Just my 2 cents worth on the possible ins.
COR was a class above on the weekend against top opposition. To me he is a mid, not a half back, he has a real knack in traffic and he doesn't give up. He needs to be persevered with in the ones.
Clarke was very good at making position and gut running on the weekend, but yes, he is a liability with his disposal, which seems to be in a panic a lot of the time. He may just need some time to settle down because if he can improve his disposal he will be a real asset.
Rowbottom looked very good on the weekend without setting the world on fire. He should get as much senior experience as he doesn't seem to have any big weaknesses in his game.
Stoddart looks good but he is very light and has not filled out. Finds it hard to win a one on one. Would be alright if we were winning the midfield battles but we are not.
Cameron. Knows how to play, is a great mark and a good kick.With Sinclairs form he might be a wise choice in the near future in support of Sinclair.
Rose is the only other one ready to play senior football, one of the fastest in the side and one of the best kicks with a good ability to read the play and kick a goal. Needs to be given a shot in the current circumstances.
I am not criticisng the rest of the seconds players; they are mostly project players who are steadily improving. Probably the closest of the rest would be Pink in the event of us losing another KPP, but not at the moment.
It will depend on the outs but COR would be at the top of the list imho for Cunningham. Rowbotton for Jack (changing of the guard time, love KJ, but its time).Probably Buddy for Blakey otherwise.
