We won't play him for the sake of it and Dimma has did this in our side in past with players needs to perform.
That’s an option I’d forgotten about , we ll see I suppose however 2 rucks is important in particular with oppo that have qty rucks
Especially when at times they had Jack, Lynch at times taking the ruck.
Stupidity & risky !
I wouldn't be moving Balta as we will face some big forwards like Dixon and Hawkins in the finals and even though our system of defence means Balta may not have a lot of direct one on one contests we don't want to risk a lighter framed backman like Astbury who can be ragdolled by the big boys.
Astbury is an option up forward and for forward line ruck work too.
remember he has kicked goals up forward.
we just don't need him to go '' down the line Dave ' if he's a forward
Your talking about Dave years ago is super reliable now as a key back.Dave stays we're he is takes the monster forwards his a traditional backman and Balta the Rance type takes the next one frees up Grimes to play on medium or smalls and even intercept.That's a solid 3 there.
Spot on. Imagine Dixon having Astbury, Balta and Grimes to contend with? What other tall is kicking any goals for them? Marshall? Georgiades? Westhoff??? Please.
It also allows Balta to push up the ground like Rance used to and just chop off every attack up on the wings.

Yep the Mab's leap is amazing, not sure why he doesn't do it all the time at AFL level a lot of time Mab's seems to stay down or side steps opposition ruckmen.
So if it was a 10 v 10 again? pretty open forward line for Mab's to lead into one would think, still if it gives him confidence can't hurt.
My bad! Peter Burge said it was an 18 v 18 scrimmage game so you can add a bit more weight to Mab's performance.
Nah, he played 3-4 servicable role games, a couple of absolute rippers and 2 ordinary.
Looking at the video, very low pressure game. But Chol seemed to have better timing when leaping for the ball.
Umpiring looked to be ok too

Im surprised Grigg didn't bend us over
