They might as well try and make a ruckman out of McKay, he might go better when he knows roughly where the ball will be because from what I've seen of him he struggles to get to where the ball is playing as a forward.
We've got nothing to lose, he's contracted until the end of next year anyway.
Polson shows a bit for sure, and LeBois at least seems to know where the goals are so he's ahead of a few of our smaller forwards.

Lebois showed a bit, as did Kerr. Harry is miles off, no surprises his brother is in the 2s also.

Encouraging signs until 3/4 Time. Then, despite north having 2 players down, we couldn't sustain a significant lead. Nothing honourable about it. Just inadequacies all over the ground in final quarter. Farewell to JGM.
Of our AFL Polson, Rowe, Flipper, LeBois, Kerr, DeKonig, Shaw, and Lamb were solid. If that's how if Polson's game is representative of his commitment, I see why he got a call up, particularly with our mounting injuries.
Other than That, our club's starting 2018 in worrying style. A turn around is needed soon or the problem will snowball.

There's a part of me that says if a lot of these young guys are the future...let's get them playing together and developing a bond and understanding.
If we're going to go down in a screaming heap this year let's do that...and get the 'future' working as a team.
Whether that's at AFL or VFL level doesn't really fuss me.

He doesn't look injured to me, he just really struggles to make position or have any real impact.
The way it's going we'll still be saying he needs more time in 2025.

Loads I'm with you. If we want to give the youngsters games together, this might be worth a shot. As you say it's not like we're looking competitive.

Harry has ability, he should be playing seniors instead of running around with bananas like Jessie GMac in the NB's, some players will never show anything in the twos but shine when they play seniors...time to find out and same with Kerr.
