All stats we have been smashed in, and the VFL side got reamed too.

Debut coming soon me thinks.

Be a disgrace if its not this week him and RC-D.

Rcd has been good in his nine games and game time in those areas as well.

Tyler Sonsie is close to senior selection after a 34-disposal, seven tackle performance in the VFL loss.

“He looks like an AFL player to us," said Hardwick.

"He's got to work on his fitness and get that part of the equation up to speed, but he's done a power of work over the course of the time he's been with us.

“I can see him playing for us in the not-too-distant future, whether that’s this week we’re not too sure, but he’s certainly put his hand up.”

Sonsie has to be fit to play before we run him out in the seniors. No rush the debut will come in the near future and he will play more seniors than seconds from then on.

Sonsie replaces Cotchin when he’s ready to retire.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Agree but we are all wanting him to get games.

Gracie, looking at this weeks team there really isn’t a spot for him.

Is this kid not fit?

Going off his numbers it's hard to believe he's not, tho of course AFL us a higher level.

If you are rewarding good form then he should be in the mix if we play some kids.

Dimma said in his presser yesterday that his fitness wasn't quite ready for AFL ... something about interupted pre-season

Who is fit? About 3 blokes based on our efforts this season.

One or two more games and then bring the boy in

Well you'd hope Prestia is 100% this week then.

Graham clearly wasn't R1. Grimes too given that he missed R2 due to the thumb issue he had in the pre-season. Dusty probably wasn't in the right head space either.

If he plays and ends up gassed half way through the 3rd I actually don't mind but if his game time is managed and he rests forward (good goal kicker I believe) I reckon he'd be OK.

Dimma: "Here's your jumper."

Sonsie: "Bulls***!"

 :laugh:

A week late but hopefully a sign Dimma has finally moved past the likes of Aarts and Castagna.
