Training - Wednesday 19th June, 2013 (3pm)

I wouldn't be that harsh on him he's an OK player not great but I think Gawn has 100 more times upside and with his VFL form must come in. Also I have Pederson taking Dunns spot, both aren't that great defensively but at least Pederson's disposal is better and he can ruck. He would be the 4th tall which would suit him rather than playing on a dangerous forward as he did against Collingwood.

I agree with what you are saying, Gawn has much more upside as a Ruck. But I think Fitzpatrick has some upside as a forward/ruck so that we don't have to play Clark in that role and can just keep he and dawes as permanent forwards, along with Hogan.

Interesting to note that Howe is in the White in the group pic, and that Dunn is in Blue. If we take the view that the Blue are the senior players or best 22 for the coming week, I can't believe that Howe would be out of the team while Dunn would still be in.

I'm assuming this is not the case and that players were placed on other teams to balance out the line-ups as well.

Let's damn well hope so.

Dunn is the last player on our list who deserves a game this week, after the abhorrent tripe he served up on QBD (and has been serving for his entire career).

Seems a bit harsh on Fitzpatrick. I genuinely thought the guy showed a bit last week, particularly with his work in the middle of the ground and his couple of entries into the forward 50. He has the speed to get into space when playing as the relieving ruck and I think a bit of continuity at the top level would be good for him.

On a side note, I can't help but feel that we got an absolute steel with Kent. I watched a replay of the first quarter of the Collingwood game last night, the guy is tough at it, penetrating kick, and just doesn't give up. What a great find by the recruiting department.

Also, that side that's been listed looks pretty decent on paper. Just imagine throwing Clarke into the forward line and an A grade mid next season as well.....

He's not the first Kent to be a man of steel.
