It would be a travesty if he wasn’t!
He is versatile enough to come on and make a decent contribution as a sub for medical or tactical reasons.

Hope Charlie kicks a bag on that tosser Jones. Worried about the ruck. I hope Young doesn't get used as the number 2. Think that has impacted his game significantly. Poor old JSOS to carry the load. Otherwise happy with the ins and outs. Interesting that Honey didn't even land in the emergencies. He'd been playing so well :

"How the hell am i supposed to tip your game this week?"
As if i've got an answer to that!
I responded with something like the following.
If we pick TDK, don't pick us.
If we pick Honey, don't pick us.
If we pick Kennedy as the sub again, don't pick us.
If any of the above happen, we have learned nothing.
We have been too slow, too tall and picking too many non-contributors.
We need to fix these things at the selection table if we want to move forward.
Will we win if all of the above goes the way i suggest? Who the hell knows, but it will certainly help.
Well i got my wish.
Now as long as Kemp (or Curnow) is the sub, i think it gives us the best chance of winning.
Curnow because i think its a good idea to rotate through the mids (as in Kennedy previously) although i think he has been underperforming so happy to give him a week off.
and
Kemp because he is a good sub to have as he can play multiple roles.......and it allows gives us a replacement if we lose a ruck. That is, he can cover Young down back who can take the ruck.

Kemp out? He was a lot more solid than Young!
He is hard done by.

Kemp the sub?
Meanwhile how did Van Rooyen get off that and blokes get done for tackles?

Bit worried about Pitto solo versus English, English will potentially run Pitto into the ground if we don't get the load sharing correct. Young might need to be up for a big game, I note TDK is missing again this week with concussion protocols!

In any case, didn't the concussion in the VFL come after the alleged incident?

In any case, didn't the concussion in the VFL come after the alleged incident?
1. TDK rested/managed
2. TDK thinks its smart to go down the coast drinking with his brother and many Geelong players whilst being "managed".
3. Club plays him the reserves, following drinking incident which the club were apparently told about, and gets what appears to be the slightest knock.
4. Ruled out with concession for the last 2 weeks.
So he has "concussion", I also think there are other reasons and right now, I'm leaning towards him being elsewhere next year.
