Yeah, great time to play the poor bugger, against the absolute best in the comp who are playing the best football we have seen in many seasons.

Then when he fails everyone can ridicule him.....yep great idea.

Well when I spoke with him earlier this year at the Cocktail Party he was absolutely loving the opportunity of senior time. He's gone back to the 2's done time in the ruck and kicked plenty of goals. He's ready, young players that back themselves were one of the reasons we started winning earlier this year.
With Tyrone back and Jack as the focus, he could play a nice cameo under the radar. At least he can kick straight :thumbsup

Yes agree but we could also see Astbury back in with Vickery too.

So don't reward Bean's good form, but continue to play out of form / out of confidence / sore Griffiths?

Is that what I said, go read my post again FFS!!!!

What were you trying to say then?

Humor me

Ok, here we go.....yes I agree McBean deserves a game, he actually should have come in against the Saints for mine. I just feel that bringing him in now against the Hawks in this sort of form could bring the wrath of the supporters on him should he not perform and that would not be his fault.

I would rather see Vickery and Astbury/Dea come in as they are bigger bodied and they have had more exposure at this level and at this intensity that that Hawks will bring.

I just don't want to see McBean hung out to dry and used as a scape goat.

Hows that???

yep probably a good opportunity for him to get in a decent block of games now that Griff is out. Bring him in and give him the chance to cement his spot. His chance has arrived - well deserved

I started to re-watch the Collingwood game the other night and I really noticed McBean doing some nice things. He only had a handful of kicks but he ran to the right spots IMO. He took a really nice mark on a strong lead but it just happen to be touched off the guys boot, and was called play on.
He didn't by any means star in any of his games earlier this season but IMO showed he isn't far away. An early mark or a goal would really do his confidence the world of good. I hope he gets another opportunity soon.

Learn against the best. After this week (if he were to play) every week after will feel easy for him.

Darcy Moore debuted against Hawthorn 3 weeks ago and booted 5 goals in his 3rd game :shh
