Professory, we've got them well and truly covered. Our ins (with the possible exception of Lobbe or Phillips) are quality replacements.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Covering the ground is about the only thing he's doing better.  I'd consider dropping him for garlett or setterfield.

I don't really understand the role he is supposed to [or can] play now that we have Walsh in the team? Walsh and Murphy have played on the wings for most games, and it often seems like he is no mans land with his positioning in general play. I wonder how much of that is coaching and not understanding what his role is?

He probably played his most important game when we played the Dogs and he had a run with role [with Murphy from memory] on Hunter. He did a good disciplined job and Hunter had very limited influence. I can't for the life work out why we didn't get him to follow that good performance up last week with a similar role on O'Meara [or Wingard / Shiels].

I would give him a job this week on either Higgins or Polec. He's not a big possession winner so if he can hold those guys to less than 20 and get 10 himself that is a big win for us imo.

If Higgins and Polec get 20 or less we win by eight goals.

Was he even that good on hunter?

We really got a hold of them and they weren't able to stop our talls.

Hunter got it 18 instead of his average 28 odd.  O brien touched it 7 times.

If we had another player getting 25+ and hunter got his 28 odd, we'd have actually been further ahead on the stats sheet.

Hard to disagree.

Given Garlett seems to be doing little in the 2s, hard - very hard - to justify his inclusion at LOB's expense....

For mine:
Out: Kreuzer, McGovern, Simpson, Newman
In: Phillips, C Curnow, Garlett, Schumacher

That is based mostly on Williamson and Stocker both not being match fit and ready for AFL

Charlie (auto in), Phillips (we need a genuine ruck even if a battling one), Setterfield  (did enough to warrant coming straight back in given no-one knocking down the door in the 2s) and (subject to being sufficiently match fit) Williamson (quality player) for mine.  If Willo not considered ready then try Stocker if he is fit enough - if not then Schumacher.  No to Garlett - has not done much in the 2s after being putrid in the 1s albeit played out of position, no to Lobbe unless Phillips doesn't come up for some reason.

Kennedy is far ahead in the craft learning department. Why does he have to improve his game in the twos when O’Brien gets to work on his in the big time?

O’Brien might be the better runner but he lacks match smarts and strength. I’d rather see Kennedy run less but collect 20 possessions working mostly in the packs helping Cripps than O’Brien gathering 10 possessions running all over the park.
