The backline always looks messy with no Weitering steering the ship and its that balance between rebounding and defending that a few of our players need to get right with the exception of Saad who seems to get it right most games and is rarely caught out.
He works his butt off, has a bit of attitude and generally hits his targets. Winning that free in the forward pocket and nailing the goal was reward for effort.
I didn't have him in my best 22 but EB reminded me of the job he did on Bailey in the prelim. There's definitely room for improvement but, on form, he plays against Brisbane in Opening Round.
Id be playing Boyd round 1 but the KP spots with Young and Kemp are more of a concern for me and I would have liked to have seen Sam Durdin play seniors and see if he could be an option.
The Harry McKay second ruck idea is a interesting move and Im not sure if it benefits TDK....Harry was good around the ground and looked happy to have some freedom and agree he was our most valuable player but where does this leave the Pittonet/TDK setup? Can both play in the same team now and Im only so so on TDK as a forward and Im thinking I wouldnt have minded him playing down back like his brother at Geelong and giving us another option as Young has looked shaky in both games I have seen him.
