That's not to say Clark is wrong, but before getting too excited I'd like confirmation first. I think it's a good idea to get some games into the "next best" after the starting 22. We may need them in September and I would rather have them with some experience of the senior team game rather than coming in cold. Jay wouldn’t post it if he didn’t know, he gets inside mail

Jaded No More 68,976 Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Bowey for Rivers is not very like for like, as Rivers does play a shut down role. Bowey would be playing a similar role to either Salem or Hunt. So either Salem needs a rest, or they've had enough of Hunt's turnovers?

There are some things that are bigger than a game of football, particularly in the middle of a pandemic when families are under a lot of stress. I would completely understand and respect their choices and would certainly not hold a loss or two against them; in fact, I’d be very surprised if their absence would necessarily lead to a loss in those games. 3

Hell you had it easy. I was born in the sea because my dear mum wanted a water birth. But we didn't have a home, so I had to tread water until the tide came in. I've still got barnacles on my legs. Fortunately we moved inland to a trout farm. The water's cold but the fish are friendly 1 2
DubDee 26,667 Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 I knew if I kept Bowey in my SuperCoach team all year it would pay off! 1

Yes, I am aware of the strain from new-borns, but it’s 1 week, not 6 months. the world has become soft! Agree the players and families should be able to make this sacrifice for a week or two. I was away for a couple of 3 week work trips when my kids were babies. My employer did not give me a choice. Admittedly it was not during a pandemic but my wife had no support. She did it tough and we all survived. Unless there are extreme circumstances I have no doubt the MFC players and families will make this sacrifice 1

I would not mind him having time in the middle but hes in a slump Spargs just needs to get into the forward line alone (not necessarily inside the 50m arc, in fact, preferably not) and be seen as such in a circular waltz, ready to be seen and fed with low passes. Then his footy smarts, his good foot passing and his calming ease can do their work in the feeding of forwards (provided that those forwards are not static blocks of salt in the hot zone). 1

No way Hunt gets dropped after last week's game, which was an improvement on his previous weeks. You'd imagine it will either be Rivers or Hibberd. 3
