Neither Acres or O'Keefe played VFL so likely they were being kept fresh considering it's a Thursday game. Also Lemmy apparently didn't play the whole game.
That’s interesting, but Acres was crap last week, and prior to that, same in the AFL. No point playing him if his shoulder and back aren’t right. I’d rather a fully fit player than a half fit Acres at 29yo.
O’Keefes absence was a big surprise. Must be managing his Hammy. Last week played 60%, this week rested.
Somehow I don’t think these 2 will push for a spot.
Harry SOS will be ready to be considered. Pies want to have a good look at SOS
I think HOF is still too young to dominate, in AFL, but he’s a tall kid and has a competitive spirit that could do with. Few more games in the AFL.
If SOS comes in, HOF is out, no doubt.
With Harry in, it implies Lemmey is on hold.
Who goes out for Harry and SOS, other than Evans with concussion? I think it will be HOF.
Unless the List Mgr has already decided not to extend Lemmey contract, he should play in 2-3 games. A good game for him would be the last round v Effendopes. If so will be interesting where TDK plays. Surely we will know officially if TDK is playing at the Saints next year. That would be good time to drop him and play Lemmey at FF. He needs another couple huge preseasons imo. Ditto OKeefe to build strength and stamina.
Wilson is another I feel is growing in confidence in the VFL. He’s a keeper imo, and with his contract under review he should get some time in AFL imo.
Lucas seems ro have run out of puff.
