Myself, I'd be shocked if that happened.

Hopefully someone got it. And the SANFL judiciary takes a stand. Worth at least 6 weeks I reckon. Maybe 8.
Not really sure. Thought he was good today but it's not obvious what he would excel at aside from mid, where he's competing with Schoenberg, Berry etc. You'd hope the club had an idea. Has kicked a few goals at SANFL level before so maybe he'd be good as a Murphy/McHenry replacement, though I doubt he has their tank.

Why didn't Murray play?
Are we hiding him for the MSD?

I think COVID or something.

Wasn't he missing the Norwood game with illness too? Must be a doozy of a flu.

To be fair, the flu can knock you flat for a good two weeks.Wasn't he missing the Norwood game with illness too? Must be a doozy of a flu.

We had a bye for the state game so it's been three weeks.

No mention of Taylor, which is strange.

Club behind the bests, in the AFL write up Taylor was mentioned as best player, in SANFL where the club clearly has influence on best player naming, no mention of Taylor.
If they had Taylor, Curtin, Dowling mentioned each week the pressure to play them would not be in Nick's plans.

Didn’t see the game today but looking at the write up and the stats did the Godden/Wright dynamic duo yet again give top-ups like Jay Boyle and Steve Burton prime midfield time while again shoving AFL listed players to the periphery? like Dowling to a wing, Pedlar to half-forward, Edwards at half-back & Bond down back?
He looks great. Exits stoppage with speed. Looks real crafty with ball in hand. Give him a go ffsSANFL Showreel, R7: Zac Taylor highlights

More skilled than both Schoenberg and Berry inside the contest, elite handball and good by foot...only way we find out now is play him because his fitness is now up to scratch.

Dowling was pretty poor today by his usual Snaffle standards, doubt today'efforts would help his chances at AFL next week unless we get injuries.
Hearing this makes me even more pissed that we didn’t give him a go when in form earlier in the season

Perhaps that's the roles they would have in the AFL?

He was good, but it was only a couple of games and he wasn't smashing the door down. Just a couple of good accumulator games (and one fantastic kick)

Was at the game today and Hamill and Taylor were head and shoulders above the rest.
Dowling had a reasonable last quarter when he seemed to be playing behind the ball but McHenry was mostly ineffectual. Certainly didn’t create anything or break lines/break out of packs/carry the ball like Hamill and Taylor did… in fact the first two possessions I saw Ned have were two turn overs.
Bond looked neat enough whenever he got it but didn’t have it often. Pedlar looks crazy underdone and well of the pace. Curtin is impressive physically and athletically… he’ll be fine long term but I wish we were brave enough to just give him game time in the seniors, particularly in winnable games at home. Sure, ease him into senior footy, but do actually give him the opportunities…
And speaking of size, Hamill is noticeably bigger this year. He always looked like a boy against men, but he’s actually looking pretty solid now. I’m a bit more optimistic about him actually making it than I ever have been before.
But it’s hard to properly assess these guys. The top ups are pretty ordinary and a lot of play simply breaks down due to skill errors. Who knows how some of these young guys would look playing in a decent team surrounded by decent players… if only there was a senior team they could be selected for where they could have an opportunity to play alongside other good players.
