When you get taken at pick 15 by Stephen Wells from Geelong, plus factoring what I've seen with my own eyes, I'd say he's well worth persevering with. Just stay on the park, please. x2

SOJ is a more versatile player who can take a mark, play as a crumbing forward or have a run in the midfield or defence. Daisy is probably a better like for like replacement for SOJ.
Kerr. from what i've seen could play the 2nd or 3rd tall role. Ability to read the play and lead up, as well as take a strong mark, make him a good replacement. uses it well and his vision is outstanding. Like him in as our 3rd tall next week if SOJ is out. I see SOJ generally as our 3rd tall forward. like many of those types in the current era he has the ability to tun through the midfield.

Personally I would prefer to see Kerr in to replace SOJ, rather than Jones/Jaksch. It would be a great opportunity to give him a run in the seniors and see how he goes in the lead-up fwd role - he looks like a very handy kick for goal. Agree that Jones/Jaksch would be more likely to replace Casboult if needed. Anyway, SOS may yet play.
Reality always wins in the end.

Im not sure that Alex Silvagni will play this week either.
Last week, he was given a specific role to play on a dangerous swans forward.
The Pies don't really have that sort of player in their forward line, and our starting back 6 all season has the right sorts of numbers in it, to match up with Collingwoods regular forwardline.
It will be interesting.
Ben Reid will come back in this week to help out their talls.
We will see.

We will see. After a performance like Saturday's, you cannot help but play him.

While I agree we should have a horses for courses policy.
How would dropping ACoS fit with BBs "Players are picked on form!" declaration?
The media would have a field day, the playing group and their managers would lose trust in the coach. It would be the like the bad old MM days, when he publicly claimed he defends the players before roasting them in the media!

Would be good to play on Moore.
Silvagni will keep up with him, and apply plenty of pressure.

Reid will be back as well, another good match up for ACoS.
