Phillips works hard buts has only had 20 touches in 3 weeks. If you're a 2nd ruck you have to give something up forward both on the scoreboard and applying defensive pressure, the latter not the domain of a lumbering ruckman. Much better with a smaller runner. McKay's capable of relieving now. If not Rowe might fill-in.The minute Kruze rucks alone without Flip, he will break down with his groin, nothing surer.

I don't think it was a failure last night...neither had great possessions but it wasn't a disaster either.

Get him and Harry working together, thats development....the goalkicking needs to be Mckay and Kerr leading the way, not Casboult and Wright....
Kerr is the closest player we have had in terms of giving us what Fev gave us on the field.....
He'll have to get a game, almost by default, given the Bolt is out....
And I agree Kerr has earnt a game too!

Kerr for Casboult, Weitering for O'Shea, Polson for Phillips, McKay can give Kreuzer a chop out in the ruck.
Maybe Lamb for Graham as well but that's a bit of a nil all draw.
Essendon's strength is their run and spread, if we go in top heavy they'll cut us up.

I've heard mixed views on Kerr's mobility. Some say he's a straight line type of operator.

He's no better or worse than Levi or Taylor Walker.
Where and when you run is just as if not more important than how you get there!

Let's hope so, but one week injuries tend to morph into a month at the CFC.
If he's back then Graham can make way and there's no need for Lamb.

He looked pretty mobile in the last NB game but I have to admit that I haven't seem a lot of him. Regular NB game attendees maybe could cast more light on this but he looked very good to me.

The media has flogged the bumbers today, calling them soft, won't tackle etc Sounds like motivation via the fifth estate. Thus, I expect them to not only throw the kitchen sink at us for the win, but to attempt to physically lord it over us, especially our kids.
Any bloke wearing blue will need to be very prepared when they cross the line next Saturday afternoon... and I expect us to push back just as hard.
