming in ways the others don't.
My bigger concern is whether or not Simpson comes back in. If he plays there is no way that last debacle occurs. I dont think we can afford to play without him.
