Said it previously on other threads regarding some of these points:
1. Curnow doesn't have the finishing skills to play as a permanent forward IMO...and he showed exactly why a couple of times against Richmond. His best role is and has been his ability to run all day and shut down an opposition player. Can't work out why it wasn't his role on Thursday night against Cotchin?
2. McKay gets brushed aside too easily in ruck contests and Ryder/Lycett will flog him and work him over just like they did to Gawn. Can't comment on his pre-season form as I haven't seen any, but Casboult might get a gig this week as purely the best option as second ruckman. Only issue will be what he does when he's not rucking as we'd have one too many talls...unless McGovern plays back this week.
