Herr_Tiger said:Can't see Batchelor or especially Morris being omitted, tho would like McDonough to replace Steve
Edwards to return for Menadue; don't stress it, Connor, your time will come
I'll assume Lids will be fit enough to be risked interstate; McDonough if not / 1st emergency
Grif in for Elton, give McBean a 2nd week
Run your proverbials off, Tiges, take the game on!

A couple of other options too unfortunately. Knights and Petterd both could, and I think I read last week that Drummond already has been.mrposhman said:They could promote him if they move Butler to the LTI list.
Could probably shift Lambert on or Axle as well. Lots of room to kick out experienced players n push up rookies, might not have enough rookies to fill all the holes.Rancey18 said:A couple of other options too unfortunately.

In: Griff, Edwards, Madonna (squeeze him in somewhere.)

French Tiger said:So you would prefer him in the team to Griffiths ? Plenty of time for Liam to force his way back in
So after finally getting another game and doing okay at it, you want Elton to be demoted again? Who covers his role in defence? Do we try Griffiths as a defender again? I was pleased to see Liam play, and I think he showed potential, but I didn't see anything that suggested he was ready to explode. He had 3 quarters, took 2 marks, missed a shot on goal, although he was part of the combination with Corey Ellis that gave a goal to Maric. It's promising, but not enough to keep a more experienced player like Griffiths out. Griff can also play in the ruck, something that McBean cannot do at AFL level. I think McBean will be a good addition to our forward line and should get more senior opportunities throughout the season, but I'd also like to see him add some muscle to his frame which will enable him to compete better with the bigger bodies he'll encounter at senior level.tigersnake said:In for Elton or a mid size player like Batch. Dropping McBean when he looks set to explode and played in, and possibly caused, a functioning forward line for the first time in the season is insanity IMO.

tigersnake said:On Beanie, watch the replay, key involvements the whole first half. More than just 1 goal. Tough, instinctive key involvements, fast hands, some against 2 or 3 opponents, good ball use under pressure. Great stuff. (Lamb detailed his involvements in another thread)

Baloo said:yep, despite not scoring a goal and turning powerade into Penfolds Grange, Beanie looked like he belonged out there which is pretty good for a 1st gamer.
