I think Smithy has been in our bests for at least three weeks now. Would love to see them replace Short with him.

Not a fan of Ryan but the last two weeks he has had hauls of three and four goals.
Maybe it is again time to see if that will translate into AFL form as a key forward.
God knows every time he has played seniors he has been poor and too easily pushed around.

Last one, i know its not a popular opinion but Sam Naismith has totally dominated in the VFL. Maybe we just play him as back up ruck for Toby and see if he can at least bring ball to ground for our small fwds.
It would allow Toby to play more behind the ball and get back more to help the defenders.
Be good just to reward his good form if nothing else.
We have played Soldo and Nank together in the past and i reckon Naismith is more mobile and better in the air than Ivan.

Need Naismith in for this game to help Nank against Gawn
IMO Ryan will be easily pushed aside by May & Gawn

They put lynch in for Surgery this week.
The Sydney game was 3 yrs ago.
And Meehan still reckons 3 months away.

The way things are going, we’ll wind up paying Dow $800,000 to make up the gap in the salary cap.
Luckiest bloke at the club saved by 1 year on contract then when he should've been delisted and now he should be playing VFL on form yet he's pretty much getting gifted games cos there is no one else to play.

Will probably carry on by defaulting a trigger on an extension vi the handout games, keeping him around even longer.
