Cary probably did enough to deserve another game, seen enough of Jones, Peletier and Hendo. Id like to see Nyika John given a chance at league level and see what he can do, he takes Davis's spot, Hunter takes Jones, Gray deserves his debut at the expense of either of the above and Conigs comes back in if he's not injured. Was a late out today hopefully just just gastro or something. Jones is just too soft he needs a spell and needs to find some grunt. I think Busher will straighten us up and Hunter to give 2dads a chop out and provide a tall marking target.

We need to be careful not to go in top heavy. The team posted by DD had 7 players over 190cm, 1899 had 8. We had 8 players over 190 v SD. Some of them, like Nicholas, Gibba and Sinkers, are pretty quick and mobile. But Jones, Hill, Busher, Eyres and DBW are not. However, we need someone to give DBW a chop out and I think Hunter is the best bet. I'd be looking at dropping Hill - maybe not now, but definitely when Fisher comes back. You guys can be a bit harsh on Peletier. He is 20 years old with 3 league games. He has a proven record at Colts level and will improve. Hendo, on the other hand, at age 25, will not. Also harsh to talk about dropping Davis. Yes, his disposal can be ordinary, but he gives good run. 

Anyone rate Hitchcock? I have never seen him play but his stats yesterday were pretty good. 7 shots on goal from 14 disposals with 11 marks suggests he was dangerous all day. If nothing else, it keeps the pressure on Cary and Rogers if he can back it up. It may also allow McPartland to move into the middle, which is where I think he would rather play.
