There was a bit of a hint from Dean Laidley that he may consider including "H" in North's side this week.
McIntosh will be a big loss for Port if he does play at the Roos. If Laidley does play him, then I think we will be more likely to play Ryan than Bonaddio. They will probably ruck most of the day with Ryan, and use McKernan as a forward.
How do you rate Corey McKernans performance and fitness so far this year? Made some critical errors last week, but he was not alone in that.
How have the other talls in Goad and Bracchi gone so far this year? I havent had a chance to watch much of the two's so far this year.

ONS,
Ive seen both port reserves games this year and the 2 talls you spoke about have been ok. Bonnadio looks like a better option i believe because he is more mobile around the ground and if he plays in the forward line, he has showed he can kick goals.
Bonnadio also kicked about 35 goals last year at the Chagers rotating between ruck and forward line.
Would hate to lose Hamish this week but I recon hes just about ready for a run with the Kangaroos.
Will also be interested to see what position he plays. I remember a few years back when David Dunbar wanted to play him in the ruck but Dean Laidley said he was only to play as a forward. There was a fair bit of tension.
McKernan looked alright saturday but was never going to dominate in windy conditions. Lets hope for a big one this weekend against Tassie.
Hamish wont play on Friday night i wouldnt stress.....Kangas have Thompson,Petrie,Rocca,Hale already unless one of them gets dropped which i would be stunned as none of them deserve to,to add another tall in possible wet weather would be to top heavy.
If he was to play......then Bonnaddio and Ryan would both come in and Ruck with McKernan at CHF.
Corey started to get his game together,dont forget he just came back from a minor shoulder prob,apart from his scary 3 kicks on the full in a row in the last he was ok i thought.
