Our desperation is showing by playing Kerr, who is way off the pace of senior AFL football.
If Kerr is off the pace, then McKay and Levi must be in Emergency for resuscitation!
I do worry when I hear our coaches telling us Kerr needs to improve his running patterns, I have to question their knowledge of forward play. Because I've watched Kerr closely and he's a mile ahead of our other KPF options when it comes to leading for the football. For that matter, SoJ is also well ahead of some of the other options, but he just doesn't have the necessary size, strength and pace to fill the role. At the moment our best KPF would be a Kerr/SoJ hybrid leaving Charlie free to roam upfield!
A game or two back Kerr was up and about but we either butchered the ball trying to deliver it, or we ignored him completely. Our ball carriers just couldn't bring themself to pull the trigger early enough, and it seems our coaches blamed Kerr's running patterns. Kerr must have been doing the Billy Brownless decoy forward role but without Carlton having anyone except Wright to fill Ablett Snr's job!
In the last McKay game I think Kerr and Charlie also played together. McKay repeatedly committed two mortal sins for an AFL KPF. Firstly, he took his direct opponent to the contest even when we had one on ones inside F50. Secondly, instead of competing overhead he roved leaving some smaller players trying to mark the football. He had zero marks on the day!
If you want to be the man, you had better be the man!
