Daniel Kerr

[Magnum27]

Needs to become our permanent small forward when he eventually gets back on the field. The guy is very smart footballer and would have a birthday up forward crumbing to our talls. Time to leave the midfield to the young guys, his body is shot, maybe give him 10 mins here and there in the guts.

No need to keep killing him each week. But of course knowing Woosha this would require making a change to his structure, so not likely to happen.

Mmmm, I believe you as your avatar has such a luxurious and trust-worthy mo

We have too many pure midfielders in the team and not enough mids that can go forward and kick goals, Kerr isn't the answer, drafting a dual position mid/forward is a start

 

[JackOutback]

Not a bad idea...Masten was good yesterday and needs to spend more time in the mid and less time across half forward. Swapping Masten and Kerr, with Kerr getting the occasional run through the middle, could extend his playing career.

But we don't need Kerr in the middle any more, i'm sure he could master the crumbing role quite easily.

It's a short term solution but something to consider for the rest of the season.

We're getting to the point where depth players like Hutchings are going to offer as much as Kerr in the guts despite their limitations and Kerr's fitness is a liability.

However his seniority is useful and he knows how to crumb, so perhaps playing him as a small forward will allow him to get the most out of this season.

 

[Marlin01]

As per Erbenz, plus he could do short, high-impact bursts on the ball.

 

[mulburnboong]

What about as a sub? Or why not both?

 

[Natho]

Chuck him in a pocket. May aswel develop hutchy and these kinds of blokes. Kerr will admit his body is almost shot.

Not again lol

 

[East coast eagle]

Yeah why not.

 

[Chris_6678]

He does have a knack for kicking freakish goals...so yes i agree and we should leave him in the forward pocket and then get him to drift into the midfield to change it up a bit.

 

[dajesmac]

God I wish he was fit and firing.

 

[jaxxon]

He's never been a massive goal kicker, I'm not sure he would be dangerous enough to justify that spot. His best position is in the middle.

this is true, high forward perhaps

 

[Gerald Preston]

Think it's a great idea. Woosha really needs to start trying new tactics. Kerrs speed and footy smarts will be utilized in the forward line...give his body a break...apply some defensive pressure and give our future mids more time in the guts.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Would rather get games into our young players up forward. If Kerr is done as a mid, he should retire.

Give Lecras a rest.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Give Lecras a rest.

Oh by all means do it as a short term measure this year, but I don't think Kerr playing next year in a forward pocket is worth consideration.

 

[Marlin01]

I'd consider it for the first half of th season. If we're in the hunt keep it going (assuming it's working) if we struggle it'll be certains for Kerr full stop I reckon.

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Kerr is a gun when fit that is why he still gets tagged he has at least another year if managed well ! He also takes the tag away from shuey and gaff when he is playing ! Don't think we should put him in the fwd pocket just because he is small . He probably doesn't even want to play in the pocket he looks happiest getting picked up from the bottom of a pack after getting smashed !

Agree with this. Back in the day when he was fast and could break lines, sure a forward pocket would have been fine.

But nowadays, i think he's too slow for that position. My all time favorite player, but i can't see him having much of an impact anywhere besides the mid. And even his mid impact is starting to decline.

One more year for Kerr IMO, manage his games next season and use him to mentor the new eagles in the mid.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

i like the idea.

This sums up why I think it's only a short-term solution at best.

 

[PRANKSTER666]

It has been said his knee is a weekly proposition, i.e. at his age he is all but done. Sad but true.
