I know a few of our backmen underperformed today but I think Hutch was probably the least impactful, having time and space and kicking it directly to Geelong players and then not providing much defensively with 2 tackles. I thought he should've been subbed off instead of Maric. But Maric being subbed off I think means McCarthy comes in for him next week.

OUT: Maric
IN: McCarthy

Go smaller in defence. Brock on Souva, Edwards on Maley, Ginbey on Darling.

We could maybe swap Williams to double-team Xerri, but I won't go there.

I'm not bringing Gov back in until either Eddie or Bock need to be dropped. I'm bringing in Bazzo asap. McCarthy probably gets a run. Whoever we draft and 1 and 2, at last one can start at half back.

Its a tough one for Cole but regardless of how he played tonight I believe the new guy is worth a look and I want to see how he works with Maric, imagine having 2 people in the back half who can use a football.

Reckon it could be time for a spell for Hutch, but doubt it'll happen. Allan to get a full game. Dewar or Long to sub.

Out: Cole, Hutchinson, Billiams
In: McCarthy, Hall, Flynn

Edit: Almost forgot my boy Bailey. Laters Flynn
 
I don’t rate Hall. I don’t think Hall can make it at AFL level with his skills and lack of defensive workrate.

There is no point in having kids chop up the WAFL if you won’t play them. 29 and two goals as a genuine pure mid. A good month before that. Get him in Mini.

In: Hall, McCarthy, BWilliams
Out: Hutch, Maric, AReid

Need two rucks against Xerri, or to approach it entirely differently and just concede but go small.

Hutchinson still yet to play 20 AFL games, might need to cool it a bit on the "why is he getting a new contract" stuff. There's a huge amount to work with there, just had a shitty game tonight despite getting amongst it a bit more.

In: McCarthy, Hall

Out: Hunt, Allan

Would consider Cole for McCarthy also.
 
Yep, 12 months ago I thought Harry was on death row, he is developing well and is effective. May not have a very high ceiling but only time will tell.
Harry's ceiling may be a standard 14 x maxibrick = 2.4m internal level. But someone has to play that role. And we're light on.
