Our Tactical Sub candidates for 2023

[Stevo]

Scott or Roarke have the versatility to cover a few spots.

[FrediKanoute]

Khamis, Scott and McComb are a few that stand out. Hannan fits the brief but you know Bev is going to play him in the best 22.

Sorry if he is anywhere near our best 22 this year I will throw up

[Mofra]

Hannan has the tank and aerial game to plug a hole anywhere, although based on his pre-season he might be int he 22 anyway/ Scott also heavily nominated is someone I agree with.

The dark horse is McNeill. Played inside and outside mid as a junior and at AFL level provides pressure when playing forward. Hasn't been mentioned much during pre-season but the kid should develop nicely, still a lot of scope for development too.

Is the sub a good spot for a receiver type of player who isn't big on tackling? If so, Hannan's the choice par excellence.

We have a few players that would make ideal subs but Im warming to Hannan based on your suggestion.

[Jasper]

It should be Vandermeer. He could provide that burst of running later in games.

[Mavericks]

Darcy for me. Little worried about his body standing up to the rigours of full AFL games and would to manage his game time. Think he would be a weapon coming on late with his athleticism and marking ability.

[Bullies]

I like Scott. He always does what he's told and does it pretty neatly.

Scott is our best ball user and sets us up from the wing. As a left footer on the wing he allows Williams to take the pther wing. Both excellent kicks. The forwards apparently love having Scott in the side.

If either McComb or Roarke are in our best 22 + 1 we are not as strong as we thought.

He’s our what now?

Should we wait until the season starts before we start writing players off?

From where I sit Roarke is a role player who comes in and does his job... he is a bit limited, but you know what you're going to get. McComb was underwhelming in his 1st year but is now moving into his 2nd year as a FT footballer, has had another full pre-season and should be looking to improve... let's see how he goes.

Id kind of echo this - we've almost played our best footy over the past 2 years when Roarke has been in the team

Now Im not claiming its all him, but he does play his role

McComb did a good job of finding the ball last year, and theres no reason to think he wont have improved in year 2

Spot on. We have a few players in the mix for the tactical sub role. R.Smith, Scott and McComb are just 3 of the players in the mix and they are at least versatile enough for the role. I'd add Hannan into the mix but he would most likely be best 22.

I can't see McComb as best 22, but we will see how he goes.
