[Pablito]

Yeah he did, at VFL level. Might be slightly bigger, but that means little if you aren't a natural contested player

I mean, Cincotta was averaging 30 touches a game not so long ago at VFL level

They play outside roles. What exactly do you want them to contest.

 

[AB_Blue]

Orazio to kick 4!

I’d be happy with one

You think wingmen don't need to win contested ball?

 

[Pablito]

You think wingmen don't need to win contested ball?

On the list of 5 most important traits for a wingman. Winning contested ball isn't on the list.

 

[Bringbackeddie]

9th or 10th on the ladder after this weekend if we lose tomorrow night… **** me, I hope the boys can find a way to get the job done.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

9th or 10th on the ladder after this weekend if we lose tomorrow night… fk me, I hope the boys can find a way to get the job done.

And anywhere from 2 - 7 if we win!

I agree

But tell me apart from racking up touches at VFL level, what other traits have you seen that suggests he should be in the side

And then, which player gets dropped for him

 

[JJBagger]

9th or 10th on the ladder after this weekend if we lose tomorrow night… heck me, I hope the boys can find a way to get the job done.

And we’ll only be a game off 2nd. Shows how tight the ladder is

And then, which player gets dropped for him

As mentioned his tackle pressure.
His work rate off the ball.
His general usage is good also.

He's ready. And has been for 6 months.

Would've played him in front of Durdin, Ollie, Willams

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

I get the feel good inclusion of Williams to play in the jumper that his cousin(?) designed, despite him not being great prior to his injury.
Carroll's obvious with Cerra coming out.
Fantasia just lucky that there aren't too many left that can come in.
Marchbank? I was critical of him coming in for his 1st game with bugger all prep and no VFL form. He stank it up, nearly injured a few of our own and got injured again. Now he comes straight back in again, under virtually the same circumstances. I don't like it. Good luck to him, but I think it's a very bad decision and Cowan should've stayed in. 3 forced changes was enough.

I don't believe he is ready, but I'm sure he will continue to develop

 

[Blue Reaper]

Carroll will be a big watch for me. In Cerra’s absence, hope he can turn it on.

 

[RUNVS]

Swans can go a game and a half ahead on the top of the table by the end of tomorrow.

DON"T SCREW THIS UP FOR US CARLTON.

 

[agro]

This team is not so bad.

 

[carlton_99]

DON"T SCREW THIS UP FOR US CARLTON.

Contrastingly, you will be at the top of the ladder even with a loss tomorrow.

DON'T SCREW THIS UP FOR US SYDNEY.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Williams re-injured himself. I reckon he would’ve done and said anything to play this weekend. I don’t trust him and don’t think he is best 22.

Marchbank is good at what he does at AFL level. He is injury prone but his injuries tend to be specific rather than recurring issues like Martin, Cunners and Cerra.

Cowan will be a player but he is clearly not ready yet. He panics when he gets the ball. The thought of Papley running at him tomorrow night is terrifying.

 

[blues4flag]

I don't believe he is ready, but I'm sure he will continue to develop

Not sure there's a spot for him with Ollie and Acres, but on last week's 2s game he's not far off the mark.

He's a very smart winger, ball use is underrated, workrate is elite and won a few loose balls when he moved onto the ball in the last.

Sydney at the SCG is a tough ask but can see him getting a go soon against more modest opposition.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

*Total games including this game. Season games not including this game.

 

[lukep_86]

The ins aren't great, and there are players like Durds who could with some time in the 2s but unfortunately our injuries are preventing that from happening at the moment. Also think that Cotts is a huge out.

Either way, I still think the team running out tomorrow is good enough to beat the Swans.

Blues to win another heart stopper

 

[Blue since 72]

We are playing Durdin an Fantasia who can not get a touch and not the guy who had 42 in the reserves

Would love to hear why Binns is not ready.

 

[JustaBattler]

Would love to hear why Binns is not ready.

Good to see that he can accumulate possessions in VFL - what does he do with all that ball? How is his tackling against bigger blokes ? Is he a better choice than Acres or O Holands in a wing? Who do you see him replacing and why?

Answer these questions and you dont need to be told anything from anyone.

If he doesn't watch the VFL and you do, can you give him the answers from your perspective?

 

[GoBlues!]

Orazio to kick 4!

While he hasn’t hit the scoreboard much I do recall a couple of good link plays and assists on the forward line.

I’d settle for 2 goals and 3 goal assists.

 

[gab213]

And anywhere from 2 - 7 if we win!

Unfortunately, whether we win or lose, Essendon will be sitting in 2nd place by the end of the round ( unless they lose to North)

 

[GoBlues!]

Hey chance for Fog to come back?

Partly cloudy Thrawn, but no fog.
