Those who have lauded his defensive abilities might like to think about him as running HBF? AMWs replacement! As iterated I personally dont think he does enough as a forward, so why not?? ANY TAKERS?

I think Woewodin would be my first choice, then maybe Lindsay.

Definitely a hard nut. Has the tank and work ethic. For me questions marks on ball use and footy IQ. 

With Salem, McVee, Windsor, Bowey, Howes and Rivers part time, i think we have the depth to cover. 

We’re crying out for small forwards as it is and have sufficient depth off the HBF. Although the injury to AMW is less than ideal, I wouldn’t be taking Chandler from the forward line when we’ll already be missing Pickett and ANB (although we may find Sharp is able to assist - but I’ll need more exposed form than his game against Norf, as impressive as it was).  

Chandler was 8th in the best and fairest last year. The rest of our small forwards are injured or suspended.

Can people please learn about modern footy and the value of defensive pressure and positioning of small forwards. 

Leave him up forward.

With Kozzie out, he's our leading small goal kicker and is generally an excellent set shot at goal as evidenced by his 66% accuracy in terms of goals/total shots (excluding any out on the fulls).

We'd love his 21 goals a season to turn into the 30's but I'm not sure he has that in him. Plus he's also there to provide forward pressure and created a good outlet between wing and half forward.

Along with some of our other forwards such as JVR, he had a disappointing final month last year in terms of goal kicking output.

I definitely see what you're thinking picket, but i think the club has Caleb Windsor in mind to do exactly this, dash off half back

Top 10 in the B&F at any club is seen as an achievement.

8th in the best and fairest in a team that won 11 games.

This particular exchange rings a bell...

😏

Given we are more than likely going to be adding Windsor, Salem and May to our backiline for the next praccy against Freo, a more relavant question is which other 2 backline players as well as the unlucky AMW will miss out.
