Surely Hartlett has to come in now - if we want to persist with a long-kicking marking game.
If we want a midfielder to replace him, then we're probably looking at Jackson - though he should already be in from some quarters.
Plays a very different role to Hartlett. While Fish does take a good contested mark, he's a very mobile player. We'd have to look at bringing in a more mobile player than Hartlett I think.
Agree Mordan, however, we lack big bodies in the forward line who are also reasonably mobile and can crunch some bodies. Fish can't, Harts can.
We already have Kennedy sitting on the bench for 60 minutes a match because we can't play all our talls at once. Replacing Fish with Harts makes us less mobile.
Fev and Kennedy are our big bodies who can crunch packs. It's not Fishers role, and nor should it be his replacements. At the moment, if you want Harts in, it's pretty much got to be Kennedy out. Rumours are that will happen this week. Hopefully Harts can make the most of his chance if it comes.
