    There have been many opportunities for everyone to see exactly what he is capable of. Maybe one of the games where Bruce had 5 or less disposals. Maybe one of the games where the team selected failed dismally, if that’s a reasonable description of a 7 goal loss.

    So many others can have disastrous games and remain certainties for the next week, Remember Gardner went from VFL into the main team, played poorly and was selected the next week.

    Unfortunately we are still at risk of moving backwards!

    We lost Saturday’s game because of ruck mismanagement. Pure and simple.

    And most of the people here saw it coming. Because someone Has displayed a genuine talent for it for too long.

    To dismiss that failure as another of the ‘nearly won’ results will not get us anywhere.

    We all saw the St Kilda rucks allow the receivers an easy run, so that the more talented team lost.

    We didn't lose just because of the ruck. That maybe one thing but there are also many other issues

    True, there’s about 5 , and like the others there’s no sign that it has registered correctly.

    I’m looking forward to this match up between Bruce and Lewis Young.

    Young to the forward line?

    Re: Round 1 2021 Team

    Righto.

    Backs: WILLIAMS - NAUGHTON - CROZIER
    Half Backs: JOHANNISEN - KEATH - DANIEL
    Centre: HUNTER - MACRAE - B.SMITH
    Half Forwards: RICHARDS - BRUCE - VANDERMEER
    Forwards: GUNSTON - WALLIS - SCHACHE
    Onballers: ENGLISH - BONTEMPELLI - LIBERATORE
    Interchange: DUNKLEY - DURYEA - JONG - CORDY
    Emergencies: R.SMITH - GARDNER - WOOD

    In this scenario ...

    Naughton's the most effective swingman we've had since Granty, to be deployed forward or back as the situation and Bevo's whims dictate.

    That forward line still lacks pace and ground level pressure but short of landing some 22-ready x-factor (bye Ed Richards) will hopefully be more efficient converters.

    The English experiment continues as-is because he's a year wiser and there's no chance we alter course now.

    Jamarra gets a taste but isn't to be relied upon as a permanent part of the structure for 2021.

    Lewis Young now plays for the Hawks.

    No, I’m assuming Young will be his opponent.

    Re: Round 1 2021 Team

    FWIW I understand that there is an article in the Herald Sun which says that JUH has spent a whole lot of time in the gym, and gone from 84 kg to 94 kg.

    Could be right to play Round 1.
    The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

    You are correct. I think Axe Man has posted it.

    Okay FINE.

    Half Forwards: RICHARDS - BRUCE - VANDERMEER

    Onballers: ENGLISH - BONTEMPELLI - LIBERATORE
    Interchange: DUNKLEY - DURYEA - JONG - CORDY
    Emergencies: R.SMITH - GARDNER - WOOD

    Though if Bevo gets his way ...

    Backs: WILLIAMS - NAUGHTON - CROZIER
    Half Backs: JOHANNISEN - KEATH - DANIEL
    Centre: HUNTER - MACRAE - B.SMITH
    Half Forwards: RICHARDS - BONTEMPELLI - VANDERMEER

    Onballers: ENGLISH - UGLE-HAGAN - LIBERATORE
    Interchange: DUNKLEY - DURYEA - JONG - CORDY
    Emergencies: R.SMITH - GARDNER - WOOD

    While Lewis Young remains in witness protection.
