O’Donnell has been playing forward I think. Although I didn’t see any of last nights game.

Imagine we win with Richmond to follow

Yeah nah

I’m not sure Tsatas should or will come back in.
There is something there that we don’t seem privy to, and my guess is the kid is lacking confidence in his kicking. Looking at the stats in yesterdays’ game, 55% of our team disposals were kicks, and without knowing for sure, I would guess that’s around the average in the VFL.
However, Tsatas went at 34% kicking. His kicking was also raised again in the commentary. Is this now a big issue in the young man’s head?
A good case for Vigo is he, at least, broke square with Ladhams, this will give him confidence to take on lesser ruckman within the AFL.
As for Lav, even though you know he will always give 100%, he is a slow ball mover with unreliable disposal.
The difference in our first and second halves yesterday, was fast ball movement compared to slower in the second.
Cox & Guelfi are not even close to AFL fit.
In: Johnson, Vigo, Davey
Out: Hayes (Inj), Goldy (rested) & Shiel
Sub: Davey (simply because the cupboard is bare)

Watched Tsatas very closely in twos at WH. All class accumulator. In Laverde and Elijah. Out Hayes and Shiel.

Sanity - good news :+1:

Something tells me Scott loves Hobbs. He’s not getting dropped anytime soon.

He seems to have been more versatile than previous years. Flexible coming off the bench, midfield rotation, bit of half forward, defensive job, doing it all pretty well.

scott mentioned hobbs doing good job in presser.
he’s not getting dropped. he’s also contributing up forward.
english would kill vigo. goldy will be fine.
hopefully vigo gets 2 games before season end - there’s a long way to go.
it’ll be lav in and hayes out
scott’s not messing with a winning team.

Goldy has been a freaking warrior but he surely can not or will not play every game.

So we either go with 2.03 as first ruck or find a game with a “weaker” ruck to rest Goldy and debut Vigo.

Obviously should not be on the selection radar but here we are.

Fair chance we will be drafting a ready made ruck in mid season draft soon enough
