We'll lose - picking him is going in with one less player.
The kids only 19 granted but shouldn't be picked on form or output....madness.

O'Brien will be ok in a couple of years but he's too small right now. Why not Kennedy?
European Race walking Cup is on. Lots of people I know in it so the footy will come 2nd today. An on and off thing.
Given the opposition and the fact they are on the rebound it might not matter. As long as they don't beat us by 100pts again while playing the last qtr with 16 men.

One thing Jack Dyer used to say all the time, "no good being where the ball aint".

LOB doesnt contest well enough at this stage and is very outside which is fine if you hit your targets and help create for others but he doesnt do the outside well enough to
compensate for his lack of inside game.

Baffling. Yes, Cuningham is quick and LOB is quicker than Kennedy but ...but... :

Surely garlett is a better alternative to lob at this stage.

No, Garrett is more of the same. Kennedy is the obvious one to bring in.
Kerr must be close too, been BOG for the NBs in two games and has a bit of crap in him.

Garlett is another player who isnt contested material and along with Lebois needs to be moved on.
Pickett at least can win his own ball and is a robust enough player but not robust enough to stay on the park unfortunately.
