It would be either a brave sort or delusional to suggest that season 2011 isnt all but derailed.

We can take it as all doom and gloom

OR

Seize the day...take the opportunity to bring in some up and likely kids whove shown some promise.

The catch-cry is always "games in legs" we do have some 'regulars' to come back but do we really automatically hit their 'select' button or do we take some measured and inspired choices from the likes of Lawrence , Nicholson or an Evans etc.

Out of adversity comes opportunity.

Roll it Dean...

Depth is going to be tested over the next 2-3 weeks. A great time to throw a kid into the mix and reward those performing at Casey a go in the red and blue.

I think our defense is under the pump with Garlo/Rivers/Grimes now out. Do we rely on MacDonald to plug a hole or throw someone new into the back 6?

If they do give more than one kid (Gawn) a run then Bailey is more selfless than the high estimation I already have.

We have our two best rucks injured so Gawn is a no-brainer with Martin proving himself as a compotent ruck while working on his movement in the forward line.

If Evans, Howe, Nicholson, McDonald et al. push/keep out MacDonald, Dunn, Bate, Warnock, Newton et al. then Bailey will prove himself to be more concerned with the MFC than Dean Bailey.

Definitely there are various schools of thought that can be garnered from what happens from now but that aside. Who really deserves a punt.

Gawn does seem a no brainer but do we wait just a tad longer ..or roll now.

Theres the likes of Howe... might just prove that Robbo like presence we could use

and so on.

I dont think we have the luxury of waiting quite so long now/ Cant hurt to see what some of these lads are made of.. Who knows someone might just fire
