I met him once. If he weighs 60kg I'd be surprised. Just a tiny unit - not just in height but he's built like a kid.

Yep, i was about to say the same thing.This is a day for hard nuts who win their own ball, as with that wind, the ball will be on the ground a lot.

Not Stratton's strength?That leaves them the quandry as to who takes the Guv and big H.....I'd play Kennedy - give Cuners a run in the 2s.And I don't think Charlie's form demands an instant recall but you'd think they'll play him....

Plowman did his job and was solid IMO. He's very good at helping the other defenders with smart running and positioning, it's very noticeable at the ground, but you wouldn't see it on tv. O'Brien shared the duties of managing Hunter (with Murphy), and did his job. He needs to influence games more, but he's very young so just needs some time, he'll be OK

Re: Pre-Game Pressure: AFL 2019 Rd 6: Carlton vs Hawthorn in Launceston Reply #149 – April 26, 2019, 11:17:49 am I'm thinking they'll give Charlie one more week to be fully fit and maybe bring in Kennedy with either Polson or O'Brien going out. On the Garlett point, said it all along, he's not a defender at AFL level. EB, what are your thoughts on a player, if any, that we might take in the mid-season draft....we have one pick available from memory? You wouldn't pick someone for the sake of picking someone but if it addressed a specific need. There's a young bloke playing for Perth in the WAFL (same team that Sydney Stack has come from) called Michael Bennell. Slightly older but has produced some electrifying stuff. Not a high possession player but regularly kicks 2-4 goals. He's actually not a small forward as he's nearly 6'2" but is absolutely deadly around the goals and has real speed.
