Looks like Redman might be a starter in the next VFL practice match this Saturday at Craigieburn

Do we think that Redman, Ridley and Gleeson are all vying for the one spot?
Obviously 2 are unavailable for round 1 so Ridley would get the nod but I would have those 2 ahead of Gleeson if this was the case. I donāt think Gleeson can defend too well himself which becomes more important with the 6-6-6. He can intercept well as a loose man or sit off his opponent but Francis can play this role far more effectively.
Redman looks like he can defend and rebound, same with Ridley

It may be a case of ālast seen, best rememberedā.

I think there is two defensive positions for the types of players they are and play 7 defenders. If by chance midfield gets thin I can see all 3 playing with one on the wing. Can also see a glimmer that all 3 can play in defence and McKenna moving to the middle.
Gleeson certainly can intercept and rebound but has tended to overestimate his own ability to break tackles and take on opponents. But that was Gleeson 2017. I am betting he is now a lot stronger in the upper body. Neither Redman nor Marty are ready yet so its academic. With Dea out, our medium defender depth is suboptimal.

He looked really good yesterday.
Misplaced a couple of kicks but thats going to happen when you havenāt played for a while.
Plays like he cares so hopefully comes back in over the next few weeks.

Comes in for Guelfi, better defender, better rebounder.

How many games has he played in 3 years?
Heās been injured a lot mate.
Had to get any consistency when you canāt get any continuity.
Doesnāt help that we have a coach that thinks young players need to play VFL for their first 5 years on the list.
He has plenty of talent.

Ridley (a half back) to replace Bags (a forward pocket)?
