Ok Richo appears to be out for a few or slightly more so the brains trust will be casting around for a replacement next week, who are our guesses.
Will the selection committee be predictable and go tall for tall, bringing in Vardy.
Will they blood a youngster like *smile*?
Will they move Cameron/Chaffey up front full time and bring in a young mid field runner/half back?
Personally I'd be looking at one of two options.
1. Recognise the big fella isnt really a goal kicker, he's a really big link player, so look at replacing him with another tallish mid field runner to keep up the supply to the guys who are kicking goals already, or
2. Try a Milne type experiment and give McGrath a go at FF.
Now, I'm not sure if Port are really the team you want to blood a player like McGrath (but it would cause some interesting mismatches with Wakelin). But seriously, with the rest of the medium/small forwards and mid field already kicking good scores I'd go the link player in the middle. Against Port (like Brissie) its all hands on deck in the middle and a little extra help pushing back isnt going to go astray.
(or am I being way to negative)
