Any reason Harmes or Jordon can't play the same role, players who win more of the pill perhaps Their endurance levels are more than adequate to cover Sparrow's relentless running for 65% time on ground

Depends how Brown/McDonald finish the year

Wonder if the Eagles would be keen to split pick 1, like they split pick 2 last year....

Sam van Rooyen with Freo's (our) 2nd rounder 🤞

Spargo to play as a distributor out of half back Salem to role through the midfield to add a touch of class Bowey on a wing

Jacko was poorly advised to move back, I feel a bit for him to be honest

Jacko is getting less ruck time than with us

Dokkas are a Serong hamstring away from being a wooden spoon threat

Dogs up by 19 What could go wrong

No Brown

I'm not sure about a breakdown of actual midfield minutes, but you can check out centre bounce attendances below: https://dfsaustralia.com/afl-cbas/?team=MEL&season=2023

He's small but he sure packs a punch

Melbourne small forward Kade Chandler’s increased senior opportunities this year are set to convince him to commit his future to the red and blue, according to sources familiar with the situation. .........Chandler’s strong start to the season, on top of the opposition interest in him, means he is poised for another multi-year contract, although any potential deal may not be locked in until closer to mid-year.

Brown has kicked 9 goals in 3 games, there's still life left in him yet JVR has kicked 6 goals in (his first) 3 games The common theme has been the midfield getting absolutely smashed in our losses

It's in Tassie :(

Gus had a fantastic 2021 finals series & deserves credit for being one of the main reasons the momentum shifted in our favour during the grandfinal. While he's capable of having good games in the role, he isn't a good wingman and was average for the entirety of the regular season. He finished outside the top 10 in the B&F, we priorised Jordon over Gus all throughout 2022 & specifically went after Hunter for season 2023 onwards. It's pretty clear Goodwin & co don't rate him as a permanent winger, nor should they given his lack of athleticism. The defensive running stuff is nice, but the better wingman (Hunter & Langdon) are capable of doing that and actually getting the footy.
