For mine it's Armitage. Played more as a pure midfielder than has been previously, in the guts, with less time drifting forward. Tell him to play like Bally - throw him squarely in the coal-face and see what he's made of.
In turn, I would give Birss his chance at the expense of Geary. Hard, mature bodies are what's needed at this time of year. And goal-kickers. I get the feeling Geary's time will come in '09 and beyond.
Turning to Max, if he comes back in - who goes? You'd think it would be Jimmy or Gilbert. Tough one that - and on gut feeling I'd be inclined to give Jimmy another go. If he can fire I think he can give us more than Sam in the run home.
Also... Kingy. I've been saying we should rotate he and MG week to week, is now the time to try this? I've seen King just flatten off a bit these last few weeks and, prior to his injury, I thought MG was going super-good. I had him as my favoured ruck of the two, TBH.
Lastly... what happens if Bakes and X are ready? I get the feeling Eddy will have to make room for X... what about Bakes? Mini isn't going anywhere just quietly... Dempster? Gilbo? Bakes may struggle to get back in you know...
There you go. Just some team musings on a Monday.
