Are we likely to get any players back for this game? You’d think Mannagh, Stanley and Duncan are in contention for the afl game. Likely to be a very vfl listed heavy team.

Wiltshire, that’s about it

Does Herbert have potential to be drafted - us or other teams? Consistently in best players, pace from backline, good by foot and only 22 (I think). Is he a back pocket?

Humphries ended that possibility

Sounds like a ripper bloke. Shame he is just short of the level.

The riches of local footy can be alluring for senior VFL players, but Capiron will have to be dragged out of Kardinia Park kicking and screaming.

“When I first came here I fell in love with the place and I thought this is a place where I can really see myself evolving into someone that I’m proud of, because that hasn’t always been the case,” Capiron said.

“So I think they’re going to have to kick me out of this joint because I still feel that way at the moment, so I don’t want to give that up.

“I’m still evolving, I am not a finished product.”

I think it is just rust then a general fitness issue, in a week he ran out an extra quarter.

Ever starting jogging again after a long break, the first run is hell, then you make extremely quick progress before you hit another wall.

 

[cats_09]

What about Mannagh as sub if there's questions over his fitness and running out 4 quarters

They would probably rather him find match fitness in a full game in the 2's

 

[goyoucatters]

I think that could work. I also think it could work to tell him to go out and make a difference in the first three quarters and then pull him off for the last.

So I think acting as sub or being replaced by the sub both seem pretty appealing options for how we use him while he's getting his overall fitness back up to speed.

Vfl team will be pretty depleted with all the injuries. Will get Wiltshire back but not much else.

Annand in is interesting unless one of our talls is making way. Maybe Stanley won't suit up?

I can see Stanley sitting it out to be the carry over for Neale

Plays OK fresh? Take him out and you have him for the Thurs night v the Crows if required. Is Annand a draft threat? Have not seen enough of him.

 

[AnUltimateRessie]

or Pike is spending more time in the ruck instead of forward (where he has been woeful so far)

 

[Phipppppa]

Hoping to see some more out of Pike and Polkinghorne.

We know stevens, Wiltshire and now Retschko are talents. Need to see a bit more from the two P’s

probably need Stanley to have a week off to properly see what Pike can do. Polkinghorne is a gun as per praccy matches but needs to rise this week.

 

[BennyGan]

Anyone know when Jack Martin will play VFL? Has there been a timeline given for him?

 

[Turbocat]

I think he is more a ruck than forward ..especially these days when players have to be so dynamic. Id be happy to hardly see Pike this year…or every second game and for him to focus on off field stuff. Get himself in the best AFL nick. The issue is guys like Conway who should be playing struggle to get and stay on the ground. Hope to see more Edwards this year.
