Cal Twomey suggested this week that we have some interest in taking Faulkhead in the mid-season draft. Big audition coming up?
Faulkhead has looked good in the NAB League this year and shone in the young guns game. Good chance someone picks him up in the mid-season and if not post-season if he continues the form. This is definitely an audition

Isn’t it odd that Menegola, a spectacular draft pick up, is often forgotten, as a key player to our team when on form, which is often?
 
Can you give us some info about him?
This is all I found. Think the height isn't up to date as I also read like 185 elsewhere

Seems like a genuine footballer, I'm not to worried about his size, but with his size I hope they don't play him as a forward player, if his best position is midfield , than I hope they intent ( if they do recruit him ) is playing him in the future as a midfielder
Yeah worth a shot

I watched the first half of the young guns game, I think Faulkhead kicked two - one a checkside out a ruck contest and the other a running goal from outside 50. Bit of dash about him. Be really interesting to see how he goes at this level.

Can Miers play tomorrow after only playing 5 minutes of the game
Nope - but it's nothing to do with being the activated sub today

Simply a case that he's not named in the team, nor as an emergency - so would think highly unlikely he'll be playing

If he was named in the team, then he would be eligible to play regardless if he was activated or not as the medical sub - last year the VFL ruled it was ok for the medical sub to be eligible to play VFL should that rounds VFL match be played after the AFL match, even if the medical sub was activated during the seniors

Correct. He will not be playing. Grian playing twos was never the plan
