After North Melbourne training, Dean Laidley suggesteed that Corey McKernan could be dropped from their side.
As I suggested over at BigFooty.com, Corey strikes me as a player that will not dominate at VFL level, and I can't see him forcing his way back into North's side... at least with a starring performance.
Other people suggested that he just needs to be consistently workman-like to put his hand up for re-selection.
I though it might be similar Matty Allen on Carlton's list last year who when I saw him, was soundly beaten by Adrian DeLuca, both in the ruck and I was surprised that Sheedy picked him up for Essendons list.
If Corey does play for Port, it will be interesting to see just how he is used.

It looks as tho Mckernan will be at least for this week a Kangaroo....
looks as tho Sansbury, Watt and Chad Jones will return to PMFC.

Sansbury on a HF line should be interesting.
Very true, we have been calling for it at North all year but Laidley persisted with him in the backline. He deserved to be dropped, but hopefully he can get back into North's side on good form up forward.
Chad Jones was probably dropped due to playing a very big and strong Brisbane side, so should he play well this week, he should be back in blue and white.
I can't believe Porter got promoted!! Absolute disgrace, he is pathetic. I hope there are some late changes cos I don't like the inclusions Laidley did.
Pity to see Shore out of the picture again, perhaps he's injured?
nope shorey has played the last couple of weeks in the twos, hasn't done too much, but got some praise from Saade Ghazi in the game against the Bullants..
Perry has been named in the Boroughs reserves two weeks running, so he is a chance of sneaking into the side.
Troy West comes back into the towners side, which should make for a fascinating contest between one of Williamstowns greats, up against Sav Rocca, who would hope delivery to him would be improved apon last weeks performance.
With Shannon Watt into the side, Obst has been shifted around slightly, and Urch has been moved into the middle, giving him a terrific opportunity. The seagulls have listed R. Shaw B. Shaw H. Shaw in the accross the centre, which should prove an interesting matchup with Urchie, Watson and Robbins.
I'd love to see David Trotter given a bit of a run around the ground.. maybe have him go with Craig Smoker, otherwise he would probably match up against Mullins in the pocket.
Watt should prove too good against Marcus Baldwin in my opinion..
thoughts ?
I'd like to think he was up to it. Just hasn't shown any sign of improvement really - doesn't read the play that well. Gets out muscled way too often.
really needs to show a bit of fight sometimes - rather than accepting the fact that he is out of position and therefore whats the point.
Hey ons , what IS the story with Kris Shore ?
I've always been pretty impressed with him , although I must admit he didn't do much against us earlier this year. Before that he always looked the goods. Are there any specific problems with his game or is it just a matter of being out of touch ?
Just reckon he's better than VFL ressies.
It's a pretty tough gig, getting into the Port seniors. But I tend to agree, seeing him play for Port 2's is very disappointing. Come seasons end, I am almost certain he'll be a regular fixture in the seniors.
