    Khamis has made it really hard to pin it down to just six plus one. All probably deserve their spot, with Williams being on thinner ice than he would like to be.

    Man I did the Sydney day trip today, up at half four and back home at quarter nine.......took me a while to register what this was about.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    I considered it very seriously.

    Where does that leave Hannan and Treloar?
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Treloar goes back to wing/HF/ mid and Hannan is fighting it out with the likes of McNeil, West, Garcia & Khamis for a spot.

    Do you see it differently?

    Khamis still lacks awareness down back for mine. That will come with experience but on Saturday Fritsch was able to play off him quite easily and Khamis lost touch a few times. Would have been a good learning experience for Buku. Hannan for mine is under rated with some of the jobs he does.

    Yeah I think Buku can bring something on our counter attack and actually takes intercept marks but in 3 games as a defender he’s been torched twice. I’d persist with him but his defending needs to improve.

    I like the balance right now. We’ll definitely find a spot for Treloar but I don’t want him in the forward half, I much prefer terrier types like West, Garcia and McNeil getting those roles. Wing/mid is obvious but we also have Scott to slot back in who has been valuable there too. Log jam.

    Hannan is back of the queue, imo. No real spot for him forward if we play Marra, Naughton & Bruce. I prefer Khamis’ skill set in defence and with Duryea and Daniel returning, he’s lost his spot. That said, I think he must do lots of team first things that are hard to notice on TV and is the type Bevo wants to go to battle with so I expect we’ll find a spot for him.
