Robbie On Skates

Given a reasonable run with injury there is a chance that we challenge for top 4. We will need a lot of luck. We have an improving Oliver, Salem and Petracca, an underdone Lever and McVee that can also improve, and Casey's last 2 weeks has seen some names emerge that will put pressure on players. We have Gawn and Pickett firing on all cylinders and some scope for players to continue building form and tweaks to a system that we are continuing to grow into. Nothing would surprise me.

I hope we stick with AJ. He does a couple of important things: Solid ruck relief and puts a lot of pressure around the ground. Competes up forward and is effective stopping the ball from getting the ball out. Keep putting games into him. He has played a few games of footy and has done more than most young talls do at the same stage.
