    I agree on Sweet.

    Went to the VFL last week where Sweet had about his best game and he is miles off being AFL ready.

    He is averaging about 5 disposals per game. He is way off getting a game.

    He will probably get his shot before the end of the season because we some how find a way to do that but I think he is still a mile off. I agree we need to be taking the longer term view with him.

    Same here all three had big VFL games.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Sensible changes, so perhaps don't hold your breath.

    Cue Hayes, Gowers and Roarke Smith.

    Re: Always Right Match Committee Thread Round 14, Vs Collingwood

    Press Conference today



    LB: We were a little bit unstable after we lost Libba, but we were rapt with the boys being able to get it right & a couple of lads needed to shift roles & responsibilities. It was probably fortunate we got out to that margin, it was just the buffer we needed.


    LB: The boys went away (on their four day break) with a little bit of a program just to make sure that they kept their eye on the ball & it was really pleasing for us to come out so emphatically in the first quarter.


    LB: Rhylee will be in the 26 that are selected & we'd love to give him an opportunity, but what we don't want to do with our brand new players is throw them to the wolves & put them out there until they are totally ready - we want it to be a good experience for them.


    LB: Dale (Morris) will play for Footscray when he comes back, but it will be another week.


    LB: Doc definitely wIll be in that 26, he came back & played outstandingly well. He prepared himself well with Nick Stone & our return to play guys, so he'll definitely come into the mix.


    LB: In the scheme of things, they're all important but the further & further behind you start to drop, the less chance you are of being there at the end of the year. We'll go hard this week & hopefully be 6 & 7 at the end fo round 14.


    LB: Easton is quite rounded, a great role model on a lot of fronts, he's a professional & he's such a stand up figure in our game. It's a great milestone for him to chalk up the 150

    Who is Doc? Are we finally going to give Jake Landsberger a game?

    Yep. He’s not ready for AFL. There’s something to work with long term but he’d get destroyed against the Pies (and before someone says it, yeah I know English did last time too, but English is a miles ahead tools wise)

    Roarke would not be undeserved.
    He was very good in the VFL last week.

    Agreed, we probably need to give him and the likes of Lynch and Porter a chance to see if they should be on the list going forward

    I still think Smith is more of a defender and we are stacked for the HBF types

    Hasn't played much HBF from what I've seen at VFL level. Played as a defensive forward (is Crisp that dangerous? He's consistent but I'd be shutting down Sidebottom) and on the wing. I think there's a bit to work with, maybe he does become a tagger after all.
