As one who has said we are not winning anything this year i still believe we should be putting as many games as possible into our kids.
If we had a fully fit list all year the priority would have been a side like this
Vlastuin - Balta - Grimes. With Gibcus injured all year have constantly said Miller should play kpd.
Brown - Gibcus - Rioli. We have had no luck with junior defenders injured but Brown is no longer injured.
Broad - Martin - Banks. Have said we should be finding ways to play kids in their right roles rolling Broad up to wing as a defensive winger allows Brown to play hb. Banks simply because he uses the ball so much better than McIntosh.
Nankervis/Soldo - Taranto - Prestia
Bolton - Lynch/Miller- Clarke
Cumberland - Riewoldt - Bauer/ Ryan Have always called for three tall fwds. Bauer is no sloth and i can see no reason why we cannot play three tall fwds in Bauer Lynch and Riewoldt when fit. With Bauer injured with Lynch then play Miller and Ryan as second ruck/fwd options.
Hopper - Baker - Sonsie - Cotchin.
With no Nankervis and Soldo light on for afl games i would have played Ryan as well despite poor form lately keeping the tall fwd stucture.
Brown sonsie clarke cumberland and Banks are all available and imo we should be finding ways to get games into them and not the other way around. where we keep finding roles so the older players dont lose their spots.
