HUGE talent!
Such a shame he's had the injury (bad)luck that he's had
I think on talent and athletic attributes alone he could be more versatile than Marchbank. Just needs the continuity

Why does a youthful side = bold football ?
We dont have anywhere near the midfield to take teams on this way will only get very ugly as weve seen for the past 3 seasons if we adopt this approach .
Until the club stops the softly softly approach to building our midfield that wont change imo .
We would have more if Pat McCarthy, Matthew Watson, Josh Bootsma, Troy Menzel, Tom Temay, Boekhorst and DVR were not all busts from Rogers era for types that would be in that age range now.
His strike rate of one win of Crippa from 8 picks you expect to find at least 3 or 4 is why it is proving so hard to fill that gap.
Edit: Meanwhile looking up the same age group SOS was involved picking for GWS a team could look like this:
Plowman, Tomlinson, Bugg or Buntine
Whitfield, Haynes, Marchbank
T Adams, Treloar, Shiel
D Smith, J Cameron, Steele
Greene, Patton, Hoskin-Elliott
T Boyd, Coniglio, Kelly
The rest of 22 from Lobb, Pickett, Dom Tyson , Cam McCarthy & James Stewart
He did not miss much in that time.

It does not. Youthful side playing bold football would be nice to see.
If we had the right mix of players to play that style id agree but we dont imo .
We probably don't with our injury list but against Hawks I would give it a bash. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Fair enough i dont like our chances even with the hawks having a few out but time will tell .
Predicting tomorrow;
Tom Mitchell to have 65 possessions, of which 2 are contested, 2 tackles, 4 marks. Adjudjed again to have minimal impact on the game, he goes home with no brownlow votes.
Meanwhile....
Patrick Cripps to have his usual 32 possessions, 28 contested, 12 tackles, and 3 goals. Picking up the maximim votes in a losing side.
And....
C. Curnow to take mark of the year.

just possibly bwooce........
Of all the mid-tier teams this year, we match up with Hawthorn best. They depend heavily on a couple of midfielders (as do we). They have a bottom 6 players that is as weak as ours (but younger) and depend heavily on their team defensive structure but can be vulnerable to long kicks and contested marks (where we are reasonably strong). If we match them in contested possessions and don't turn the ball over against their zone we can win... as we did last year
But then you remember how much of a shambles we have been recently - our structure has fallen apart, our young kids have tired and played only in spurts, and we've had horrific turnovers that have killed us in the backline in each of our last few games... and you realise this will be 10 goals at least.
Hopefully we can push the Hawks today...
