Patton is nowhere near best 22 and is a lock down back pocket or poor mans winger. Bonner is a running half back. Assuming we get some cattle back from injury, I can't see Patton getting games (Stocker and Webster ahead of him down back and Wood/Wilson/Byrnes ahead of him on the wing)

I was surprised at Hastie getting a game ahead of McLennon.
McLennon isn't real exciting but he plays very clean in the backline, which can be good.

Paton.
Well that is some good news on our players who have been injured. Very good news.
Plus handy that webstergot some match practice, which he cannot do with sames for Sandy.
Even better.
With King as well we might get at least a few back then this week. Though Webster has 1 more week to go.
King, Wood, Dow, Howard and Hayes would be most welcome. Maybe Clark too.
Out Jones, Sharman, Jones, Cordy and Caminiti/Pou and Butler who was Sub.
Butler was Sub, and Paton is not necessarily better that a player he would force out.

I'm well aware of their roles. Spell his name right. Paton coming back would mean Stocker moves into Bonner's role and isn't relied on to lock down on opponents on his own. Webster and Stocker was such a good combo, so Paton slots straight in for Webster atm
I do agree Paton isn't B22 atm tho and probably will play a couple more 2s games before considered for selection.
I remember the preseason when Roughead broke him, man he was flying! Been a shadow of that player ever since.

Wood has to be close too. He's a pro and won't play VFL you'd think.

Don’t think so, not sighted at all
Bit of a myth. He was OK, but not on a par with some of the recruits we've seen since.
Wasn't going to dominate the competition, but definitely stood out that preseason at all of the training sessions I attended. I can still hear his screams when he got injured, was bloody horrific!

Happened right in front of me, not nice
Paton is a role player and does the back pocket role as good as anyone - due to his injury we don't know if he ever gets back to the form when he held the likes of Papley and Cameron - we will soon find out though - pretty sure he would of done a better job than whoever played on that Dogs small forward.

He was probably the most advanced of him, Coff and Clark. He had less ceiling but was a very competent HBF. He was a very neat player and was holding players down as well as anyone in that role. I think there was some stats that said he lost the least on on ones of any of the small defenders in his best year. Might have been 2020.
have the best players/goal kckers etc been listed yet?
That is from the weekends scratch match.

Given it was an unofficial game they might not give that detail. We'll hopefully get some insight later in the week when they start talking about possible inclusions this week and how the guys coming back from injury are looking.

Sandringham should have a pretty fair side this week with the amount of Saints returning. They also play the bottom side so hopefully it means a good win to kick the boys along.
