Too soon?

If not a late inclusion, gets to continue working on his skill deficiencies under Cara this week.
Not quite in the core group of midfielders yet but Scott would have clearly articulated that heā€™s an integral part of the list.

VFL is at 2:35, ill be ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  if Lij gets held over

Me too

Im barely his biggest fan and think he has a bit to work on, but i reckon weā€™ve missed a opportunity with not giving him till the bye with parish out. Heā€™s the most like for like player imo, and him playing more clearance stuff works to his strengths, especially his handballing

Spot on. I donā€™t understand the development approach for him.

Yep. Better Hobbs out and give Tsatas a bit of a run

His continual omissions is disappointing.

His kicking is more disappointing.

Let him work on it in the 2ā€™s.

can we PYU in the mid season draft?

Think there has been a very clear progression plan from the club this year with the younger players which I am really happy with.

They have the starting mids then rate Caldwell just behind, then Hobbs just behind Calders and Tsatas next.
Caldwell will likely take Parishā€™s midfield time and Hobbs will move into Calders role.

I like how we are doing this.
Tsatas will likely become too good to refuse a spot in the next year or two, as I think his ceiling is probably higher than Caldwells and Hobbs.

I was in the opposite pocket straight down that kick - it was going in but to be fair he couldnā€™t have been sure or that another north defender couldnā€™t have touched it on the way through.

You can try but itā€™s gonna take more than an ewok. Maybe bring a few wookies along.

I donā€™t mind that he got dropped. His disposal needs a lot of work. If heā€™s going through a change of technique, do it in the twos. The pressure on him would be amplified big time if he starts kicking helicopters in the seniors

And we all know a 2km time trial during preseason is a much better indicator of a playerā€™s running capacity in games than the playerā€™s actual running capacity in games.
