Cleary is a pretty different type to JJ. Not sure he’s the automatic in. Has Cleary even been better than Crozier at VFL level in recent weeks?

Possible silver lining of JJ's injury is that it gives Gallagher a clear path into the AFL team if he's got it. Keen to watch him play at VFL level over the next few weeks
What a horrible thing to say. The kid has been nowhere near that bad.JOD reminds me a bit about Gardner's first 10-15 games. Clearly has the athletic tools - 195+cm players that can run, jump and win the ball below the knees are rare - and you just back in that they can read the game and develop experience over time.
When has not playing in a role stopped Bevo from putting someone in the team for that role though?Cleary isn't a high defender so the roles aren't 1:1. He is competing with Duryea for a spot. That won't necessarily mean he won't play, but it's not a straight swap like is being suggested here.

You're right, I'm convinced.When has not playing in a role stopped Bevo from putting someone in the team for that role though?
I doubt we'd want him sitting that long on the planes unless he's 100%Maybe take Treloar on the trip and give him some sun as well.
I had the same wondering. Not that I would go down this path at all, but I also wouldn't be surprised to see him put Hannan back at half back...Would the match committee pull the trigger on Vandermeer? He's not going to make it as a forward.
Personally I’d go from 8 talls to 6.
Night games in Darwin is basically 4 quarters of dealing with a football covered in soap.
I’m happy to rest Marra cause those type of conditions will never suit his game style but I’d be open with taking o’brien out in addition to O’Donnell.
The chances of us resting Jamarra Ugle-Hagan on a trip the the northern territory sit somewhere between buckleys and none. We're a club that has unfortunately very little history in the indigenous space and this is a great opportunity for us. Jamarra Ugle-Hagan isn't a NT boy, though I'm not sure whether his ancestors are, what he is though is a fantastuc representation of what we are trying to build.Personally I’d go from 8 talls to 6.

Given the wacky nature of the VFL fixture. There really wasn't much point in dropping JO'D this week.It's tricky to predict what Bevo will do with selection (and that's an understatement!) but I feel he will persevere with JOD in the senior side. Perhaps he gets a gig as the sub, but I think Bevo will have liked what he saw when JOD went back. My money is on a medium defender to be brought into the side for JJ and no other change (unless the Bont needs a spell.)
Orrrrr we stick with the structure that has led us to win our last 6 games
That’s all well and good, but he is invisible as a forward - we’re a man down with him on the ground. Either he plays down back over TOB/Gardner or he continues to develop in the 2s.Yep, no doubt.
He trained with Footscray over the pre-season, and was part of the U18 systems. He was "only in the system for a matter of weeks" because we basically signed him the day he became Cat B eligible, essentially three years to the day that he last played a competitive footy game before focusing on cricket. But presumably he grew, proved athleticism as he entered adulthood, and had clubs and managers tell him to keep training in footy but hold out for Cat B eligibility as he might be a borderline late draft pick in an open draft but would be guaranteed to be picked up by a club if they could do it outside list spot/salary cap.

You look at half the league that have injury crises and both ends - currently Richmond with no tall forwards are playing Essendon with no key defenders - and developing talls to add to depth is very important.
personally, my money is on Vandermeer coming in as a like-for-like.
Then rolled onto a wing in 2HYou're right, I'm convinced.
Cleary to ruck.
