May and Kentfield into the forward line this week. May to take the best key back which will help Kentfield, JVR and one of Howes/Turner/Adams (like to see how they all go up forward I'm sick of Petty being the only swingman).

Luker’s already in the forward line… for Casey, on Sunday. Unfortunately we don’t have two Lukers.

May forward?

Back to his roots?

A couple of 'Neita' years?

I'm actually somewhat coming around to this, especially if Derksen comes in and is playing in the Seniors. I'd much rather May down forward as opposed to Petty (as much as I think Petty is a waste of space forward, he still is adequately able to contribute down back IMO).

You'd want him to improve his kicking by a significant level. This year he has the 2nd worst kicking efficiency of any defender in the afl with more than 15 games. (Liam baker is worse)

He is 5th worst in our team (usual suspects bottom four). But while he is statistically 'better', if you account for his possesssiona being mainly uncontested he is arguably dead last as a kick in our team.. (Last year he was also bottom 6.)

Sure, its ok to put this down to inexperience for a period of time, some player need time and also decent presasons but if if this doesnt improve dramatically in the next 25 games no way should we just hope he 'comes good'. Id much rather have consistent accurate kicks langford salem chandler bowey and lindsay getting the bulk of our possessions. We cant just replace slow ball butchers with fast ball butchers.

I agree he ain't a great kick and this is why he shouldn't be playing hb , by playing onball more of his disposals will be handballs and quick clearance type long kicks won from clearance and stoppages.
