It's legitimately the only skill he demonstrated in his otherwise bland performances with us.
A couple of marks in between being outmarked by small defenders does not constitute a reliable skill IMO.

If X is out, I wouldn't be against giving Goad a run. Sure he might not have the body yet, but he's been our best performing ruck in the VFL this year. See how he goes against Gawn.
So you acknowledge that he doesn't have the body yet but still think he should make his league debut against the most decorated ruck of his generation?

I do. He's performed better than Teakle and CCJ. He's already competed against AFL-level ruckman this year, I'd be fine to see how he goes in the big time.
 
I'm gonna assume the ones who were 'Test' as a return date will likely come back given our game is a Sunday game next week.

That means potentially we can have Archer, Comben, Ford, Goater, LMac, Parker and also Wardlaw available.
LDU seems to be the only out from this past week, unless someone pulls up during training.

Out: Logue (omit), Scott (omit), Duursma (omit) , LDU (Concussion)
In: Comben, LMac, Parker, Wardlaw

Banch in for sub over RHJ.

Keep Harvey in for a full game, don't drop Shotgun before Logue. Maley stays in as well.

Archer to get fitness through the VFL.
 
Out: Caleb Daniel

Cut the loss, own up to the poor recruitment, but we absolutely cannot play this guy anymore. Absolute liability.

You simply cannot be that small and that slow and expect to be a professional AFL player…

Could we give Brayden George a game or is it still to early given all of his injuries he's had....l wouldnt mind seeing George and Banch in at the expense of RHJ and Duursma..
Still quite a way off but tracking nicely
 
Is Wardlaw available to come back in for LDU?

Pretty sure it will have been 12 days since the hawks game.

He needs to come back into the VFL imo. Get some fitness back into him as he’s missed so many games due to injuries this year already.

He was having **** all impact and in average form to warrant to get straight back in anyways
 
Melbourne are in all sorts.

Been watching them very closely because they tend to rely on stoppage dominance and clearance to win games which is a bit like us. They don't have much of a forward line with Kozzie playing more midfield.

I'd have Phillips go straight to Oliver. We also need to make sure May is accountable. If Larkey is sore, need to give Maley a bit more freedom to contest and leap against May. Lever as well.

Without LDU, I'm not too concerned in the slightest. I think we run too many mids in there anyway so its a great opportunity for the young blokes to flex their muscles.

I really want Phillips to make it. Make or break.
