You win!

We certainly love our HBF'ers.

I think we will use Biggs to help free up players to go forward to replace Clokey. He can help out against tall, non power forwards.

To be fair it may not have been a guess. They'll need to play a variety of roles, and I suspect Murph might play forward quite a bit.

We really need a big effort from our forwards and kick well at goal as we certainly get it in there enough times.

I can live with that, Bob kicking goals in his 300th will make the joint erupt. Perhaps with 2.2 last week, Biggs stays back also freeing Suckling to play high half forward either hitting up forwards or pinging at them from the arc. At least we have a range of options.

Your mate Zaine might be the Cloke stand-in

He is a premiership winning centre half forward. That puts him in the company of Royce Hart and Darryl Baldock.

I notice Lukas Webb is first emergency again. Tough to find a spot for him, but I would love to see him get a few games in the seniors soon. Regularly picks up over 30 disposals in the vfl and at some point needs to rewarded. Will be interesting to see if he can step up to the next level and what position he would play. Thoughts?

Yep completely agree. I think we've groomed a little beauty there. Tough, well skilled, wins his own footy. He's probably competing with Jong for a place in the midfield.

Re: Match Committee - Round 5, 2017 vs Brisbane Lions

If he's getting a lot of the ball, using it well and contesting hard then we need to get him into the side as we're lacking a bit of midfield class presently.

I'd like Webb's foot skills transferred to Jong and Jong's explosiveness transferred to Webb. At the moment Webb has yet to prove he can gather enough possessions at senior level. I have Jong well ahead of him currently.

I like it that over the last 12-18 months Webb has gone from an outside player to an inside mid with a great kick while playing VFL. I look forward to seeing his selection soon into the AFL side.

It's great having a strong side and being able to have younger players really develop and learn their craft at the lower level. All the teams who have had successful eras are able to do this and suddenly a 22 year old kid pops out from nowhere and plays a strong role in the team. Hopefully we see a few of our younger players come in and cement their spots throughout the year.
