I think we effectively have 2 choices, play Howe as a pseudo CHB (which is not his natural role), or allow Howe to ease into the season given his interrupted pre-season by playing that intercepting 3rd tall role, which means Kelly plays lockdown instead.

Could go either way, but I think option 2 is clearly the more logical choice.

And if Kelly doesn't play in one of our weakest positions when Roughead, Dean and Kreuger are all out (plus Howe is underdone), then why is he even on our list?

Kreuger will be back RD2.

Guessing its safe to assume not a sub.. LITS, what's Hough role and any risk around which injured player that could put his position under threat. Heard positive feedback on him all pre-season although wasn't high on my radar. Given the structured in my team Hough/Connor over a Cooper Stevens allows me to take Steele back up to Macrae.

Such a hard call if Cooper Stevens and Connor MacDonald also get a game. Literally have to go back to Neale M2 to fit another one in.

Hough should play off half back in an attacking role using his poise and foot skills, he's too skinny at this stage to go into the midfield where he will likely end up in a few years time.

Normally he's likely only there for the week until Witherden gets back from his suspension... But with the way our list is at the moment who knows... He could play really well and force someone else out of the team, or he could simply be needed to play due to low numbers on the track.
