Melbourne need to be taken very seriously and are in our slipstream, in that our strengths and style are also theirs. Their forward line has real potency with Hogan, Watts and Garlett. The Glove on Garlett, Cordy in to cover Watts whose strength is his mobility and smarts and I suspect Adcock will stay in. Collins to debut against Hogan, they must have crossed paths already and Collins would've mentally prepared for him.

I thought his AFL appearance earlier this year was ok but he has stunk it up at VFL ever since.

That may be the case, but it's hard to imagine either the senior team or Hamling himself is particularly well served by playing him at full forward at the lower level.

That said, I've caught none of our VFL games this year so perhaps he's been named there on paper only.

Correct he's played back.

Hogan (21) is a full 3 years older than Collins (18) so doubt they have crossed paths.

Collins didn't play on Sunday someone on bookface said he was being rested. Mysterious

I'd give Bailey Williams a chance. Let him inject some pace onto the G

He can pick up Petracca.

Imagine there's a fair weight difference between the two.

Same height, but yes about 10kg difference

Is he quick? Haven't noticed it in what I've seen of him so far.

Not really, similar to Webb and Wallis really. Not blessed with pace.

I don't think he's anywhere near ready yet. The Roosters game was probably his best statistically along with Lynch and it was against a very weak side in a 100 point thrashing. Let's see how they go against Port Melbourne this weekend at a small ground and likely boggy Nth Port oval, I bet they struggle.

Good selections. I would have been tempted by Hamling or Cordy but it's exciting to have Williams named in the squad.

No Koby Stevens though

I wonder if Roughie will drop back there to help out?
