I love it! Not only is the dud out of the side, but we have another tall to combat St. Kilda's timber (and help out our shortarses).

The question is, why weren't the duds out of the team earlier on in the season when there was still something to play for?

My only gripe is that we need to develop another small defender to replace Duncan and allow Newman some time in the midfield. This was obvious when Fremantle's small forwards cut us up last weekend. Zantuck on Medhurst?

Would liked to have seen Hyde given a shot at this sort of role in the remaining games. The fact that it isn't doesn't augur well for Hyde.

They should be playing Dragga as well so that they can have a good look at him before season's end. In the club's defence however they might be possibly waiting till next game at the MCG.

Other than that I'm pretty happy with the side named. If we could bring in Gaspar and Campbell for Dunc and Bowden then this would be pretty close my dream team for the year. (a fit Ray Hall might have come into calculation also).
