We're playing GWS, so we might give VB a go at sub, or maybe another more senior player, just to give them a rest. He only missed one week, so hopefully his fitness is fine, maybe 30-40% chance of being sub
Thanks for that DTB. Was chasing an answer to that very question on the DT board.
Yeah, have to take a punt because I am trading out Vlastuin. Too much thinking on a saturday haha
If he's healthy he should play every week, and in theory this is the last week he should miss through injury, but there is every chance they will want him to play a game in the SANFL next week. He should come straight back into the team after that though
He didn't really play a full-on tagging role in previous games, but he certainly tried to run around with a couple of quality midfielders, restricting Griffin in his game against WB and getting absolutely shredded by Juddy vs Carlton. Last couple of weeks he's moved forward, beginning with the Hawthorn game. He managed to keep Birchall pretty quiet, while kicking a couple of goals. GWS don't really have any players who need a tag, so he just sort of ran around the field. He's unlikely to come near his score against most opposition, though he could average 70-ish if he keeps up his form. Given the sheer number of midfielders we have in our squad, it wouldn't surprise me if he played most of the game as a forward, and he is named in the forward pocket. Maybe a defensive forward role on one of the rebounding defenders.
He will play and most likely avoid the vest given his performance last week.
