Been getting midfield minutes. Let’s see if Yze can rotate the mids other than the usual suspects of TT, Prestia, Hopper.

What's the bet he doesn't.

Mrj will play small forward for green and have about 6 disposals and kick 0.1

There nothing to lose by giving him a run in the midfield . It will boost his confidence if he gets his hands on the ball, and if they give him a run with role he will learn positioning . We need a bit of speed around the packs if nothing else , nothing to lose in a development year!

That’s what I would expect unfortunately.

[Diocletian]

MRJ's on a hiding to nothing - midfield is where his future is if he has one but he's nowhere near ready for it at AFL level so it's either fail there or get played in starvation corner up forward again. Suspect he's just being used as a placeholder for Hotton.

One of Balta or Brown needs to have a go forward.

Simply cannot rely on Faull and Sims to be it for our key forward situation.

I'd put Miller on Cameron, one of our only key players with decent form of late. Blight, the other of Balta/Brown and Trainor can do the rest of the tall work down back.

Agree around Balta. I don't think we have any option.

I'll be honest I'm surprised they bought Sims back in. I would have Bauer another shot, perhaps his last shot

And clearly the forgotten man Kosi, I'd permanently that, the forgotten man

Suspect Bauer and Kosi are done, club has drawn a line through them for sure.

They want Sims back as ruck relief since Lefau went down after doing some ruck work.

Otherwise they just have to move some magnets. I'd try both Balta and Brown, but really we need Balta for some size up there.

[Tiger Khosh]

Would much rather get games into Sims then play Bauer or Kosi. Both are on course to be delisted end of year.
