I think it's fair to say that Partington isn't ready but then again neither is Mutimer and, if we're completely honest, Duggan isn't either.
The fact is we play at least 1 young mid for development. If we're all about winning, Hutchings should take that spot. If we're rotating development a bit, Partington is our man and if we're hedging between winning and development, it's Kurt.
Personally, I think Murtimer could do with a week off (I don't think there's WAFL this weekend) since he's young and playing seniors in hard. After that one full game in the guts for EP to show off what he's learned and then back in line for senior selection.
