Won't happen I'm certain. Especially after Crouch's hamstring issue last year. Will be eased back.

Agree Porps is struggling but Hendo has done nothing this season to warrant inclusion.
But whose done more? Crouch needs to ease into it as you said and Hen do is a slightly better tackler than Porplyzia.. Slightly..
Yes he has, when we were playing shite he was playing some good consistent footy. Too good of a swingman to be kept out of the side by a struggling Porplyzia.
Hendo? He's played decent footy this year, certainly a better bet than the beached dolphin at this point, shattering though it is to see such a wonderful player seemingly cooked by injury.

Don't use the term swingman with Carl, he has bad dreams about our last swingman.
Hendo gives me far more confidence in his ability than the player you are referring to.

I'm glad that I had an opportunity to watch him live today, he came in and slotted into our midfield like he had been playing along side Thommo, Danger & co for 3-4 seasons
He just seems like a natural footballer who just knows how to find the pill
Very impressive
He just plays that brand of footy you love to see doesn't he? In and under, mongrel, believes in himself but understands his limitations. Absolute competitor. He is going to play a lot of footy for us.

He just looks like a player who's bad games will still be pretty good, a bit like Zoomer

Bring Martin or even Johncock in then.
Porps is embarrassing himself at present - let him get his mojo back in the SANFL.
Lyons will be a gun, I'm genuinely excited about watching him develop now.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Not sure what you are remembering but Hendo has looked absolutely lost this year with no clearly defined role. He had one solid game (against the Bulldogs) but has been poor in every other match. Terrible in defence too so not a swing man in the slightest.
Yes, Porps has been rubbish but the difference is that we know he can play well when it counts. The others we could pick we know won't - so what's the point? Crouch is a different case and as I've said, once fit I would have him in for Porps. Might only be a stay of execution for one or two weeks but you'd rather do that and if he happens to kick a few and get back on track - you beauty.
Lyons game today was the best sub game we've had
I thought he was super impressive when he came on. When I saw him with the green vest I thought he may be lucky to get the last 25 minutes. Truck came off early and he got a good run. They know how to get them up and going down at the Bay, Lynch, Lyons, McKernan.
He showed what we have been glaringly lacking in the midfield recently.
It's exciting seeing these young guys doing so well so early on in their careers

F--k I rate this kid. Hard as a cats head, clean and crisp like an icy cold Sparkling Ale.
The BFness in me is finding it hard not to bitch about why he wasn't in earlier. I mean, we all saw it. And it's not a only GWS thing. His toughness in close is great to watch.

Maybe he should start as sub again next week. He did it perfectly.
