So this week, we'll have five guys 21 or under playing (JVR, McVee, Howes, Windsor, Tholstrup). Six if one of Woewodin/Laurie is named/sub. Even better is that they're either quality, or show a lot of promise (Bowey is also a walk-up start when fit).
Good signs IMO, we're playing the kids and still performing at a high level. Only wish we'd done it sooner, but our list is in much better shape than teams like Collingwood at present.

Go Koltyn!
I love how Goody is finally trusting some kids and getting games into them while we still have some top end talent and winning games. Not sure what the lad has done to deserve a debut as what I've seen has been pretty ordinary so far, but hey, it adds excitement to the year and our kids have mostly stepped up when thrown in so far. Good luck young lad! I'll be there to see the first of hopefully many to come!

Good luck to the kid but we've had great talent emerge in recent times with Bowey, Rivers, McVee, Windsor, Roo, Howes and Woey.

I reckon he's coming in with Kozzy out because he can play that impact forward role. Probably tell him his one job on Thursday is to apply as much pressure as possible.

Yeah I think this is it. His disposal numbers won't be a concern, it'll all be about the pressure acts and tackle numbers.
I appreciate you omitting Laurie from that list. I feel seen.

Get the impression he'll be absolutely frothing so hope he can get a big holding the ball
Holding the ball on Zorko in front of goal and i swear I'll jump the fence and shake the kids hand.

I didn’t watch much of the round 1 game against Box Hill but I did watch round 2 against Footscray.
Tholstrup played as a mid the entire game from what I could tell. Clean hands, decent pace, and he also hit some targets with flat kicks. Some errors too of course.
Stats from the two VFL games averaging 21 disposals and 6.5 tackles. Pretty decent numbers for a first year player.
He won’t be playing as a mid tonight. As other posters have pointed out he will probably be there as a forward for tackle pressure and hopefully create or kick a goal or two.

Not sure if he is Patrick Mahomes or Kenny 'mother ****ing' Powers
A sudden trip from Esperance to Melbourne in 36 hours is not easy feat.

Any chance he gets any mid time at all? And is it a case of back to the 2s when Pickett returns?

Unlikely and who knows mate if he's 45 and kicks 6 probably not gonna drop him are we

Likely to relegate Petracca to the bench.
I doubt he cracks midfield time, maybe a couple of centre bounces if the game is over in the last. Then back to the VFL for development.
Eight hour car trip to Perth!!
Yeah but if he can't handball on his left hand he'll be dropped even if he kicks 6
