I was very happy to see Nick Smith get a run. But if he failed (which I don't believe he did BTW) I didn't see it making any difference to our chances in 2008 whatsoever. Jesse white on the other hand...here is a kid that can actually have a real impact for us.
With Hall out we've simply missed a presence in the forward line, especially with Spida out. If he comes in as a backup for Jolly that is wonderful news. And if we can put him forward a bit that means we won't have to waste Goodes up there any longer than necessary.
Last week we looked a bit one-dimensional in the forwards without Hall. We never really saw a big bodied player in the forward 50 much at all. We had a lot of players of similar height, and "talls" like LRT, Goodes and Barlow were never really given a forward position and asked to stick to it. It'd be nice to have a guy on the list that we could stick up there for some serious game time (if necessary).
