Fin not sub…this is his chance to really showcase. Sullivan will come into the 22 as well you’d think. One of Richards or Bytel to be sub. Hopefully Richards plays from the start

What’s the story with this kid? What are his chances looking like draft wise and at what range for those who follow this a little more closely?

I think it’s an exciting opportunity now for sone of our lesser names to be seen with some ample opportunities consecutively presenting themselves that we haven’t really had the luxury to see.

Sorry forgot about AJ He has to play now and as a forward

Good opportunity for someone to step in Reef and even Krueger

Next time not as sub. Freshness in legs today was really useful and he played his role tonight when his moment came early than they expected

He’s a player. You can see it. Was involved all day And had some absolute clutch moments at both ends of the ground in dying moments to boot and didn’t wilt. He should be given more game time week to week and was great that he wasn’t sub tonight

With Mitchell managing a foot issue for the last 9-10 weeks…why have we not used this time to allow him to heal without playing with it and in the same time develop the next player or players with opportunity during this period? We have somewhat missed a beat here to manage our older players...

This is great news in that he will most likely be selected as a sub again upon his return.

How many clearances did the individuals within that team get? Looking at the numbers both Macrae and Sullivan had strong days They shared for double digit clearances combined to go with 50 touches and 2 goals between them too. We aren’t fixing issues by having senior players recording 3...

Show me the stats vs the Essendon VFL game and not the game from 2 weeks ago now.

Lol that’s why we are continuing to accept sub standard performances You need to have selection integrity ..we have clearance issues all year and we have 2 guys in the VFL doing what we are screaming out for in that area of the ground. If we don’t start to make the hard calls, we will sit here...

He was subbed in for Mitchell though. So he ended up playing in the same side as all of the above. That’s a weak excuse and you know it. Perhaps it would allow guys like McCreery and Schultz to spend some time up around the ball too

I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for us to give Harrison, Macrae, Sullivan, Reef and AJ more game time in the seniors for extended periods without making them sub or dropping them after a week. Selection integrity is going to be one critical soon for Fly if he doesn’t start to make...

Needs to be given a block of games Looks comfortable at the level It’s time to trust some kids more

They need to play him as a mid firstly They have been playing like a key forward all summer because of his height and ability overhead. This needs to change

I think he didn’t look out of place and for a guy to have 7 touches a few marks and a goal in one qtr …he looked like he belonged. Especially since the game was at its hottest too when he was on. We need to find ways to give these next wave of players more regular game time. It’s holding us...

I think we need to be able to allow him the freedom to shift into the F50 at will and take his opponent there. I’m not saying play forward exclusively in saying someone covers for him post stoppage and allows him to drift forward where he will cause damage with his opponent who won’t want to be...

I love Mitchell but did you see him trying to pick up loose ground balls today? I was cringing It was like he was moving in quicksand

A big roast to members of our backline- not just for today but for all season really. Quaynor has yet to fire a shot all season too Howe is in all sorts Maynard is barely going. A lot is being left to Moore and Frampton really keeping that back 6 together.

Parts of our DNA game are building and you can see we still believe in the process and the boss. Giving away 6 goal head starts regularly at the moment is annoying. Two different styles on show today with Essendon wanting to kick mark short and wide compared to our run and gun corridor. Our...

Long way to play out on that one. We are just as much a destination club currently as anyone But the club would need to make sure the individual would fit in with the group.

Maybe but people have the ability to learn and change. It’s worth keeping tabs on I reckon

It’s clear we are well down the path of Bailey Smith If we really want to turbo charge our list regeneration especially in midfield, then adding Tarryn Thomas with Smith would be a long way to that. Of course Thomas known issues and fitting in culturally will need to pass the test but you all...

It’s not about this week. The whole “confidence” thing and “he will train again when he’s ready” leaving it up to the player is alarm bells and is starting to become a joke really. How can you confidently offer this player a contract beyond this season, knowing he’s another knock away from...

Maybe but it looks more like Bevo has the keys to the kingdom and he is shaping it with the full backing of his board

It’s time to take the decision out of his hands. We can’t afford to re contract him at the end of this season on a contract that is longer term. It’s sad but we can’t allow him to “build confidence until he’s ready” If the confidence is gone then it’s time to call it quits. It’s tragic and...

Watching Freo is like watching Bucks’ last season or two with us. It’s just painful and you can tell Longmuir and he are cut from the same cloth

He should not be out of the side period. He has played a dozen games and some as sub. He needs a clean run of games and get him up to the 50 games mark.

We need some more freshness and legs. Sullivan should be almost a starter as part of the on ball rotations. Harrison should also be seeing more minutes and games. If we have to make some calls on veterans so be it.
