Bolts has repeatedly stated that Charlie’s first priority is to learn his craft as a key forward. He is one of our most effective forwards, despite his inexperience. Our midfield needs bolstering but we would gain little by weakening our forward line ... and we can’t afford to play blokes who don’t get the footy.
“Allegedly” is the operative word. From what I have seen/heard, Harry won his spot on merit but Kerr is building up to challenge for a place in the 22.
Bolton said Harry wasnt ready to return to AFL senior footy after the North game but then ends up picking him vs West Coast, selection remains a mystery to me and Kerr could play any week regardless of form IMO.

I'd really only be thinking about dropping Garlett and O'Shea. Marchbank for O'Shea (after his quicker than expected recovery from the ankle injury). Not sure who should come in for Garlett, should be speed but I think only Polson could provide that...
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Looks like Marchbank and Kennedy are fit but Kreuzer and Weitering are still injured.
Marchbank in for O'Shea, obviously, like to see Cunningham in for Mullet, Kennedy in for someone too.

Some good ins there laj.
Surprised Weiters needs more time with a corkie but maybe there's a sokescreen there?
No problem with resting Matty K.
Marchbank a straight swap with O'Shea.
Kennedy for Lamb, SOJ or Garlett?
I'd like to see Kennedy play up forward a bit more - very good overhead, hard at it ala Hickmott and has footy smarts.
Great to see Lang fit and back playing.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Be good to see Kennedy provide more support at the coalface for Cripps and very happy if Marchbank displaces O'Shea.
Reality always wins in the end.

Very surprised Marchbank is back, just a week ago rumors had him at least two weeks away.
Word I had was Kennedy was also another week away, and Kreuzer was right but would probably be delayed. I reckon the MC has saw what I saw late in the game, and that was a very sore Cripps who would be unlikely to maintain that level of intensity, so they bring in Kennedy a little earlier than ideal.
Weiters is no surprise, corked early then corked again later in the same game, coupled with some bad luck maybe a bit unprofessional from us.

Bolton, in his post-match presser, responded to a question about team changes along the lines of having to watch the Northern Blues game first. It seems he did and judged McKay to be more ready than Kerr (Fraser gave both positive appraisals), a good call in my opinion. The latter will get his chance if he continues to work hard.

Marchbank in for O'Shea seems obvious.
Kennedy in to the midfield, but who goes out? I wouldn't be surprised to see Paddy Dow "managed" soon, maybe even this week
