If Harry’s attitude is right and is following team instructions then he’ll play, regardless of how many goals he kicks.
He’s got the physical tools, we just to make the call on what he’s got between the ears.
It’s a pity we haven’t heard from Kerr...

What's the hurry?
After all, it's up to the midfield to get its act together to deliver the ball forward in a coherent way in the first instance?
Yes I agree FB. We are still building both forward and Midfield structures and they need a bit more time in development even before they start to mesh and function well together. Signs are encouraging. Our defence is obviously our strength atm and that sort of proves that we can go through a process of development successfully. It's always important to remember that we are still going through pretty much of a total rebuild from ground up. I think we have the right recruitment and coaching staff on board now to successfully do that.

I think our midfield has huge upside - even from what we saw against St Kilda.
Murphy and Charlie doing diddly then SPS, Lang and Kennedy to add much needed inside and outside support.
All experienced players now and guys who know what it takes.....
Reckon Garlett should be given some time in the guts too - like SPS, a silky mover, finds the pill and has plenty of tricks....and turning 22 this year, has a mature body and excellent endurance.
But no problems letting Garlett find his feet in the 2s, especially given the shoulder 'injury'.
Have no doubt he, Lang and Willo will force their way into the 1s within the month of the season's start though if we're 6-0 and the current 22 is getting the job done, no complaints from me!!

Kerr's played the last two VFL practice matches, his first games since hip surgery! :o

This is the problem when you have professional sports commentators who have careers that are dependent on senior executives who are CheatsFC supporters!
The problem isn't the CheatsFC booster in front of the camera, the problem is that the boosters know a CheatsFC corporate sycophant butters their bread!

My point was that I haven’t seen any headlines about how well Kerr is traveling, it would be helpful if he was providing some competition for a spot in the seniors, don’t you think ?

Like the front page March 1st news story on the club's own website, the story explaining his injury, recovery, an associated illness and then his eventual return to competitive football in the pre-season drawn match!
Nah, haven't heard a thing!
But given this bloke was able to hold down the 2017 VFL 1st Ruck duties while carrying a hip injury I reckon he'll eventually go OK. Red heads, hard as nails!

Do the captains count as "pros" ?
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-03-15/captains-call-giants-danger-tipped-for-glory
Paddy Wow picked by 4 captains to win the RS. Next best was LDU with 3 captain's votes.
