Sorry Elijah you weren’t good enough to play this week, we are so good at clearances you’ve got no chance, plus you haven’t learnt how to kick the ball backwards and sideways yet, another 10 weeks of training should do it, then you can be indoctrinated into Synergisation.

Bit disappointing he'll be a sub, hopefully he can be elevated to the main 22 next week.
At least Simmo no longer claiming he can't run out a game.

Well he kinda did say that. But said if we have an early injury he's confident Hewett will be okay. What's the alternative? "Look, we're ****ed if we lose a man early, Hewett will blow up and I can see us getting run over the top of"

Bout time. Pissed if he’s the sub. Give this kid a full game asap.

They’ve confirmed he’s going to be the sub

It actually makes sense

He showed against Port he can have an instant impact and given he hasn’t quite built the tank for a full game coming on as a sub is a good compromise
 
His playing style appears to be similar to a De Grey/Petracca type. I reckon like them he'll be called a forward for his first few years.

I actually don't mind that. We've bemoaned the club's tendency to 'forward flank' our midfielders but that's sort of been because those midfielders have been West, O'Neill, Ainsworth etc who aren't actually natural forwards with actual goalsense in the slightest.

Been ages since we've had a genuine mid/fwd who'd be dangerous as both. We've had a few fwd/mids (Rioli, LeCras a bit) - very small distinction but I like the flexibility it brings our side. Lets him get games and experience at AFL level before he's big, fit and hardened enough to hammer out entire games in the guts.
 
Things you love to see



Unless your name is Dark Sharks and you’re convinced this phone call is staged

My intel suggests mum already knew 10 minutes before that call :p

In all seriousness, the media department has stepped it up a notch this year. That said, it has been a pretty low bar for some time.
 
On the beers early mate?
