Seeming as Rivers is out, would this be a good idea to give the young'un a go against Carlton?

Out of the three young big men he's definitely the most physically ready to step up.

A local boy too, I say give him a crack. but nicho will probably get the nod.

You would think so...

Chance of ND actually making that change...next to none

I'm so jelous that you picked him up! I was praying that perhaps he would drop down to our second pick!

I'd play him! He would fit in quite nicely i think!

He is quick and a good mark etc. but he has a really unorthodox kicking style on his preferred left foot. I would hate to see him on his right!

My point? That is a lot of very young players with varying degrees of experiance, I don't think we need another debutant this week.

he wont get picked, nicho will

since he is in the leadership group ND will give him oppertunities.

though against carlton if Fergeson who i really hope players on Fevola stops Fevola then thats about it for tall forwards. Wheatley will play on Waite if he goes up the ground or Bizzell will take him when he goes back to FF

the one of wheatley or bizzell that aint on waite can take whitnall if he plays up forward which aint a certainty, especially if we put Dutchy and Neitz back to FF and bruce perhaps 2
