    Agree, this next block of 4 is huge for his career with us.

      I think he and Weightman are doing that and maybe he’s a point of difference to McNeil and Cody given his height and ability to pressure in the air.
      He crashed a couple of packs last week at pace which I was impressed with. He is fringe though that’s for sure.

      I’ll be watching him closely without the ball this week at the game.

        Happy for Young but he needs a block of 4-5 games, not 2.

        Hannan very fortunate, he's struggling to have an impact in a side that's pumping the ball inside 50. I would have preferred Marra, but failing that, Wallis or even McNeil.

          Hannan is in the side for his pressure acts both with tackling and in the air. I thought he did a good job of that last week. He throws himself into the contest. Granted, it's a low bar to measure on but if that's his role, he's doing it well. McNeil doesn't have the aerial presence and Marra could barely sprint to the centre of the ground. Mitch is biding his time for sure though. As soon as Marra breaks a game open at VFL level I'd say he'd replace him straight away.

                I thought he was great v Brisbane and ok the following week. Why he was dropped was a mystery

                  Got nothing to base this on and I didn’t watch the GC game back in detail but I suspect he was a bit out of sync with his positioning. Whether the vfl was the place for him to fix it or not is another question.

                    He wasn't bad in that match though. Didn't have a real match up all game and the Suns hardly crossed the centre in the first half. He seems to be marked very hard i.e great game nothing game out.

                    If Mitch Hannan was Lewis Young Bevo would have burnt his house down by now.

                    This will be my last I want Hannan dropped metaphor.
                    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                      Glad Young is in. Let’s hope he plays well and gets some continuity as a result. He may just be the final piece to help us win a flag this year if Gardner is unable to get back.

                        We need to bring Young in for a couple of weeks at least and show him some faith. Games invested now should help us later in the season.
                        He can play a couple of positions and given his mobility he should be able to match-up on some of the more mid sized opponents.

                          Glad to see Young finally back. He offers way more than Gardner anyway. Can play back, fwd and ruck. Hopefully Bevo and the MC give him a chance this time.
                          I will never see #16 the same!!

                            Two different players Young and Gardner. Gardner can actually defend and do a job. Might not get a lot of possessions but neither does his opponent most of the time. Has great closing speed and defends well which is the reason they rush him in. Great opportunity for Young but just worry if he can play on the big 3 forwards against Geelong, Brisbane and West Coast etc.

                                I’m expecting one.
