This is from a 191cm 29 year old!
If you can't see and value KMac's workrate, that's on you. Yes, he's coming to the end of his career, but there is still no one ready to replace the role that he does.

Kam's value over his career is beyond doubt. He's a dual Premiership Tiger. He's been a brilliant winger over our successful era. A tremendous athlete.
I've found his disposal a bit shaky lately though & that's a negative where turnovers are devastating in an evolving game that's ever relying on crisp, accurate skills.
Ralphsmith fell short. Then Banks was supposed to be the one. But Kam saw them both off. He's still running hard.
That said Seth Campbell ran almost the same distance on the weekend & his time trial results in the preseason indicated he's got the tank to play on a wing.
Ross too is showing he can play long minutes in the midfield.
If Campbell plays higher then that could open the possibility for other younger players to fill the flank roles.
KMac's going to keep playing in the ones given the injury list but as players return I think he might get squeezed out and I kinda of hope he does despite flag heroics.

Reckon Seth is the replacement, he spent time on the wing in the first half against the Swans, he looks very suited for the wing role.
Yep Seth’s come from way back and now looks the most likely replacement.
Just needs to work on the brute strength required to be able to shove blokes out of the way
To me, Seth would be wasted on the wing. If aerobically capable, I'd try and train Ralphsmith and Cumberland as our future wingers. Both are a good height, with pace and can win 1 on 1 contests, with disposal comparable to Kamdyn.
I'm sure he ran a lot yesterday too.
13 disposals (4 contested), below average pressure, 7 clangers, 2 marks (uncontested), 2 tackles in 96min of playing time, below average metres gained.
I'm not sure what 'role' he plays based on this? It's certainly not effective defensively? His 2 inside 50's aren't suggestive of anything offensive either. He did have 2 rebound 50s but I would expect more from that game time and his level of experience.

I'd probably drop/rest him for this week. Hasn't been in great form, is now a veteran & opens up an opportunity for a younger player. against a weaker team.
Short or Campbell to play on the wing.

Which younger player would you bring in? I'd love to see Smith get a go at half-back with Short on the wing, but given we're taking it slowly because of his foot is that likely? Otherwise it's likely Banks again.
Campbell or Short up to the wing. McAuliffe into the midfield mix. Bakes returning too.
Rather keep Seth playing half forward for now. Reckon he adds more to our team there.
The good half forwards need to work up the ground just as much as the wing these days, but then work back closer to goal and have the nouse when and where to be dangerous.
We have no-one since Lablett who's been able to do it until Seth came along this year. There not easy to find. Keep him there.

Finally on Seth. (unpopular opinion alert) Would be showing him tapes of Gryan Myers this year as someone he (and the club) can look to emulate.
Has similar athletic traits.
