One of the biggest confidence sappers at the moment is H. Spectators are deflated by his misses, think how the players must feel.
Rather than dropping him to the 2s, why not acknowledge that he is not a forward and put him on the backline. His brother is successful in defence, why not Harry? At the moment we are trying to force a square peg into a round hole.

Only reason I could think of not playing him back is that they have tried at training and he is clueless (no disrespect intended)

My read of the 2's game suggests that's just what is being asked of Jack.
Here's a thought. H and Ben down back in 2024 ? Could be a cheeky way to mix things up.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

If Harry doesn't play then Charlie will be one out and have half the opposition hanging off him.
I'd get Matthew Lloyd in and working with Harry.....maybe his brother can arrange it and start earning his money.

I was trying to explain that to me daughter on our walk this arvo. She says "they have to drop H Dad". If we do that, unless TDK plays full time fwd, Charlie has to contend with May and Lever who will smash him from all sides.
Again, I said to me daughter the other day it staggers me that Brad hasn't asked Matthew to come in and lend a hand. Maybe there are contractual issue that prohibit it.

And after watching McG shirk contests again, chuck him on that list
Zero time for blokes that don't try and/or won't put their body in. That kind of behaviour is an anathema to us progressing.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?
