Game Day Round 1 v Gold Coast, It's The Hope That Is Great!

[Ambrose Burnside]

I'm just grateful he played the game of his life in the Grand Final.

And also kicked that goal after the siren against Port after earning a free kick for a high tackle. Perfection.

It’s worth noting that we all thought Kerr’s career was over from similar issues around 2010 and then he came out and played 2 and a half or so quality seasons

Shuey Is Done

 

[its_dave]

Having your captain playing in the team each week is a good idea. Not sure if Schuey is the appropriate man

 

[Cuzz09]

Still can picture Shuey as a Lecca type forward. Great on both feet. Goal sense. clever

I admire your optimism, but

in 2010 Kerr was 27 and was done by 2013 when he turned 30.

Shuey turns 32 in about 10 weeks

How much longer can Shuey be debated?

Me too, but there's so much running involved in that flank position these days. Bit different if he could play as a stay at home forward. I think they'd try him in more of a defensive forward role, try to win htb, crumb for goals. He's not good overhead like Lecca (who played tall).

Danger game

WCE by 67

 

[Chris_6678]

Even more as a winger he would be a good option. Its his burst and acceleration from congestion that would be putting a strain on those hammies.

Crazy to think we could have gone into the 2015 grand final with a 32 year old Kerr in the middle if he was basically any other champion midfielder that doesn’t play for WC.

He would have been younger or the same age as what these guys are currently: Boak, Zorko, Pendlebury, Sloane, J Selwood, Gray, Shane Edwards

, JPK, Curnow, and Mundy obviously.

Some of them are borderline cooked but still best 22 especially in a grand final.

Would it kill us to have a champion mid who is still a champion after they hit 30?

Too much travelling?

Probably until he does his hammy ?
But that'll just stir up the convo again...

Is there anyone fit from the main-list not included in the 26 man squad? or are we genuinely down to 25 fit players? Bazzo maybe?

Bazzo in isolation and Witherden suspended.

As a long time admirer of Declan Mountford (born 13 February 1997) is a professional Australian rules footballer who played for the North Melbourne Football Club, I think this is going to be alright.

 

[garlic munchers]

70 9 metre kicks, 2 12 metre kicks and a massive 2 metre handball?

after checking on my calculator, yes
