Hes got pace and a good kick of the footy.
Theres a common theme emerging though.
The loss of Docherty has turned our entire defense, from chocolates to boiled lollies and I wonder what impact him being back in the side will do to it.

Tend to agree...just cant stay on the park either...

Tend to agree, about Byrne.
But sometimes getting pegged is the result of team-mates not doing the right thing, not presenting or not blocking, not that would be us! :
We don't have any show runners do we, I thought that game style went out with Bartlett?

I rate Byrne, I reckon that with another 20 or 30 games under his belt he'll be a beauty.
Pace, balance, skill and he's fearless, if he can only get fit and stay fit.
Unfortunately that seems to be a problem.

That's the key...if he could find some consistency of game time he could be very good.
With Docherty gone he would probably have had some additional responsibilities this season...but if he cant stay on the park he's not much use to us.

Wait and see Lods, but we signed him for another two years when he was out with his knee reco so someone at the club sees something in him.
He's one out of the box if you ask me, but I thought that Yarran was also and that didn't end well.

Kerr and McKay
If they stay in...we have to work this smarter.
They can't be flying together.
Kerr is probably a more traditional full forward...let him start in the square and provide multiple leads.
He seemed to be well up the ground at times on the weekend.
Let McKay station himself around 40-50 out as our main target.
Give Charlie a roving commission and we could have a hard to match up on forward line.

x2...Not many teams have three taller defenders, Kerr needs to be persisted with.....Curnow, Mckay and Kerr might be the edge we need if we can get a decent midfield together.....
