I think if Kerridge was to come in he should be played at half forward. He tackles and gets the football and by god we need anyone who can hold the ball in the forward line.
Besides getting murdered out of the middle, the Dogs got it out of our forward 50 far too easily. Hes also a decent shot for goal.
And don't let anyone tell you umpiring doesn't influence results. Aside from the the Bontempelli fiasco, it would be nice if there was some consistency with the holding the ball or incorrect disposal decisions. At critical times when we had momentum we got dudded on a few obvious ones and the Bulldogs got goals at the other end.
Dow's free when he put us in front was the only crucial one that went our way all day.
For me it was the defensive "handovers" that we screwed up on the weekend. They kicked a few goals from blokes on their own in the F50 due to sloppy defence and communication.
