You're a brave man wandering around looking like a Hawks supporter KPR.
The sub is here to stay and clubs will adapt.
I am advocating a group of ten players for the sub role. That would overcome the problem you have highlighted above.
Fremantle certainly have many players who would be ideal including all the new draftees we have picked up in the last two years.
Can you imagine what it would be like to see Josh Simpson come onto the ground fresh in the third quarter ?
Damn straight. The sub should be an attacking, x factor goal scoring type who might not normally play because they go missing overbthe journey or just don't get involved enough. Bring them on with 20 mins left against a tiring opposition.
Croz, Simpson fit the bill. Not Ibbo, Duff Roberton. I think Geelong used Christenson well as a sub.
Hot diggity I'd love to see Simpson play as a sub sometime next season. I'd love to see him burn off a few defenders, skip around another and kick a goal.
I hope that Simpson doesn't get a game next year, pretty clearly far far too small to be playing seniors. Let him run around a hff in the ressies and spend a year in the gym..
Maybe not. What about when we play GWS, Melbourne, Port etc. at home? Ross may decide to rest some of the older blokes. I can definitely see him coming on as the sub in those types of games.
Do we think Menegola will get game time in 2013? Looks a solid unit!
Where does he play? Or where can he play?
Weaknesses and strengths?
High half forward/half forward is where I have seen him play. Good size as you mentioned and can run all day but seems to go missing for large parts of the match and from week to week. Kicking is not always great. Played a very good preliminary final which may show he is getting his game together. Can't see why he couldn't play further up the ground if needed.Do we think Menegola will get game time in 2013? Looks a solid unit!

Attacks the footy hard from what I have seen of him. Possibly could play Mcphee role. More of a natural forward though. The knock on him last year was that he could get pushed off the footy and ran to the wrong spots. He looks a heap stronger this year already and I have massive hopes that he will be the biggest surprise packet on the list. There is some talk that we may only use one of preseason draft picks, and instead have five rookies (Moller is also a rookie but is outside the list because he was a NSW Scholarship player). If that is the case it will be because the coaching staff wants the option of playing Menegola from round 1.Does Menegola attack the footy hard?
Can he play a McPhee role?
I have seen him a bit on the ABC sat games. He knows how to find the ball and can take take a contested mark. He was BOG in a couple of games for EF. Not bad for a 19/20 yo. He also was among EF's best in the GF. I think we got a steal here. I know a hawthorn tragic who is a work colleague and he was pissed that Sam left after only one year.from what I can gather and have seen of him at training, he seems to be a high half forward with the capacity to run as a tall midfielder, so he has a bit of competition to break into the team.
his strength is clearly his ability to run and run all day. I have never seen him actually play a game live, so I am not qualified to comment on his weaknesses

I think if simpson plays next year, even as a sub, it is reasonable to suggest that we have been hit with injuries.
It's good for the player, but not necessarily good for the teams chances of winning that particular game.
I reckon the perfect sub has pace and a bit of x-factor and is possibly a young fella who might not have the tank to have an impact for the whole game. I'm thinking Crozier, Simpson, Mellington, Duffy even Chryttin.
KPR, we should be able to gauge his chances of a debut this year during the NAB series.
Personally I'd love to see him get 2 or 3 games this year , most likely against the new clubs who have a lot of young kids also.
