Assuming Harry will miss at least a week, who comes in to replace him?
Lewis Young is an option. He can clunk a mark and brings the ball to the ground. He should know our forward running patterns and he could take forward 50 ruck contests.
Then there’s Harry Lemmey. He has a similar skill set to Young but is more comfortable as a forward. I think that he’s probably a pre-season away from AFL standard but we’re playing Wet Toast.
O’Keeffe is very raw but he can clunk a mark and is a good set shot for goal. The VFL rucks tend to rest forward - O’Keeffe is often given a spell by Lemmey - so he would know our forward structures and running patterns. Probably too big an ask though.
We could just leave Charlie and Jack as our key forwards and go with the same structure as we used for most of the Port game. Binns or Hollands could replace Harry in the 22 or does Paddy Dow get a full game? I think yesterday’s effort showed why he’s on the margins.
I’d be tempted to give Lemmey a run but I think the MC will go with Binns.
Cowan in for Boyd (suspended).
