Bring in Everitt to preserve his trade value.

Sadly Jones is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Great VFL player who will never make the grade. Harry is just biding his time.

That's right and that's why he should be maintained and played because Harry will be good, but not yet. Jones is the stop gap, like a number of others who will be superseded, but not yet.

Put Big Harry on the MCG and give him a taste - if he gets 5 touches whats the big deal thats what Walker and Everitt were dishing out anyway....and now thats what Big Cas is dishing out now.

Seems that the MC are very reluctant to play Jones or KJ except as last resorts. Be interesting to see what happens this week.
Reality always wins in the end.

While it would be good to see both Mckay and Cunningham run out in the seniors this year it does run the risk of putting a young player who might not be physically ready in the game. Both have had injury riddled seasons and with the added pressure of the AFL you'd want to be sure they're ready. They may get some good development out of playing, but with where they're at in their careers they'll benefit more from an injury free preseason that allows them to hit 2017 at their best.

Describing Jones as a great VFL player is generous - he is an honest trier at VFL and AFL levels.

If Jack Silvagni can get a game...and assuming no other injury concerns....then McKay and Cunningham should be given a taste.

Korchek had a pretty quiet day: Minson ruled the rucks from the stats. However, his only mark and kick really counted! Nothing like having an impact! :)
5 possessions for Clem Smith. :( He got senior games last year. Doesn't look like it at the moment.
Kerbatieh had a quiet one: 10 disposals only, but again, one that really counted.
Live Long and Prosper!
