We seem to like losing are young players through injury to give those older players the experience and form they needIN: TRENT MYNOTT

The sooner this bloke gets a game the better. If his game translates well to the AFL he is exactly what we need.IN: TRENT MYNOTT

Whilst I respect your opinion I couldn't disagree more with it. He would easily fall into our best 10 in my opinion.
Shiel, Stringer, AMT, Heppell, Merrett, Saad, Hurley, Hooker, Ambrose. You’ve got one spot he might fall in but still Fantasia, Parish, have been in our bests in more games than he has.
Could not argue with that personally. In fact why do we have to turn him into a midfielder if it is going to make him look like a B grade player. Let him star as a half forward or half back.If we must have the “Baguley role” I’d prefer MacGrath played it until he is more ready for midfield duties.
Right now he’s great when he gets it on the outside but doesn’t have much contested game to speak of.
Myers would probably come inIf he's out I'd expect either Langford to hold his spot or Ham to come in.
Im starting to think that's a good spot for him.If we must have the “Baguley role” I’d prefer MacGrath played it until he is more ready for midfield duties.

I'm not clear on what you're getting at so i apologise in advance.
Are you saying he's gone backwards because he's not listed in our best each week as much as the guys you stated?
Because at some point in time it was decided that the natural evolution of any talented player must be to play as midfielder!Could not argue with that personally. In fact why do we have to turn him into a midfielder if it is going to make him look like a B grade player. Let him star as a half forward or half back.
Mate, he's 20.
Maybe he should go forward where he kicks goals. Unlike number 12 who currently resides there.Maybe he should go back in defence it's where he played his best footy.
Mate - he’s going to be a jet. It’s just a question of how best to use him while he develops.Hasn't taken the next step I fear he may have reached his peak and becomes just a solid player.
You need this song mateHasn't taken the next step I fear he may have reached his peak and becomes just a solid player.
You said he’s easily in our ten best players. There are nine who have unquestionably performed better than him and few others who are in competition. Any statement on being easily in our best ten isn’t based on form.
I'd argue that he'd be higher than Walla, Hooker and Ambrose in the BnF right now. Walla has had three stellar games but 4 goalless ones and Ambrose's first two weeks were poor. Hooker has missed 3 games. Pidge has really only had the one outright poor game.Shiel, Stringer, AMT, Heppell, Merrett, Saad, Hurley, Hooker, Ambrose. You’ve got one spot he might fall in but still Fantasia, Parish, have been in our bests in more games than he has.
The sky certainly isn’t falling with him but it’s an obfuscation of truth to state he has played well.

McGrath and Smith can rotate through that role with Bags out. Means Parish and guys like Mynott get more opportunities.Im starting to think that's a good spot for him.
Keep Parish in the middle. Andy up forward as a defensive, goal kicking small forward. He displaced Bags' spot once. Time to do it again
Mate, he's 20.
