I just don't rate Kerridge GTC. He is a very fumbly and frustrating player with erratic disposal. I think we've seen whatever we are likely to get from him already over plenty of previous games. Personally I prefer Army but he was also pretty horrible in his last game. I'd give Palmer another go though at this stage.

110% agree Cookie, wasn't suggesting for a minute Kerridge was part of our future. I was also going to write that he played out of his skin last year early on then faded badly in the second half of the season. The future is SPS, Willo, Marchy, Plow, Weiters, Doc, SOS, Macreadie, Pickett. Then there's CC (when he pulls his finger out), Fish, H, Flippa (when he gets back from injury), Byrne, Sheehan. All these blokes will keep Kerridge, Army and co. out of the side much sooner than we all think.

Yep. We'll see some exciting talent emerge this year for sure.

Off topic, but Hurley gave Weitering a pat on the arse when he came back on the field.

Was a nice touch.

Hurley was a nice kid who has developed into a nice guy with a much better haircut - has always played with more than a little aggression though. I had hoped we would draft him; he only had to last for one more pick.

Weitering's far from our number one player and Simmo, while a favourite son, isn't our spiritual leader.

We'd miss both, but not as much as we'd miss a dozen others ... and that's a good thing!

We'd miss Murphy and Cripps more.

No change this week I'm tipping.
Weitering should be OK to play, Kerridge and Palmer were both average but deserve another chance on a dry track.
Pickett is only just going but there aren't any small forwards in the VFL crying out to be picked, and even though he hasn't done much what he's done has shown some polish and flair and he has genuine pace.

Reckon Pickett will get one more chance on the dry ground at Etihad, I think he is a very skilled player but at the minute is more of a cameo type who needs to make more of his chances.
Gallucci was ordinary vs Port so I dont see a quick promotion for him, maybe a fit Jed Lamb might challenge Pickett for a place but I prefer we keep getting games into Pickett as he has more upside.

On Lamb and Sumner : tough gig playing small forward for cfc at the moment.
