Love the ins although I can't believe Bell survived after his woeful performance last week and to a lesser extent Harwood and C.Beams, they are very lucky we have a few out injured at the moment. Agree with TheZork Bastinac is stiff to miss out for Bell after a few BOGs in the ressies.
I am really positive about what Hammer Time can do up forward after watching a few of the NEAFL live streams lately, just hope we can get it up there often enough for him to show us what hes got.

Not even named an emergency after stringing together a few dominant games in the reserves. There must be something going on behind the scenes
What I hypothesise happened is that Fagan is just putting his foot down because he knows Bastinac can do better. I reckon he knows Bell, Beams and Harwood are just terrible and give it the best they've got. But Bastinac has played 150 and is genuinely good enough to be playing AFL at a reasonable level unlike the others.

Incredible that Bell keeps getting a game. There is nobody more useless than he is.
Yes it is rather concerning when we're still playing Harwood, Beams and Bell. 3 of Bastinac/Mathieson/Rockliff/Robinson/Christensen would certainly look a lot better. Hopefully Bastinac and Mathieson come in next week.
It is now official.

Interesting to see it worded as Schache (omitted) and not (rested).
See how he goes in the 2's and if he can lift.

One of the great mysteries of the 21st Century right there. Perhaps Fagan has a sense of humour. Either way, looks like we get to watch Bell drop marks as soon as there is any body pressure on him, telegraph his intentions when thinking about switching play on the half back line before eventually doing so and kicking it directly to an opponent inside 50, handball it to no one, kick it over the heads of leading forwards and generally make a spud of himself for another week. Strap yourself in, it's going to be another ring ding dinger from Bell this week. I can feel it.

Bastinac and Bewick are pretenders. Their problem is fundamental. They don't go in.Harwood,Beames and Bell are below the talent level,probably there due to injuries. Witherdon, McStay, Skinner and Cox will supplant them sooner preferably, than later.

Fair dinkum, I would have him in the ressies for the rest of the year based on his form this year. Sticking with Close and Hipwood is the future for us. If he doesn't want to be at the Lions, let him go. He appears to have a heart the size of a pea anyway.

I am thinking that we will get to see just how big of a heart he has over the next couple of weeks.
I could not imagine he will be back in next week unless he has an absolute cracker in the 2's. Or Hammer or Close have an absolute shocker. So therefore not before the bye.
We will get to see if he is willing to fight.

I'll raise you C.Beams- slowest bloke in afl... if the ball doesn't land within a metre if him he is out of the contest.
No shortage of passengers unfortunately.

Bell couldn't tear his way out of a wet paper bag at the moment- hopefully he proves me wrong

Looking across the line up on the app with the photos.. and its just.. young.. young.. young.. young.. not old... young.. young...
We are.. young.
Would have liked to have left Beams out for one more week, early prediction is he does his quad again and this time it will be an 8 weeker.

Not just 'on a feeling', genuinely think 2 weeks for a quad is a quick return.
Dayne would be pushing for selection, he has the type of body where you cant push things, just hope he isnt 80% is all.
