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..

Given that Harry is out, it might be a good time to bring Ison in. Not as a direct replacement, but it'd allow others to shift one up. So Kemp could be Harry and Ison could be Kemp.

Same logic could be used on Moir who we'd likely get more of a return from.

We need to keep checking in with Moir often to see if he 'gets it' yet, because the moment he does, he'll turn games.
I'd be going hard on him in the off-season getting his running up a notch. I'd like to see him get to a stage where he could give a chop out in the middle/on a wing and rest forward. We could use his skills further up the ground.

Thats a lot of changes EB, cant see that many being made. Fark it I'd do it thought, nothing to lose.
I'm going youth GTC and trying to get games in to talented players but you also need some mature support. Eg Acres isn't the future, has slowed up but is still a smart player and more capable vs better players.
Ison and Moir have talent and I'd be changing the forward line up to more of a medium and small ball lineup.
Keeping Byrne in the team too he has talent and rather go down by ten goals developing players than by five trotting out the same tried and failed every week.

Bit over Kemp and to a lesser extent Harry.
I want to try something different , thought Hayward played his best game vs the Pies and worked hard and I'd be wanting same from Moir with Ison my more stay at home forward.

Harry was playing his best game for some time IMO......but its also a pretty low bar.

Harry gets way too many concussons for a bloke 200+.

I can't see him playing out his contract with us. Still has 4.5years left.

Trade him to Tassie

Agree, he is draft capital and we need to rebuild. His performances are inconsistent and as you say  his concussions make his future uncertain..
