Tarrant will come in for Balta
Need a big body against 2m Peter
Always forget they have Peter Andre the Giant. Good call then.
It was good he got a taste of it, he was ok for a first gamer but he`ll probably go back to the VFL now but at least he knows what the standard is he needs to get to to be an AFL player.

He’s in pretty decent form as well
In a perfect world would prefer Biggy or Miller but just can’t see anyone being a decent match up but Taz
Balta probably misses next week, Gibcus comes back to replace Biggy, Tarrant replaces Balta.
Not sure I'd go in with both Gibcus and Biggy at this stage, leaves us a bit light on for experience back there.
No he's not.
Miller's timid.
We'll pick Tylar Young in the mid-season draft and play him if needed.

Dimma backed him in to play next week during his post-match press conference.
Not enough grunt. A long long term prospect. In sonsie or banks, stack, Gibcus and Tarrant. Out Castagna Rioli biggie and balta (Inj). Need speed and some better ball handlers. Rioli and quite a few others fumbled a lot today.

Thought he was bad but I blame Dimma for having biggie last line

Was longing for Tarrant by the 3rd q
I heard that too. Not sure if it was an off the cuff encouragement or generally they plan to play him again.
If Balta misses, I would be a bit worried about 2 metre Peter. It would be Gibcus or Biggy on him, and that's giving away a far bit of experience and size I'd be a bit nervous.

Would be great to see Biggie get another game to see if he can build on his debut game. I've been of the belief since preseason that a back line built around Balta Gibcus and Biggie/Miller as the talls is a solid starting point to our next generation defensive unit. Biggie was solid enough to warrant a second game as we need to find out the likes of him and Miller moving forward
Thought he was alright for most of the game, just looked completely lost 1on1 when Balta was subbed out.
I don't mind the idea of Biggy playing on Wright, but we definitely need a back up option. Biggy could really hurt him on the rebound in a way Tarrant can't.
Balta was a pefect match up for him as he could do both to a very high level

I don’t think stack is playing better than Castanga right now tbh. Dimma loves him too much to drop him anyway.
Stack is by far a better dancer
I said earlier that he reminds me of Chol a little bit in the way he plays. Yes he does need a bit more grunt,
but in a game where the Hawks were scoring through minimal entries, you could say our backs had bad mojo that game or you could give some credit the hawks tall forward line that were marking the ball very well. like ours were doing at the other end.....so it was a tough game for our backs overall.
