In his presser today Horse has pretty much said some other rucks will get a go later in the season and sooner in the case of injury. That could be a good opportunity for giving Naismith and Nankervis some AFL game time. Personally I would prefer to see those guys get game time than Derickx because they are the future (we hope) and Derickx is our back-up for the present and I suspect we will only call on him in case of injury. I note in particular the last two rounds H&A we play bottom 4 teams (Saints, Suns) and it remains to be seen what sort of a proposition the Giants are the round before that. Anyway, overall I have a fairly high degree of faith in our match committee's selections which I think their much greater knowledge of (a) the game and (b) what's going on behind the scenes entitles them to - along with their proven track record. You think they are not working around the clock on how we can lift our game enough to beat Hawthorn? I don't buy that they are thinking about winning the next game to the exclusion of all else. We all want to WIN FLAGS.
