Sure I agree. But if development of our younger players is the ultimate goal and they are being forced to play a completely different style to AFL because of the reduced numbers, then it might prove to be counter -productive
Could the grounds be scaled down so there’s a similar density of players on the ground?

Lets just shoot the breeze......about the size of Ikon Park for example
Because we play him as a forward. His kicking is nothing special.

Brisbane are due a tough injury run would could hurt. They’ve been so used to their top tier fully available. No set backs. But now Martin (expected to go round 2 despite a PCL they should hold him back) and Zorko. They lose these kind of players no finals because they have been relying on too few. They do have a very richmond-esque list which will struggle with the key movers missing. But they could have a hawks list if they all stay fit for 2-3 years straight from here.
I could equally say similar of us if our best can stay fit. The ruck roll needs to be sorted for the future now. If pittonet makes that jump like others have done changing clubs (Jacobs, Mumford, etc...) we could be in for a beauty. He could actually turnout to be a steal.
we also have TDK that needs to get minutes too. I’d love to put him in for Casboult when he starts calling away in a year or two. Put them up against each h other at training. Winner plays.

Compared to playing no footy. You’re kidding right. Better than nothing. That would develop a wrong new s**t storm of bad habits.

you are right- Yes better than nothing, but not perhaps achieving the main objectives either

VFL is a completely different style to AFL.
Some version of football is better than no football.
He's not a penetrating kick, I'd put him at a max of about 40-45m, but he's a clever kick finding angles and things like that which is something not many of our guys do often. Being 2 footed obviously helps with it and again is something not many others in the team can do. SPS is the only other one I can think of, though Eddie isn't bad either but it's not as natural on the left as the other 2. I think Mick really played his best later on in the year when they started putting him on a wing or closer to the ball.

Cameron Bruce - Training Update :-

Bruce's training update
Assistant coach Cameron Bruce spoke to TAB Sports Radio about the impending restart of the season.
I popped down to training today. Caught a glimpse of what appeared to be match simulation, looking through gaps in green mesh. Blues vs Orange Team. Two things stood out. 1. Jack Silvagni played onball tagging Cripps. 2. The Blues had all the gun forwards so McKay, Levi, Mcg and Betts. At the other end of the group the Blues tall defenders played on Lang and some other midget I can't recall. So basically looks like the coaches want the first players to find their confidence and rhythm quick smart given the short lead time to prepare for R2. I would hazard a guess next week in any such match sim the match ups would be more competitive. Outside of these key observations the only other things I noticed were Walsh kept finding it with ease, SPS played down back, and LOB kicked a sweet goal off his left about 40m out on a 45 degree angle. Oh and believe it or not young Finbar (?) seemed to find the ball a fair bit down back for the Oranges. Think it was him, the red hair blended with the orange top quite conspicuously.
Yes I can't say I am totally confident it was Finbar. It was at the other end of the ground, I was peeping through mesh, it appeared to be red hair on an orange guernsey with the sun shining so quite hard to tell. But someone with red hair was getting a fair bit of it which was a fair achievement given they were playing against the first call forwards.
You'd think the height difference alone would make for an easy observation (O'Dwyer = 192cm / Cottrell = 181cm) but it just somehow doesn't show up on the field. In fact, I don't think Cottrell is 181. Looks somewhat taller than that.

Jack to run with Oliver in round 2?
Making that shift would leave McKay, Casboult, McGovern, Betts, Martin & Cuningham as the starting 6 forwards and allow for Ed to put the clamps on a Viney or Petracca.

He is pretty high up. His waist is level with head of players standing upright.
