I can't see us manufacturing a way to participate in the MSD. If someone suffers a season ending injury between now and then, maybe, but I can't see anyone we could pick in the MSD coming in and making a difference this season. Even with our three most inside mids missing for the first few weeks, our midfield found a way to get things done. Sheldrick was the standout in the VFL game yesterday yet doesn't look like winning a spot anytime soon. A couple of players are going to be unlucky when the injured stalwarts are ready to resume.I'm neither here or there with Reid, just know that hypothetically in a final series who do I want as the reserve, becuase this is what it is. Long term sure lets go Buller, no reason both can't be kept. Put Mills on the long term and get a MSD that way or something as if Mills is back before finals.
And we already have a situation where it's going to be hard to find players to cut from the senior list at the end of the season. The most vulnerable players are still very young and are showing some development and play positions that we need reinforcements in in the next two to three years. Just not now, and maybe not next year.
