Polson is your second favourite?
What do you like about him as a player? Genuine question

Some players seem to have no luck on the injury front
Cunners seems to be one of those....

Agree Harry should play as much possible in the forward line. He’s not a Ruckman.



I remember we played Josh Kennedy in the ruck a few times and I was furious. Why do we do this?

We drafted McKay as a forward, he’s never rucked before. Plain and simple....... don’t play him as a ruck! :banghead:

We have 3 tall forwards, we can't play 2 rucks. Not sure how slow you want us to be. We never do any good with 2 rucks. That works horribly for us. McKay is doing what many forwards do, rucklng a few min a qtr. McKay does well up the ground. That's the game and he's just right for for that role.

x2. Can’t stand it when we play 2 ruckmen. A second ruckmen has to be real threat up forward to be worth considering. None of ours are

What's up with Kennedy and O'Brian? Not mentioned in injury report.

The 21-year-old was involved in a collision during a training on Tuesday afternoon, with scans confirming he has a bruised kidney.

Cuningham is expected to be available for selection again in approximately three weeks.

It seems the coaches want O'Brien to work on his game in the seconds, can't understand having Polson before O'Brien. O'Brien is more versatile and provides another midfield option.

Can’t understand Polson at all. Honestly didn’t think he’d get a game this year let alone in round 2

I feel for Cunningham but he appears to be one of many on our list that struggle to get on the park.
Durability of of list is affecting the whole team and the extent of it clearly shows its a concern when the next best replacement is Polson.

1 game down and the depth is stretched

Phillips, Polson and Gibbons in the same team are worrying.
Let’s hope they have a good game and prove me wrong.

Im not loving playing 3 tall forwards, let alone adding another tall.

The above debate clearly shows that our list is still very unbalanced.

Despite reports to the contrary the rebuild is not yet complete

Can’t and don’t regard Curnow and McGovern as talls. Simple arent KP size even if we play them there.
