No matter how poor his disposal is, Daniel Wells would not have had 33 influential touches had he played today. That's more valuable than the output of many of our "better" players.

He has not played on Harvey in the last two matches we've played against them.

Agree. I can think of many, many more suitable candidates for omission starting with Kosi, who is so totally out of touch that I genuinely feel sorry for him.

I know.

However as Plugger pointed out, would Sean would really have gone in the midfield?

I don't understand why we didn't bring in Ray to play Jones role?

If there was no match up for him in defense and he is good enough to cover Harvey, then yes. Why not?

The need to tag Wells is as important as the need to tag Harvey - as we learnt today.

It just contradicts all the other calls on here to look to the future though?

I think Jones wasn't really why we lost today.

Really?

I'm not convinced.

They won with 22 contributors, 1 was not going to swing it our way.

This is Scotts turn.

Few more to go too I think.

Laidley said on the radio that he had a sore calf.

This is just my opinion.

However I think Scott is trying to get the balance right.

Probably swung a bit the other way sure, but it did the first year under Lyon as well.

I just don't think you can afford to carry a guy who does one thing, admittedly well, but one dimensional all the same.

One tagger should be enough in modern footy, the rest SHOULD be backed to beat their opponents.

Injured or otherwise, if he comes back in or not, just need more attack from the midfield.

CJ should be automatic, I dont care about his kicking, he does plenty to make up for it. And North is just one of those sides he always does well against, bad decision, very bad unless injured.
