Yep he’s hungry

reckon 2 full vfl games then get him in for a taste of senior footy this year

Only game I’d give him is against the crows in the last round - senior backlines of cats, tigers and swans will break him

If we’ve got Pick 1 sewn up, he can have a run.

He’s just as likely to kick 6 and win the game.

Wouldn't hurt to give him a little taste of seniors the way they did for Nick Larkey in 2017
 
If he runs out a few games strongly in the two’s, kicks a few goals and is raring to go, then why TF not play him?
If he’s done the work and his body will hold up - he deserves it.
Absolutely. No different to any other player. If he’s fit enough, and his form warrants it, then he plays.

Must wait until the adelaide game for a debut, at this rate he's averaging 8 goals a game and would single handedly destroy our meticulously planned scheme for pick 1.

This is like a racehorse wins a maiden race at Casterton by 10 lengths then comes to the city next start and there is huge raps on it and it starts favourite only to disappoint.
Needs to go through the grades , play at least a couple of full games and perform in both before even in the conversation.

It's nice to know that we have a 20yo big key forward with this type of potential. North Melbourne may get the spoon this season but looking at the best player's each week and seeing player's such as Simpkin, Ldu, Zurharr and Thomas along with a key forward with Comben's potential on the horizon is exiting.
