Quote: SmokeyTA "im not sure about the size argument in favour of Kirke,
I would front row options of Ambler, Kylie, Bailey, Eastwood should be enough size in the 17, especially when Ablett, JJB, and Ali in the 2nd row are hardly small guys.
Another thing i would say was in Clarksons favour rather than Kirkes is the time he is actually on the field. I dont think we would get huge stints out of any of our forwards bar JJB, any of our forwards get a knock and we are forced to leave one of these guys on for a long time. I would be more comfortable asking Clarkson to put in a 70/80 minute stint that Ablett, Ali, Eastwood, Ambler, Kylie, Bailey or Kirke'"
Who are you putting Ambler in for Diskin ?
If Bluey thinks we have enough up front with Kylie and Bailey, with a stint from Eastwood, against Morley, Carvell and Wood then he will go with Ablett instead of Kirke.
I agree as regards the stamina, hot day on a big pitch at Wembley Clarkson should be a shoe in.
