Bell can play the role of Goldberg and polax Pendlebury every time he grabs the ball

There's merit in that....close down Pendles and Swan. They are machines. Pendles doesn't play well hurt. Gotta get that mongrel in our game.
I think Bell is the type who could execute that drill well...as long as he doesn't give away frees or get reported.
N. Buckley doesn't want to lose to MM and vice versa. This is so important to both of them. Moreso Buckley because MM has got a developing team who missed the 8 last year. Buckley got the gig witha top 4 team because he was seen as the better candidate to coach the Pies.
Bring it on.
Laidler, I believe will not disappoint if selected. If he's 3rd up in the backline then what role does Duigan play? Forward?...for a lazy 3.
I'd prefer Henderson at CHF but that leaves our key defensive posts a little short in height. Cloke is going to run them around the park and open up areas for Lynch to lead in, so there will be a need for rotations....that's why Laidler is the obvious 3rd tall...and then there's Jolly who slips up forward every now and then....Kreuzer will have to keep an eye on him.
Hampson out...I wonder if his replacement will be Warnock, because if not, it doesn't look good for Warnock that a kid (Casboult) that didn't show much last week plays fwd ahead of him. Warnock is likely to get a call up as part of MM's experimenting IMO.
