Young has to be in the frame, but he certainly isn't setting the world on fire in the 2's.
Do we promote Kemp on his game? It was certainly a good one. But who did he play against? Has he learnt from his blunders? Do we play him up forward if H doesn't come up?
Yes, Durdin was OK for his first game in quite a while. He was a bit rusty but his ball use is good and he kept his opponents quiet. We missed Kemp's spoiling and intercepts but not the errors that have crept into his game. He probably did enough in the Magoos to earn a recall but I don't know what aspects of his game Vossy wants improved. If Kemp does come back, it shouldn't be at Durdin's expense.
North tried to exploit our lack of height in defence with Larkey, Teakle and Comben starting forward and Xerri adding more height but our defence stood up well. Charlie's intervention was timely and capped off a pretty good game - nine marks, four goals and three intercepts.
