Like the old days most of our debutantes were against sides not doing well it's actually a fantastic strategy give a kid a run in a game where it doesn't diminish your chances to much.I love the inclusions...
But i feel we've missed an opportunity for a mismatch up forward with not selecting McLarty, seems we've played into their hands with their lack of height in the back 6.
With Carlisle out, their defensive group is Brown, Geary, Savage, Coffield, Webster, Rice.
Outside of Brown who will go to Cox, their next tallest player in defence is Coffield at 191cm giving McLarty a 6-7cm advantage and nearly a 10kg weight difference. This was literally the perfect game for him to debut and get some confidence at AFL level.
Yes his injury has had a real impact on the structure of our side. Same with Langdon and Maynard.
These were the players we all wanted dropped last year, they have started to show how important they are to the side, especially now that they are injured
