Also to be fair doesn't really have a match up presumably Jones will play on Roughy

To be fair Rowe should never have been rushed back into the seniors after his injuries. He still hasn’t regained the full mobility he had last year, and it wasn’t that outstanding to begin with.

I’m happy for him to play in next year, hopefully as VFL depth if we aren’t cursed by the same amount of injuries as this year.

Not one of his biggest fans but certainly is a good club man and is best when he plays within his limitations
Would not mind him getting a one year contract next year but hoping that he doesn't get many senior games as this will be an indication that most of the absent guys who are injured are back playing and are stepping up

Just asking but what is young Polson good at? There must be something(s) based on his getting a regular game?

Polson is good at a lot of things, he is just a second off it being brilliant.

He is our best natural crumber/forward pressure player prospect.

Hopefully another preseason or two he picks up that second.

I’m a big fan.

Fisher.

Doesn’t deserve a game right now. Round 23.

Agree on the clubman front. I don’t think he should get a new contract thought. Recruit a VFL/SANFl/WAFL player as backup.

Unless Charlie is playing midfield what the @#$%&! is Levi in the team for ??

To make sure Charlie doesn't have to do everything alone and get double and triple teamed by a high quality defensive six again.

And relief ruck. Considering many on here unfairly wanted to hang Bolts from the nearest tree when he put Harry and Charlie into the ruck last week.

I made the same response moments ago to Carlton and Hawks supporters

IF we can run that ball in quick from the midfield we have good options to mark.

If Charlie runs amok further upfield, Casboult and McKay can clunk them closer to goal,,,where Levi has a chance.

Lobbe to rotate with Casboult.

Good move

You can play anyone as second ruck FFS !

Fisher would be my choice for second ruck.

Polson

Worked out great. As poor as he's been at times, imagain how much worse it would have been if we didn't have him as backup and had to play even poorer VFL players to cover all the injuries we could never have predicted?

Why is Wright playing ? Done best part of zip for a month and more. Would've liked LeBois to get a taste.

LeBois needs to earn it. Hasn’t been anywhere near doing that, so the coaches have just made a small statement to him........earn it and you get a chance!

Well yeah, bears have smashed them twice so they're susceptible to allegedly talented young sides with objectively awful records.
