Surprised Hunt is not mentioned as a possible candidate for omission . Whilst he is intermittently spectacular , he surprises on  a weekly basis with his low disposal numbers .  I would love to see Grimes get an opportunity .

Disposals aren't everything. I thought Hunt was very good on the weekend.

Hunt provides run that Grimes can't. I actually thought Hunt was among the best in the first half, he tired a little in the second but he is still young and has a high ceiling. That "spectacular" run is invaluable, we havent had that kind of pace coming out the backline for as long as i remember. Not everyone can be 30+ accumulators you need c couple of players who can have 15 touches and still have an influence. I'd like him to lower his eyes once in a while but I wouldnt want him taken out of the side. If they wanted to rest him, then sure, but with the bye coming, i doubt it

[The Sailing Demon 379]

Out: Wagner (Love him, but give him a spell in the 2's)
In: M. Jones. (Was very good for us before he did his ribs and would like his experience)

But even then...Lumumba are just as capable.

How good is having depth?!?!

Interesting to hear big Maxy call Jayden Hunt's name during the game. "Hunt! Hunt!"

Fascinating.

[binman 39,463]

Put this in the Grimes thread but relavant here also:

 I think Grimes is real chance of being picked this weekend, replacing Stretch. Good time to give Billy a rest with the bye coming up and Grimes is playing a similar role at Casey (wing/mid). It will be atough, wet game so an a mid twenties hardened AFL player will come in very handy.

I also thought these comments from Plapp in this VFL player review were interesting and perhaps a indicator Grimes is a chance:

'He was taken off the ground at three quarter time due to some stuff at AFL level that we just needed him to be ready for but we were really happy with Grimesy.'

[sydneydee 662]

3 changes given 6 day turn around and forecasted wet conditions. 

Matt Jones for Stretch

Mitchie for Oscar McDonald

Harmes/Grimes for Oliver

Effectively replacing kids for some more seasoned footballers. 

 

 

[DubDee 21,898]

id reckon swans will bring in a ruck like Nankervis.  so they have another tall in fwd line. him or sinclair

I noticed in the Casey game on the weekend Grimes seemed to come off very early in the last or maybe even late 3rd and didn't come back on... Did not look injured, I wonder if he is already been considered for the trip to SYD due to the 6 day turnaround ??

Said much the same a few days ago Binman, I reckon he will play.

Those calling for Vanders to be dropped have rocks in their head. His 2 or 3 games back.....ready to breakout..... We need his hard body against Sydney.

Watched the replay last night to confirm Vanders went more than ok and had about 5 goal assists and some great tackles and important blocks so I agree whole heartedly with you gOLLY

Oliver out?  He has been managed superbly this year, and will get another rest next week.  We are playing a tough. contested footy team, and you want to drop one of our beasts?

Don't think Oscar will be dropped either.  While he is still making some frustrating mistakes, it's clear that he's improving each week.

My money will be on "No Change", but could see the Stretch omission being a possibility.  Would presume he would be replaced by one of Grimes, M Jones or ANB.

The bye coming up will provide the young blokes with the handy rest you are speaking of bin. Doubt the FD would drop a key play maker/link man unless he was dropping off substantially (a small blip against the Hawks but bounced back ok on Monday) and the bye weeks away.

Reckon they'll run with no changes this week.

Not sure we can pick all our bigs? Three defenders over 195 cm? One has to go especially with Tippett out.

Depends on who they bring in, but might be time to give Oscar a rest if a big needs to go out? Especially if it's wet
