Doesn't make much sense to me? Unless they are using him like an extra coach on the bench? Better off giving a kid 20 minutes of footy.

Thing is, as a sub you need to be able to make an impact in that short period. Drury for example hasn't yet shown the capacity to have that sort of impact in 20 mins of any of the games he's played so far.

No 7 coverage. Great !!!!

That would probably be because he is only a second year player that’s played 4 games
But it’s a good way to give him some exposure instead of leaving him out for a bloke joining our recruiting team next year

Shiels should not be getting game time even as sub
 
And dermott talking and talking and talking
I will take Dermie over her any day of the week. He at least has nice things to say about North. She does not.

It's not the worst idea at this early stage in the season if the team is going away from structures during games to have him talking to guys as they come off the ground. If Drury keeps performing well for more than one game he'll get his chance very soon.
They also may not want Ford (he's fit enough now to run out a full game) and Drury playing 20 mins vs full AFL/VFL minutes.

he can play multiple positions and has impacted at vfl level

I’d rather him as sub than shiels

We saw shiels spud it up as sub the other week

I'm not saying I like the move of having Shiels as sub either but Drury is not a sub type player. He would have zero impact in the space of 20mins. What are these multiple positions you're talking about because I haven't seen it? I've seen him play a handful of games where he has had virtually no impact.

Forward, mid and back

He’s done all at vfl level and junior level

Coming off 20 touches and 2 goals

It’s time to pump games into the kids

And at AFL level? Phillips would be a much better sub even though he played like crap last week but he's not named.

Laz would be a much better sub even.
 
James Tunstill.

Sounds like a Jamie Macmillan alias.
