    I think it would mean Campbell out.

    I have a feeling Beveridge sees it as two ruck combos. Campbell/Roughy sharing ruck duties vs Minson with Tom Boyd offering ruck relief.

      Actually I somewhat retract that after reading Bevo's comments about Will. Seems like he thinks he can pinch hit forward. Still think he is best suited to playing alongside Tom Boyd.

        He said in his presser that all (Campbell, Roughie and Will) must have the ability to play ruck/Forward except Redpath who he says is a pure forward with Boyd more a forward and pinch hitting in the ruck.

          What was said in the press conference, basically ruled out Tom Boyd for this week. Bevo saying 'we have to make sure Tom's 100% with his shoulder', and then saying Will was in the mix - I read as Boyd being no chance.

            I'm predicting...

            In- Minson, Wood, JJ
            Out- Campbell, Roberts, Dunkley

              I would've thought Camhead has some credits in the bank despite not impressing against Geelong - though it was interesting hearing Bevo put T Boyd & Minson in the same camp as Campbell & Roughy.

              If those 4 are vying for two spots every week in Bevo's mind, I'd imagine T Boyd would be first picked if fully fit*

              * I'd also guess not all would agree with me on that

                Hate questioning the chief but bringing in Minson doesn't seem like the answer. He's a ruckman that can only ruck. Doesn't mark the ball around the ground, doesn't run his opponent off his feet, isn't dangerous up forward.

                He is a position specific player and his lack of versatility is anti-Bevo.

                Not sure what sort of net gain his inclusion gives us?

                  Maybe someone else is underdone.

                      Or maybe Bevo's mention of Minsons is a combination of keeping him motivated and making Camhead look over their shoulder.

                        Big Will could ruck all game at the SCG.

                            Wood is a definite starter.

                                You mock the Wilburbeast? You have to starve him of opportunity for a bit, then unleash him and he will hulk out.

                                Oh they have this new show, Game of Thrones. It's really good and you should all definitely CHECK.... IT....OUT.
                                They have these men of mayhem, called wildlings ( freaky! )
                                There is this dude, John Snow. He's just like Bevo, well....similar.
                                And he has this big giant called Wun Wun. That's definitely Will Minson.
                                Bevo is a student of accurate history, so I am guessing he really swats up on Game of Thrones for his match day strategy. Yeah, I bet.
