Iāll give you a name from left field for the sub.
Boyd.
Can run and kick like a mule and if he gets the ball outside 50 could even hit the scoreboard.

Plenty of good sub options for us depending who the team is.
Moir - Would prefer he is playing full games though, would prefer he is a sub out option more than a sub in option but for impact he is right up there.
Fogarty - versatile, can play forward and back but isn't a big impact player. May have more impact coming on fresh later in games.
Durdin - I think if he improves his fitness to being a player who can also play in the middle then his versatility may also make him a good option.
Fantasia - He's got the ability to be an impact player. He was also playing a little midfield at Essendon so could do that again if needed.
Camporeale boys - Would rather they be playing full games but the off game as sub could be a gentle introduction to AFL.
Binns - He can come in and play wing and half forward. He may also improve his ability to go on the ball. Not a huge impact player but will immediately begin wracking up possessions.
Wilson - I we are looking for a player to come in and give us run off half back it's Wilson. If Docherty is back then he could release him elsewhere.
Boyd - He's someone who can come in and do the same, give us real run from defence.
Cincotta - Not available until later in the season but the hard edged runner could be a useful sub. Added versatility to his game last season makes him more of an option. His fitness and form will be the only things holding him back.

Great options all of them!
I love your idea of Cincotta. Can play defence, forward or mid. The perfect sub in my opinion.

Not actually Brad Fisher
Agreed. Plus if an oppo player is having a blinder in the 3rd quarter, we can send Cincotta with fresh legs to shut them down.

We need to move past Hewett if we're going to be a premiership team. I'm hopeful Jagga will have replaced Hewett by the end of the year.
There's still a role for Hewett in the future chopping out Cripps or playing Docherty's role if he retires, but in our current mix, he should be the 5th midfielder and hopefully Jagga / Lord go past him quickly.

Disagree. Hewett has a skill set, and a style of play, that lends itself to big finals, while also being an on field leader and example-setter. He would be handy for any team looking to compete. If Lord goes past him, then awesome. But I donāt think Hewett is someone thatās holding us back
Harsh. Hewett is a very underrated midfielder and does alot of the grunt work, screens & blocks required for the stars to do their thing. He's only 29 & a vitally important piece of our midfield.
Alot of people drinking the cool-aid on Cooper Lord. He's promising BUT he's along way to go before he's Hewett levels.
In the last seven games of 2024, George averaged over 28 touches & 5 tackles... he was our best & highest rated player in the Brisbane final with 33 touches.
I expect him to be in Norm Smith conversations end of September

Not a lot of love for George there....
George is a consistent workhorse and valuable to our team.

Well done and perfectly said.....
Everyone is allowed their opinion.... Without being a dickhead about it...
As for Soapy I have nothing but respect for and value his input every time.
But a few others think their sh1t doesn't stink and only their opinion matters...

I'd say Jagga replaces Kennedy who played most games last year

i donāt think itās a Jagga v Hewett thing for a spot in the side
But if it was, Iām certain Hewett would be sitting in the vfl all year

I believe Hewett is currently a lock, and I doubt Jagga is competing with him for a spot

All these players have been part of midfields that won grand finals since 2020:
Shane Edwards, Jayden Short, Jack Graham, James Harmes, Tom Sparrow, Tom Atkins, Brandon Parfitt, Cam Guthrie, Mark OāConnor, Tom Mitchell, Pat Lipinski,
George Hewett is more than capable of being a significant contributor to a premiership midfield. If he canāt get a game in our midfield weāre the best team in the comp and it isnāt close

For Sure. Notice how in the training/match sims he's mostly paired against Crippa?
He's the only one in our side with the strength and tenacity to compete with him.
So you've based that opinion on pre-season training, Jagga not having played a single game yet?

I sincerely hope that we are not looking to play Jagga as a defensive mid (accountable for the oppositions attacking mid at bounces) which is the role that George plays.

Fair point and Hewett is more than capable of being a premiership player but Shane Edwards was an absolute gun and a big part of Ruchmondās dynasty. An amazing 2 way player.
