Stanley got balted by a second string ruck. It's not really much of a risk. I'd back him in.
Parfitt particularly disappointing. With him finally getting regular games you'd hope he'd have shown a lot more vigor.
Conway coming in for Stanley is an obvious one after that game. Stewart back in.
Paddy now out for a month. Like to see Hardie given an opportunity at some stage. Parfitt wouldn’t want another game like that one next week. There’s a few waiting in the wings.
Kid we should look at as a key forward, Harry Armstrong. Plays for Haileybury. Just watched the first half of them pantsing Caulfield and he’s very impressive. Not talked about currently as a high pick but has loads of ability. Had most of last year off footy with an infection.
Hardie’s body shape looks leaner this year from my viewing (not that we will know if there’s been a weight change..). He looks to be moving better. Impressed with his decision making. Hope to see him debut this year. You’d think that a few clubs might look at him if he can’t get a gig with us.
I’m not completely against C.Guthrie directly returning as he’s probably our best mid when fit. But, I just wonder whether it was really necessary bringing him back this way? We are 6-0 off the back of trusting that our kids in the midfield are good enough. Which they have been.
I realise that...
Absolutely! He will command a big contract next time round. But it appears that GWS have built a great morale amongst their players. Doubtful that anyone they don’t want to let go will leave these days.
With regards to Tuohy it’s a big test for him. He’s rested and coming up against a legitimate top 4 aspirant. I’ve felt he’s struggling this year with the pace of the game. Been increasingly more fumbly. Saturday afternoon should provide an answer as to where he’s at.
