Story in the Sun today... With gardy ouy, perfect time to give Big Ben a run and ease him into AFL.

Would like to see Allen given a run as well. Liked his form in the NAB cup, could be a handy asset up forward.

Heck, get Howard and Eddy in too :D:D

Who you drop, not too sure.. Gardy is injured, and i'd like to see Fergo back in there, gotta give him more than 2 weeks...

Montagna has got to be dropped on form. Worst form in the group. Allen and Eddy will definitely have a go. They showed that in the NAB cup.

Howard.............. Hopefully can give it a red hot crack!

Would like to see Allen string some games together - has not been in form.

Howard will still be lost at AFL level. Is getting better and is real quick, but has come from a long way back.

Eddy looks solid, but will be a shame that Miles would then not be able to be promoted (he is a good size and quick).

Congrats to Macca who has played a number of good games with Casey. Big responsibility though for King, as Macca will not touch it against Sandilands in ruck contests.

Could always give Blake a whack, I seem to recall him using Sandilands as a stepladder in the Sirengate game, magnificent performance

Blakey seems to have stripped down over summer to play a running role. I think with King coming to the club and the return of Gardiner from injury the club isn't looking to play him there.

Having said this, we got control of the game against Essendon back when Blake went into the ruck (and we got kosi the hell outa there).

I think I have blanked the sirengate game (lost money on the amended result).

Will be great to see some of these guys get a run, but I hope the selecters dont get as carried away as yourself. I'm pretty sure Freo would beat the Scorps.
A team with Mc Qualter , Gwilt , Howard, Allen , Fergason, McEvoy , Eddy , Armitage , and Geary - would no doubt be very enthusiastic but I would have serious concerns.

I know he is young, but he was an out there pick, late in the draft in hope of finding a gem.. However it has failed, time for him to play out in casey and be delisted and not waste time with him.

I would suggest not playing all of them at once, but definitely getting games into them...Eg, there are 8 players named there, have 4-5 spots up for them and rotate the kids that way..Hard decisions need to be made on current players like Milne, Blake and co...

Funny thing is, i think we have the cattle, just select the wrong ones too often

I would like to see Eddy get Milne's spot for interstate games. If he proves he is good enough he might get the local games as well.

I do not think Brad Howard should be selected. Yes, i agree with all the other youngsters getting selected. Players like McEvoy, Armitage, Eddy, Gwilt, Ferg, Allen and McQualter have all shown some solid VFL form at various times. Howard getting in the VFL best has been rare.

So although i do agree that all the promising youngsters getting a chance, they should still be selected by earning their place. Throwing in youngsters for the sake of it will not produce ideal results.
