Kerridge was ripping it up when given the chance late last season.....and had better DE than both Smurf and Gibba.
Makes no sense to have Dow running around in the 1s like a headless chook when you know Kerridge will get you 25+ decent possessions.
Dow and Polson need to earn their spots.
Quite frankly, would prefer Sam to Murphy right now.
Don't agree. This is not the 80's when you need to play 100 VFL games before your AFL debut.
Dow is going to learn a lot more from Cripps and Kruezer (when fit) in a AFL then he will in the VFL. Kerridge will offer more in the short term, but playing him and Graham stops getting games into talented kids which will benefit the team in the long run.
Look. In short our list is pox. It's really bad and unbalanced. How we started favourite against the Suns amazed me.
Have a look at our 22-26 year olds. The guys on your list that should have reached 60-100 games plus and are consistent in thier output.

Cripps and ???? Plowman. Doc of course. No need to back the truck over the wasted draft picks, but our core is made up of recycled players and very little talent. This in the group that should be stepping up, not Dow, SPS, Fisher, Polson and Cunningham who should be showing signs of improvement.
