What about Patrick Bowden if Hall doesnt come up.
He will too good for Deleido and too good in the air for Newman.
My opinion only

I say Krakour.
Somehow he will get a game.
So if he is to get a game let him get flogged, then finally they may dump him.
But seriously- need speed and height to do this. And obviously stamina to go all night.
Saying this thats why we need 2 to change on him.
Tuck for mine to be given first go.
P. Bowden given a go also- and told to play close, lets see what hes got in this regard.

U2 we are on the same opinion with P Bowden. I still reckon he may have been better served to have played on Hall, but then again hindsight is easy and i dont think he would have done much better than the kid Mcguanne.
I also think Newman or P Bowden (if he gets a game this week).

Whose gonna play on brett Burton?Smack him out then give him a severe slap across the eyelids........thatll give him something to crow about......... :spin
Combo of Jackson (mostly) and Hartigan when he's resting - neither is ideal, but we don't have much to go with.
IMO, if you're going to tag someone, the tagger needs to be:
a) Largely expendable in terms of your attacking game plan (rules out Tuck IMO).
b) Physically capable of matching their opponent for height, pace and endurance (rules out most of the other possibilities besides Jackson IMO).
Having said that, Jackson hasn't really shown any natural tagging tendencies (yet), but if he loses the battle, we've not lost a lot...while if he comes off even we've won a huge victory. IMO, half the battle with a tag or any defensive match-up is negating someone you rate as a threat using a player of lesser standing. If you use a player who has attacking value to your own plan (Coughlan or Tuck on Goodes for example), then in many cases, you've already thrown up the white flag in terms of kicking a winning score.
Hence the value of Kirk, he can negate and still be a valuable offensive weapon...he's like gold for a coach. Several of our younger blokes have the physical attributes to be similar players...Jackson is worth a try, Hartigan is already showing potential, but Jackson has a height and athleticism advantage. No harm in trying this move in a game we're likely to lose...nothing ventured, nothing gained...that's how you pull off surprising victories...experiment a lot and develop fringe players who can play a variety of roles, hopefully to your eventual advantage.
