List Mgmt. Welcome Matt Flynn (Unrestricted Free Agent)

[FKASC]

Think Flynn will do really well with more game time - really a matter now of how they balance Bailey and him. And also what they do with Barnett going forward

Hopefully, we use Flynn as an intercepting backman when he's not rucking and have BJ go on sprints from the goal square to the wings and knacker the opponent's taller KPD's.

I'd be pretty disappointed if we go back to having 2 ruckmen lining up each week with them combining for 100-125% TOG.

Other teams have their rucks resting and playing 85-90% TOG, freshening up their mids. KPP's usually sit around 95-100% TOG.

Both BJ and Flynn can play 100+ minutes, so use them and rest the explosive players.

While our mids are young, they'll probably need more bench time as they build their tanks, so having BJ do 60% and Flynn do 65% wouldn't be enough of a chop out. Expect blowouts at the end of games if that's the way they play it.

More likely we go back to Land of Giants in the forwardline and BW just rucks for 20% of the game

Couple of decent articles from splinters after an interview with Matt Flynn

Talks about his partnership with Bailey Williams and the confidence he’s gained from seeing Briggs develop at GWS

Also courtesy of him knowing Gilbee at GWS he’s developing a good bond between he, Reid and Chesser as he settles in

31 hitouts, 12 touches, five tackles, four marks, two clearances on club debut for big Matt Flynn.

All from 64% time on ground and only seven centre bounces.

Looking at his GWS numbers, he averaged 72%, 74% and then 77% TOG in each season, for a career average of 74%. 31 hitouts is his eighth best total in his career.

The tank will build and we can let him go nuts, with either Williams available for a chop out. Welcome to the club, mate.

He was good, but I would like to have seen him use his size more to take full possession of it and get it to our mids.
