Makes his selection illogical

5 day break could be a factor remembering he's only playing because Cal got sick

If there was one position that would be fine after a 5 day break, it's his. I'd see a lot more benefit in starting him and subbing in Levi for more run and ball winning in the fourth.
 
You'd hope he isn't sub. Is an illogical choice. Although we all know Fagan doesn't use subs tactically.
I don't see it as illogical.
First, he is a low possession (for VFL) but is a goal kicker in the VFL.
This year i have only watched a few VFL games but posters that go to the games say he can't tackle.
Looked at his tackle stats 0, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0.
So, he is not really a like for like defensive forward similar to Ah -Chee.

I prefer him as sub (only because he is named in the team) and not needed if things all go smoothly.
He could very well start on field and if he does i hope he does well.
He would need to improve though.
 
This we seem the worst team in the comp for this
Like we scared to tackle.. Then they end up side stepping or just running through the player.
I say we up there for the worst tackling team bar a couple of players.

I remember Neil saying it was a deliberate tactic they used to beat the Hawk duck, it's certainly an arrow to have in your quiver but not as a go to.
 
If there was one position that would be fine after a 5 day break, it's his. I'd see a lot more benefit in starting him and subbing in Levi for more run and ball winning in the fourth.
I am the opposite way of thinking.
I would play Levi as he is proven at this level and gives us more flexibility. Levi gives us more run for over 3/4 of the game compared to just 1 fourth quarter. That's assuming he is the one that gets subbed off.
It could be Lohmann subbed off if he struggles again or Lohmann could start as sub in case McLachlan (if he starts on field) is struggling.

I would just have Bailey playing majority forward and Levi sole wing/forward relief.
McLachlan or Lohmann sub. Whichever small forward is not producing comes off.
Of course, any injury to a tall stuffs everything up.

But we will not be having any injuries this week.

In the days after Carlton sacked Brendon Bolton, Dave Thornton was on the radio with JB and Billy Brownless. When they asked Thornton to do his Dave Hughes impression, the message to the Carlton players was simple: "get the ball, kick it through the big ones! Jesus! How hard is it Bill"?

Let's hope accuracy and not profligacy is the theme tonight.
 
Apparently someone is playing their 350th game this evening.

You wouldn't know though, I switched on SEN a few times today & no one even mentioned it................. sigh.
Be lot’s of wet pants in the commentary box tonight 🤢

I want a 50m out on a 40 degree angle from Sam Day.


galvanize the troops and send a message
 
I won't be able to watch the game tonight, I imagine it'll either be a blessing or a curse.

Cannot wait to find out.
 
I too am not expecting a win....

..if we are in front at qtr time, I'll be worried of a run down later in the game.

Haven't been able to go into a game expecting a win pretty much all year.

We are so far off how we played last year its not funny
