I think we should give Palmer and Kerridge another week to prove themselves but they were our only 2 passengers for the game. Kerridge started to play better as the game went on. Kind of.

A win was fantastic but we played with 18 solid contributors yesterday.
Kerridge had 8 possessions including 4 clangers. Struggled in the wet conditions and IMO, was a surprise selection after burning the ball in the VFL the week before.

Palmer had 12 possessions with 6 clangers. Hard at it but didn't do enough.

Pickett had 11 possessions and 5 clangers. He's only a kid and deserves another opportunity but surprisingly for a skilled player, he struggles with the wet ball.

Daisy had 16 possessions, 5 clangers and was the only player not to win a contested possession. In fact he's averaging 2 contested possessions per game this season. Compare that to Murphy who has 37 contested possessions in 3 games, Ed Curnow who has 37, Cripps who has 34 or Gibbs who has 43. If we're going to carry players who cant win their own ball, we want kids who can at least use it when it's given to them.

I'd bring in Curnow, Graham and Polson. Polson was zippy and persistent and Graham deserves promotion after consistent form in the VFL. Pickett deserves another opportunity and retains his place.

You do know they play in different positions. Right? You name 3 on ballers 1 a lock down in Curnow. Dailey plays off a wing/high forward. He plays wide of the contest mainly and provides outside movement. Yes his pressure acts are down a little but we need to look at the balance he provides. I think he should remain in.

Yes, funnily enough some of us do understand Thomas plays wing/ forward. But I also understand that if a player is going to play an outside role, he has to be a quality user. So if you read my post you'll note that I've mentioned the others to show that Thomas is playing an outside game compared to Murphy, Gibbs etc. I also mentioned that if we're carrying players who dont win their own ball, they have to be good users.
5 clangers from 13 kicks is rubbish. Outside movement is useless if it invariably ends up in the hands of the opposition.

Thomas averages 67% disposal efficiency. That's nearly 3 effective out of every 4. 2 out of every 4 yesterday. Leave him in

I doubt it will happen, but I would like to see-
In: Cunningham, Graham, Smedts
Out: Kerridge, Palmer, Thomas

If Weitering needs a week off (concussion) then I would pick Jaksch to replace him, ahead of Charlie & Harry.

Why? KJ hasn't been listed in our best for the last two weeks. So what has he done to deserve the call up? Stick with Charlie for now.

I suspect they get the canteen lady to pick the best players list.
KJ was easily our best tall forward against Werribee.

Said it before and will say it again...as pissed off as I am about KJ not getting a game, I suspect he knows that he is being groomed to be one of our key forwards going forward. Maybe I'm just hoping but I think it's all part of a bigger plan to have him come in to the side,remain in the side and be one of our revelations in the second half of 2017

3/4 sounds heaps better than 2/3.

Did you notice the rain yesterday?
