You can get away with playing mids/flanker types for the experience without too much detriment, but I don't think you can add a second ruckman without severely impacting our gameplan. Chances are English will cop an injury or need a rest at some point and then Sweet will get his chance.

    2. Yes they do. English is averaging 89% TOG this season, almost all of that in the ruck. I assume you are proposing cutting his TOG, depriving us of one of our best and most important players over the last 3 weeks? Say he drops back to 70%, Sweet only plays 30%? It would almost be like being down a rotation. Add in 1 or 2 game ending injuries like we have had the past 2 weeks and we have a big problem with this approach.

    3. Yes he will, whilst he is playing in the ruck. You are proposing playing him in the ruck less and otherwise resting him on the bench? I don't see how this strategy will advantage us.

    4. I never mentioned the wet, but since you brought it up playing 2 ruckmen in the wet along with 2 tall forwards doesn't seem a great strategy to me.

        Absolutely wb keep em coming.
        But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

          Really don't see how his better than anyone else on our list.. I don't get it, he is by far our worst player on the entire lineup.

            I'd imagine Lewy Young agrees.

              Absolutely. Please don't misunderstand me as I am simply expressing my opinion as you have yours. Nobody is right and nobody is wrong.

              I'm just a little flabbergasted at the continual calls for Sweet to come in, especially after English's last 3 weeks. But that has been pushed primarily by other posters and this was a response to those calls in general, rather than specifically to you.

                Storms and 95% chance of 15mm expected Sunday right when we are due to play. It'll be a scrap of a game. Dare I say we'll have a few tired boys for the essendon game.

                Won't be a high scoring game which hopefully works in our favour

                  We really seem to get hot and bothered by a player for a season then completely forget they exist the next. I don't get it.

                  Lachie Young being the main example this year, maybe they'll get a resurgence like Bailey Williams has had next year?

                    Couldn't possibly play Gardner or Sweet in the conditions.

                      Porter might be worth his chance in those conditions. I'd expect Wallis and Rhylee West would play well in the wet too.

                      IIRC last time we played in a really wet game Bont was still playing dry weather football, including a one handed pick-up on the run that Dougie Hawkins would have been proud of.
                      Plus I don't recall him playing two quiet games in a row.

                        Gardner treats the footy like a bar of soap in perfect conditions, he'd need a bucket on Sunday.
                        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                          I know it's just an extended list, but how is Gardner even in the conversation?

                          In what reality is he a better option over JT or Young (KPD) or even Lach Young as an interceptor?

                              Could Richards be a surprise positional selection by returning to the back line to cover Crozier?
                              His form is solid but not great and a change in positions might be a spark for him

                                Can we name him in the team when he wasn't in the extended squad? Do we have to pretend Gardner or Sweet had to withdraw due to injury?
