Can’t Dirksen play back or forward wouldn’t he be ideal for that spot
Looks like a good fit to me, Frank. Bit wary of the Dees baulking at the final hurdle, but I’d at least bring him in for a trial.
Jacob Koschitzke is another that can play at either end.
Maybe the change in personnel will see Lewis Young return to form & we’ll all have egg on our faces.
I was overseas for the last 4 games of the year, but watched the games a few times each when I returned. I was actually impressed with Young. Do I trust him? No. But I feel he's good insurance, but not the bloke I want to rely on from the get go in 2026. We will need Lewis at some stage because we don't have cover for injury to a KPF or a KPD.
Personally I'd like Derksen to be trialled and selected. He's listed as 194cm but he's actually a 197cm swingman.
I'd like a 2nd KPD to take Fogarty's place, like Philips or Blight, not so much Frost, but then again I did say I'm desperate, but we have Lewis Young for that.
Fogarty will be delisted end of 2026, and I can't see him getting a game TBH with Ainsworth, Smith and Evans moving ahead of him and Motlop, so why not try and fill a spot at CHB till HOF returns in 2027?
