Dang. A good defender who can also play as a good mid. Not easy to find a like for like replacement.

Cincotta I suspect... where is Boyd at?

Surely we have moved past plowman. Only time I would maybe consider him is If we lost Newman as we have no small defender option but he is no replacement for the role doc plays.
Is too shaky with one on ones and makes too many costly mistakes under pressure and doesn’t have the leg speed the running defender position requires.
Acres imo is a much better option for docs role.

Cerra and Hewett played in defence to allow Docherty midfield time against GWS and North. Hewett was OK but Cerra was very good. With Walsh, Kennedy and probably Acres coming back, losing Docherty is perhaps not as critical as it normally would be. I’d prefer him to be out there though.
Will the selectors bring in a defender or make do with midfielders that can play back?

Watching Plowman in the magoos made me think that the way he was playing was very like Docherty’s role.

There must be some unwritten rule that to leave the rehab group you have to find somebody to take your place.

I think Plowman has suffered because of the roles he has been required to play for team balance. He is too easily out-bodied against taller forwards which has led to too many holding the man penalties. He has also been required to play defensive clean up to allow other defenders to play more attacking roles.
Is much better suited to a HB role, which might be an option is Guv stays fit.
Is a better player than he is given credit for.

Gov as running half back to replace Doc
Kemp to replace Gov.
No to Plow.
