I may have missed it but is McKay definitely out (concussion)

If that's he case it might be time to try Derksen up forward.
It will be intersting where he lines up tonight...that could be an indicator.

He came back on the ground he must have passed concussion tests, I believe they aren't conducted by the club they are conducted by an AFL Medic.

I got no problems with him being a grinder EB, as long he had others to complement....problem is that he doesn't look like main man type, which we paid for.  Real problem is the rest of the group are one paced or slow, and none are great kicks - Jagga doesn't really bring those qualities.  Walsh has elite work rate and Cripps and Hewitt are gun first handlers/extractors, after that A-grade qualities get real thin

Yep over Cerra, too much jogging behind the play but not in it, zero impact

Time to try George or Ben C or Coops.

Really worried for Smith...don't see why we gave up two firsts for a very small accumulating midfielder .

As poor as HOK has been, Derkson has actually been worsel

I'd presist with HOK, for now.

I think Derksen has been better
But neither have set the world on fire.

I was talking about Derksen as a forward as opposed to a defender.
He can take a grab and was GWS's leading goalkicker in the VFL a few years back.
Lets have a look at how they go tonight.

Flynn Young in
E. Hollands out(Managed)

add HOK for Harry as well. 

Maybe we can play Derkson as a forward.

In Acres Lord F Young
Out McKay E Hollands O Hollands

Ison isnt far off from a crack, ditto Cottrell.

Agree with Cerra and giving campo boys a decent block of games but think young Jagga is already being thrown out to the wolves and expected to be the man. He has played 5 games.

Did anyone see the vision of Cerra last week when he had no idea where to be at a ball up - it happened several times - if he an experienced player is confused God help young Smith to know what to do in the heat of battle. 

He needs time and hopefully with the new coach he is developed properly as he will be a star i think

Was thinking Ison, trying him out for Byrne.

Ison is half a foot taller than byrne. Hardly like for like.

Not sure Frankie goes around at his listed 6'0" either, but thats for another day

I'd bring in Ison for Kemp and think about Moir too...both have more talent than most on the list and both can kick straight.
Lord, Acres and Hewitt also as ins..
