Personally would get Beecken & McLaughlin (Morris and him can be 3rd tall) to play his 1st match and Prior & Answerth to return:
Answerth / Lester / Prior
Zorko / Starcevich / Wilmot
McCluggage / Berry / Ashcroft
Rayner / Hipwood / Bailey
Cameron / Daniher / Morris
McInerney / Neale / Dunkley...
This concussion issue is a can of worms. The other complication that no one talks about is players throwing themselves to the ground to “draw a high free kick”. There are rarely consequences for that behaviour and it is just as dangerous, but all the onus falls on the tackling player.
I...
In fairness, Rayner did the same thing to the Collingwood rookie in Round 3/4 (stupid fixtures).
However this has got me thinking about the concussion = automatic suspension rule they seem to be moving towards and if marking attempts like these will be the next to go.
More than that, we even allow players to drive their knees into someone's head with 100% abandon... As long as they're attempting a mark.
NoahAnswerth says hi 👋
I wouldn't take Starce as a guaranteed in. It was a pretty bad hit and if they miss any milestones they tend to take another week.
If we want to stiffen the defence, it really should be McKenna out and Brain staying. I love Answerth as a lock-down but he has had a few weeks off and tends to...
...during our winning streak.
Also, I don’t want to sound churlish, but our defensive unit looks more cohesive and solid without NoahAnswerth in the team, particularly as Starcevich has returned to some strong form, after an indifferent start to the year. Wilmot is having a great year, Reville...
Noah was able to keep Wutti to a couple of touches and a behind, at the height of his powers, a few years back. Literally fixed his disposal over an offseason.
If anyone is even close to what you describe, it’s starce. He’s gone from one of the best lockdown defenders to being more of an all...
0.5 free kicks against per game this season. This would include kicks out on the full.
2.5 turnovers per game from an average of 11.3 disposals per game. So 22%.
I don't think that's unreasonable for the role he plays, where most of the ball he gets is usually going to be under pressure. You...
Such a bad call, Reville is unproven as a defender and would get dominated by bobby hill/Rankine type up forward.
Doesn’t have much of a tank yet and spends less than 70% time on ground.
Answerth is a average kick but our best lockdown small defender by a decent margin, its not a strength...
I think he is. NoahAnswerth couldn’t lock down a bicycle. He specialises in giving away free kicks and dump kicks out of defence either straight to an opponent or out on the full. Too harsh? 😂
...to tick the final boxes to put his hand up for selection.

I also loved the Paps reference, but I still dont think he is one of the best handballers in the comp no matter what you and that 10 year old thread say.
