Player Watch #41 Patrick Snell

[Heeney2Franklin]

Put aside the Snell frenzy of the last month or so (which, FWIW, is not limited to just on here - it's entire supporter base-wide at this stage, and rightfully so IMO.) This is the first time where we actually just need Snell.

I really don't want a back-line with just Edwards & Hamling (who I think should be a lock to replace McCartin) in it as key defender options. It hamstrings us so much. It gives us a lack of options if a certain match-up isn't working. It takes away from one or all of the games of Mills, Blakey, Serong if they have to play more contested. And it also completely stuffs us if one of Edwards or Hamling were to go down with injury and someone like a Georgiades got off the chain.

We need three keys down back, so the third available tall on the list could be Harrison Ford for all I care, we'd still need him in.

My god that would be diabolical generally running out of defenders!!

Did you have to use the word hamstrings ? Hampers, hinders, holds us back, anything but hamstrings !

When we have more experience around him in the backline possibly?

Snell and Edwards as your two keys against Georgiadis is a tad scary.

This week I would be naming Hamling.

(If Rampe was back I would be naming Snell).

Need both. Can’t go in without 3 key tall backmen.
Cupboard is so bare it’s scary.
****ing injuries
