Yeah I would be happy to see him come in.
We definitely need to develop a tall target and to be honest if you look at any tall forward worth anything they developed in the afl , not the seconds.

It's definitely time to start trying out Harvey so we can at least get a benchmark of his progress and see how he handles AFL level footy. Hell maybe even think about putting Butcher back in for a last ditch 'sink or swim' shot. The season can't get any worse 
Schulz' time is over. He's done a lot of good for this club but his ability has fallen off a cliff this year. He will not be part of our next flag, if we try to push reset and go again next year with him as our only proper tall forward we are taking the piss. We need to plan and implement a new forward line structure NOW or we are behind the 8-ball again.

With what ken has shown us there will be no way he will get a gig, kens inability is running right through this club something has to change as he has lost the plot imo.
Harvey should play.
It won't effect the result - all the fumbles, missed tackles, sloppy kicks, panicked decisions of his older teammates will instead.
But we do need a glimpse into our future key forward stocks.
Right now I'm desperate for us to use our top 10 pick for a key forward, but also mindful that our midfield leaves much to be desired.

It's time to develop this man. 1-2 games in the AFL would be worth more to Harvey then half a year in the SANFL. Show him what it is like, show him what he needs to get too. Worst case he fails. But with Sydney and collingwood why not just give him a go

Couldn't do any worse than poor Reddo against the Swans. Might actually take a contested mark and chance in front of goal.

Because we can't even drop Hartlett and Jonas, that's why. That's why Krak was so great being forward, when's the last time we have all been excited by a move? Ken needs to do these kinds of changes in a pro-active sense not re-active.
The season is cooked people, we should start dropping the well played under performing players and play the future kids.... I really like Amon, Impey, Hoon etc.... we just need a CHF and FF big time.

Yeah I just posted what I think our holes are in the list management thread, CHF and FF were left open.
It's becoming pretty obvious. Imagine Wingard and co running around a decent (Tredrea, Walker, Hawkins type) - someone who can hurt people in marking attempts....

playing Harvey would be good, but can he play that full forward on the back line role?

Haven't seen him play enough to comment but would love to see another key position player get a chance. Questions I have regardless of who it is at CHF,
- Confidence is a big part of the game, is away to Sydney the right game to debut.
- If Ryder is ready can we play both and if so who will miss out.
- Is this kid ready to hit and bust open a pack and if so, who's got his back.

If The Big Ranga kicks 3 or 4 against North at Prospect - his old stomping ground - and Ken doesnt pick him for the Collingwood game, then you know we are in for a long few years until the contract runs out.

I want to see the big kid play but he'll probably do stupid things like lead up the middle of the ground and never see the ball. After he's been subbed on 10 minutes into the last quarter.

Everyone knows we want to go up the middle so opponents push us wide.We just haven't got the footy smarts to head back to the middle.

if ken doesn't have the minerals right now to pull the trigger & just f***ing play him, i'm convinced ken expects one our young forwards to kick 100 goals in a season on sanfl before he thinks it's the right time to play a young key forward. we all know he won't play however. we will just run them off their feet, right?
Agreed, Harvey in.

Pick him this week. Sunday night walking from the GDV to my car I thought Docklands would be the one ground that his fitness would be exposed. But last night I saw a bit of the North v Essendon game and saw that Essendon were playing McKerrnan in the ruck. Harvey can ruck against him.
But Ken wont do it
Schulz kicked 3
Ryder kicked 3 could have been 6 or 7 so he is seen as a target
Lobbe does bugger all in ruck but kicks 2 goals
Westhoff how many marks did he take at CHF and how many goals did he kick? - on thats right the CHF that plays at CHB wont get dropped.
and we only just lost and never gave up so I cant hurt my boys.

Liability. His defender will rack up the disposals, he's no where near being imposing enough to have a player even bother with marking him up.
He didn't kick a goal, he needs to kick 5+ for 7 weeks to get a look in.

How do you know that for sure if you have never seen it at AFL level? Get the ball in his hands and he kicks a couple the defender will piss his pants and sit on him.
