Retired # 2: Tom Bellchambers - Knocks Cam Mooney the **** out - 24/5

[TheGreatBarryB]

I'd prefer Tom stays well away from our forward 50 zone, good goal kicker or not. Our current balance is too good to upset. I'm sure the coach will instruct him as such with our 3 tall forwards already.

Luey played forward at times last week. Don't see the problem especially when Joe goes into the ruck. Be able to rotate more mids off the bench with TBC able to spend time up forward compared to Luey

Given that's what the Pies got for Witts, that's exactly what we'd get for him.

44 and 62 does not equate to a top 20 pick what u talking about ?

Its excellent timing for him to get a run given Leuey is ill and Bellchambers just kicked 6 in the VFL.

Hopefully he can show off some of his forward nous when he's not in the ruck.

The dangerous part of Nankervis is not his tapwork which is probably slightly below average at AFL level but its his around the ground marking and kicking. So this is a big chance for Bellchambers to show that he can work defensively when he has to as well as being handy offensively in terms of hitouts, contested marks and with any luck a goal or two.

I'm surprised about how many prefer Luey over Bellchambers. I'm the opposite would take Bellchambers over Luey any day of the week can we get a poll going?

Need to see more of TBC. But not too much.

Doesn't seem appropriate in his player thread, but I'll change the one in the team selection strategy thread.

Was surprised by tbc tonight. Good defensive work in the clearances, nice tap work in the first half, didn't get flogged around the ground.
Still prefer Leuey at this stage but he was one of the few positives from tonight

Played really well tonight on Naker

 

[Beerfish]

6 goals would have been handy Tommy B. Jus sayin.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Would have been a better option up forward than Hooker or even Stewart.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Why didn't Bellchambers lunge for a tackle or try put an arm across to get Nankervis off line?

Is this a joke? He was miles away from him

Surely stays in against GWS and Stewart out

 

[BrunoV]

After the first 15 minutes I thought that Leuenberger might be in trouble but after that...not.

 

[Ambrosia]

Just doesn't have Luenberger's tank.

 

[eth-dog]

Was good. Stays in for me.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Close call for me as I thought he played quite well, but prefer Leuy.

Miles away and knackered at end of game.

A run of games until the bye, save for an absolute shocker in there. Last night was well above that. Could've possibly won a free or two in the ruck from getting manhandled by Nankervis, but anyway.

 

[Fear Boner]

I think he was pretty bloody decent , offered things that Luey doesn't . Deserves a fair shot at it until provern otherwise

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

Loved his tap work and he even tried to get down and dirty with some of his tackles. Shame most of his frees against were for high tackles.

One of which was complete bullshit (along with the shepherding free)

I'm not his biggest fan, but he played well last night. He beat Nankervis comfortably.

Yes he faded a little, but he was still the best ruck on the ground. Not sure it's enough to keep Leuy out though. Nor that it's enough to be able to play both of them.

Only way it could work is to drop Stewart, but I don't like either Leuy or TBell in the forward line

 

[ant555]

Needed to take 3 or 4 of the marks he got hands to. Was pretty good.

 

[bacon buster]

Ok then. Maybe inspector gadget could have got a hand on him
