Very interesting to see which way they go this week.
I think its time to throw Harry in with ACOS out. This leaves us a little thin down back, but I can't see them bringing in KJ who can play both forward and back.
You would have to think they will give SPS a game at Northern before bringing him back from a 2 week spell. But his pace would be handy against these blokes.
My main issue remains the structure and output of the forward line. Charlie, Fisher, Sumner and SOJ are at this stage cameo players only, and none of them are hitting the scoreboard regularly. Hopefully this will come in time, but at the moment we are very exposed due to our often poor defensive / tackle pressure inside 50. GC love to run off HB and we need to stop this run at the source.
I would think about bringing Pickett back in for Fisher - he does some nice things but he needs to make a real impact, which I don't think he can do with his size. Sumner goes ok, but doesn't do enough and doesn't hit the scoreboard. He has 1 goal, 17 disposals and 4 tackles in 2 games - that's just not enough at this level, and is pretty indicative of his career numbers as well. I'd rather they give one of the other guys a chance to see if they can do more in that role.
