Last post by crashlander -Still, do please vote. The opinions we express do usually lead to realistic impressions about how our side is going.
A good win tomorrow should see us jump North on the ladder on percentage.

Not sure I fully understand the preference of Derksen over L Young as Weitering's replacement but anyhow.
Yes, going with two KPDs with only 15 games between them is a risk and they will both be conceding height.
Derksen is quicker and more mobile and doesn’t serially hold up play as Young is inclined to do. Both have been playing well in the magoos and I probably would have gone with Young. Derksen is a riskier selection but perhaps more suited to the way we’re transitioning from defence.
Even with Derksen, Dean and Wilson, our defence is significantly more experienced than Essendon’s forwards.
