    Why can’t Keath play on McKay? Like we put our best & most mature tall defender on the oppositions most dangerous tall forward?

    I know Keath isn’t most suited to this role, but he’s the best we’ve got

    We can't just keep bombing the ball into the 50 and expecting marks from Naughton and Bruce, we have to hit targets.
    There was at least one occasion where it had nothing to do with the kick.

    I don't understand, frankly don't care.

    I just want the players to stop bombing the ball in.

    The instances I'm referring to when he was on the lead and ran under the ball... it was all on him, not the kicker.

    That one incident was really really bad. But it's far to say it was an anomaly with Josh.

    If Lew Young gets dropped after one game for not performing to team expectations, KPI’s or whatever you want to call them, then the majority of our midfield should’ve missed a lot of games too over the last few years with their lack of intensity/defensive running etc etc etc.

    Seems like different rules for different players to me.

    Harry wil kick 10 but by geez, Cordy will compete and make it hard for him.

    Tend to agree, two games in wasn't enough of a chance for Young and he needs a few games to find his spot.
    We won't develop taller youngsters to provide KP depth if they are just yo-yo'd in and out a few times each season.

    I think that is the most likely match-up and Keath will have a huge challenge with him.

    In his first game back Young had 17 possessions (yes I know getting the ball in a footy match is so old school) 15 teammates had less.He also covered ground well forcing opposition wide. He also was third in marking behind English and Naughton. I thought he was one of our best, dropped after 2 games because the match committee could not resist pulling out their old playbook from 2018/2019. Looking forward to seeing the non performers from Friday get the chop. It will be a queue a mile long if there’s any justice and not just players!

    No matter what anyone says that game was dead by 8pm Thursday.
