Haven’t watched the 2nd half yet, but did a couple nice things in the first. Seems to at least look a lot more comfortable out there compared to last year. 1 Quote

He got better the longer the game went and does stick to his task. But mostly the 2 main competitors for his job got injured today (plus McVee is already out). 1 Quote

Neil Crompton 5,852 Posted February 22 Posted February 22 (edited) I read where Sestan was impressive off half back in the two’s. Is he a chance for a run next week to take AMW’s spot? I’d certainly like to see him given a shot. Edited February 22 by Neil Crompton 2 Quote

If he is playing in our side in any capacity I’m of some concern to be honest. Does some nice things but too many errors come with it. With 8-9 players who *will* come back into our side surely he would be pushed to the end of the emergency list. 2 Quote

When JVR goes into the ruck our forward line is fairly uncompetitive. One of Johnson or Jeffo will have a spot in Round 1 imo. (Or Tmac back and Petty forward) 1 Quote

SPC 3,596 Posted February 22 Posted February 22 AMW would have played as he is an excellent tackler and good on the very quick crafty small forward. Not sure we have a replacement. Bowey is a poor tackler and Salem too slow. Kynan Brown has pace and DNA, but not been playing in that role. With McVee out and GWS with elite small forwards, it’s a glaring issue. 2 Quote

He certainly has the disposal, but AMW and McVee are defend first, attacking backman. Rivers obviously can, but he appears to be too valuable in the midfield now. 1 Quote

With McVee out and GWS with elite small forwards, it’s a glaring issue. My thoughts as well. It’s a a bad round 1 opponent to face given their plethora of quality small forwards (Greene, Daniels, Jones) and we’re already two accountable small defenders down. I reckon Brown could potentially play the McVee role but it’s probably too late in the piece to up-skill him down back. 1 1 Quote

Chandler should and likely will play round 1. Creates a good outlet from wing to inside 50 and has tremendous goal sense. Without Kozzie we’re, down a small forward and we’re going to have to find 13-15 goals to beat GWS and Chandler’s proven that he can snag 2-3 at the G when on song. I agree with you that Howes and Laurie provide no point of difference as players. Quote
