Great to see the selectors stick with Wiggins and Bowden.
Wallace would have had the both of them on the conveyor line back to Werribee this week.
They are both talls and we are desperate for talls. Give them a couple more weeks each so we can at least assess them .
Great to see Skipper in as well.
Time to take these guys out of cotton wool and to see if they really have what it takes.
Having said all this I will be suprised if they play all 3 this week although I can see no reason why not....

Yeah it is good to see them both still in, and they should stay in for al least this week, cause they didnt do anything wrong last week.
Anyway i hope skip does get a game this week as well, cause i think he deserves his chance, and now.

Yep great stuff, they need to be persisted with because they are our future and even if they are dropped there are no more talls t replace them with!

Good to see the selectors persisting with them -

Perhaps a meaningful role and some significant game time for them now will help their progress along a little. Bowden was pretty good when he was on last week and I have a feeling that if Wiggins is just left in the square he will settle into the role and take abit of pressure off of Browny.

Key question is who plays on Nietz.

If it's not Croft, then I expect him to play in the goal square. Perhaps then it's between Bowden and Wiggins to see who plays as thethird tall, assuming Bandy plays CHF.

If Wiggins can't get his hands on the pill this week against a depleted undersized and inexperienced Melbourne defence then questions will be asked.
If Brown and Bandy get the best defenders and maybe even Crofty then Wiggins could get his opportunity to fire up.
