Its not a bad idea. Hibberd doesnt seem to have lost any of his speed. But who goes into Hibbos role?

The tiger army might have helped but the way the Crows are applying pressure doesnt make our loss seem so bad.

Covid really helping non melbourne based teams. It will nullify vic team home advantage which ironically is why interstate clubs do so well.

My 3 word player analysis V Bulldogs
I get the feeling he will start holding more marks soon...many dropped are juggled or bounce out. Hes only 19 and once this clicks he will start kicking goals. Unlike all other forwards Luke has been running all over the ground rucking which takes its toll energy and strength wise. Its not like the blokes sitting in a forward pocket contesting only when the ball comes in so that must have an impact.

I certainly dont know what Tmac has done but he could market it and make millions. Last year he could barely move. I saw him running last night and he was super fast. Yes he was sprinting and moving at great speed for a bloke his size especially in a late stage of the game. Its a great turn around. Credit to him and the fitness and or medical staff. An incredible transformation. As much as we talk about bb, sam, May, Max and Oliver....I really believe Tom is the key to us winning a flag. Sounds like a big call but he is our best forward easily....more so than Fritta. When he is on which has been most games this year, he is very dangerous. His marking around the ground in several games has been prolific.. hes deadly accurate on goal....he tackles hard and as mentioned his running is awesome.

Well reasoned post. I like Sam. Hes just not as good as Bb. The fact of the matter is Bb is a freak talent. Had a poor year last year but the three years prior was the best ff in the comp easily. Sam is not a bad player and Id love to see him succeed because I get tge feeling he goves his all. But they are not in the same league so to speak. Bb has proven himself as a star full forward. Sam hasnt. Its not to say Sam wont be great but its a fair assumption that its unlikely he will be as good as bb was. I know Sam is young and still developing and has more longevity but bb has an awesome record. Before anyone says records are in the past, its the same reason Fritta wasnt dropped after a few poor games. Its been proven what they CAN do. I wouldnt drop Weid this week but if he plays again like last night then its move over time. Sure they were two timely goals but its just a pass game at best.As bad as Bb was at vfl level according to reports...its a worry Sam played like he did with his spot under pressure. Dont get me wrong Id love Sam to be a great player but I prefer Bb. The facts are one has been great and the other not. if Sam plays better next week, more power to him and more success to us. Its not about either or for me its about the mfc getting a flag.Im sure we all feel the same.

Thanks Dz. Did he ever play forward just out of interest? That mark he took was a ripper.

Agree with Sam W. It wasnt enough. But I thought the club was hasty in dropping bb after three games so Im going to be fair and suggest they let Sam string a few before they pull the plug if required. Altough I am really torn bw doing the right thing by players and fielding our best team. I think Bb and Sw are very different players. Bb is a classic full forward and Sam is a classic Chf. Tmac can play anywhere. On this basis I am inclined to play Bb as long as we keep playing Tom at Chf. Tom is also a better chf than Sam is so it leaves Sam on the outer Im afraid.its a very interesting problem bw Sam and Bb and the sooner we resolve it the better. The truth be told Tmac has surprised everyone by his incredible form but we would not be anywhere the team we are without him. I also think the club is worried about losing Sam given he is younger and still developing his craft. But the window for a flag with this player group is this year and next and and outside chance the following. So if that means playing bb and Sam leaves its a no brainer in end. Bb was the keading goal kicker for three years in a row prior to last year in an average team. He had one bad year. Tom had two so its not like bb who was better cant turn things around. If he returns to his previous form we will go gangbusters. I hope Im wrong and Sw starts kicking oodles of goals each week but all signs point to the player with the proven record.
