    Going to be a tall forward line with Bruce, Naughton & JUH to slot in as well.

    Well maybe he needs to play in the backline?

    In any case it will be awhile before he becomes best 22, and by then Bruce will be in his 30s

    I still think he will play rucktime.

    At that height he's going to play some ruck.

    He and English swapping forward would be pretty formidable.

    We do need defenders though.

    Get as many athletic skilled tall guys into the side as possible and then figure out the rest later. Being able to dominate in the air between the arcs is as valuable as anything in the AFL today and apart from English and Naughton we suck real bad at it.

    Realisyically Darcy will take 3-4 years to ind his feet. Bu that time Bruce is done. Darcy could even spend his first couple of years down back to adjust to the level theoretically.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    Thanks BAD. Doesn't sound like he's developed enough to be a one on one player. Hope he can get a bit of it on the outside and perhaps use his intercepting ability as a 3rd up in aerial contests.

    Re: Always Right Match Committee Round Nine v Collingwood at Marvel

    Saw something come through on Twitter this morning that indicated Sweet would play tomorrow night, as Martin has some knee issues that have flared up.
    Have not seen this on any other platform so not sure if it's true or not.

    Good opportunity for Sweet if he does get a game. Up against a second string ruckman in Darcy Cameron a less daunting assignment than Grundy. Cameron a little in the English mould in that he doesn't get big hitout numbers but gets involved around the ground (16 and 21 possessions the past 2 weeks as number 1 ruck).

    Sweet should be able to get his fair share of hitouts but needs to get involved in general play and also limit Cameron's influence.
