I don't think fitness has much to do with it.  To quote Captain Blood, "He keeps getting where the ball ain't!"

Play him as a defender in the twos for a few weeks, that'll fix him.

Fingers crossed that H finally gets a gig.

You'd think that the I/C would be Cuningham, Williamson, McKay and Graham (Emerg: Armfield, Boekhorst & Smedts?).
Agree 100%. May as well let him play out the year now. I may yet be proven wrong but guys like Graham, Smedts, Boekhorst, Sumner etc don't seem like they will be part of the future. Harry, Willo, Cunners and Macreadie are most certainly apart of bigger and better things.

Has all the attributes, seems to be a mental thing. Wells wouldn't have selected him with a first rounder otherwise. Hopefully some continuity without injury will hold him in good stead moving forward.

I agree with you. I think he should just be given some continuity in the team - perhaps play him more as a forward [where he started]. I think he's got talent, he just seems to be a guy who doesn't seem to know where he fits or what his role in the team actually is. Tell him he is in for 4 weeks and just back himself to play well.

Aside from his numerous injuries this was the problem with him at Geelong - he just couldn't find a position and settle.

Play him forward and hope he kicks a few goals and gets his confidence back up. It's not like we have a stack of goal kickers who are shooting the lights out!! He's a better bet that Sumner and much fitter and versatile than Pickett. Fisher has been going ok, but he needs plenty of time to develop physically and learn how to hit the scoreboard.

No choice.

Injuries hit, players need to get a game. If everyone is playing crap, a crap player will get a game.
