We won't have our best mix til my boy Bailey Laurie is locked in

Spargo to Caleb Daniel ANB to Bailey Dale Stop their rebounding half backs and you'll slow the dogs. Treloar & Dunkley out helps - run Harmes with Macrae or Libba all night, those two are more taggable than Bont.

Remove the question mark from the title of this thread!

Feels like the penny has dropped a bit where he's realising he's bigger, stronger & quicker than almost all mids

Now #1 in the coaches votes

Tom Brown reckons Salem has a groin issue & good chance to miss this week. Interesting after Goodwin confirmed he'd be back in his presser. One to watch.

I agree we lack another good ball user but Hunt's still a weapon when he plays okay - is there room for both?

Key forwards don’t have to be anything more than serviceable, needing great ones is a myth

Witho is weak as [censored] and a seagull. Not quite convinced he has any real contribution to winning.

Yeah it was a tongue in cheek comment. Just meant he has the mobility of a big bodied mid, to say we play '3 talls' probably doesn't tell the full story given his flexibility

Jacko is a midfielder first

I love you Clayton

Not surprised Melksham is back given I don't think there's really a small/mid typed forward who is knocking the door down at the moment. Might be a bit of best of a bad bunch. I'd expect Melksham will come out for Viney in a week or two anyway. Fingers crossed Bailey Laurie can play some good VFL footy in the second half of year, would play a similar role to Melksham. I would have kept Brown for a couple more weeks but understand the added mobility of Weid is enticing.

Does being played out of position contribute?

Cat's have been playing him up forward, must not trust him defensively which is interesting

Brown can do stuff all in a game yet still come away with a couple of goals, don't think Weid has that trait in him

King Bowser good to go?

River's got a pump up by Cal Twomey on AFL Exchange tonight. Shared our thoughts in that he was surprised no one was talking about him.

Seems to be the trend this year to provide an overly conservative timeline, Fristch & May other examples. All of them had pretty obscure injuries though so difficult to gauge an exact timeline I guess.

I hardly knew ya, Kade...

Probably proceed to buy a lotto ticket

Yes, we're missing out playing Jackson, Salem, Rivers in the midfield in very short bursts. I understand it's easier said than done tho as you need to temporarily restructure.
