I think Carmichael could have a decent game, if he gets an opportunity. Can win the footy and get a it a fair bit. He could have a 30 possession debut game, and get dropped the following week, should DeGoey be back....

Or a 3 possession game and be reselected like Chugg.
Everything is a why or a unknown. Why, let him be the sub, if the club don't want to give him an opportunity at AFL level, just a taste. Against North, maybe they think it's an opportunity to do that...
Could do a hammy in the warm up, and not even make it to the first bounce...

Wasn't he last week's sub? He must be desperately in need of a bit of game time which he could have in the VFL while JC takes over DG's spot. Not really concerned about losing DG for a week as he looked lost against GC.

Not sure why Chugg would be an in. Looked completely out of his depth

Maybe it's something we can't see?

Bad news about JDG but hopefully a blessing in disguise in that he can refresh himself mentally without the scrutiny and pressure to perform while still being around his team mates. Hope the strain isn’t too bad though. Signs seem to point to a Carmichael debut (thanks Jen).
I’d like to see Will Kelly get a call up but the VFL watchers are not giving me much confidence.
The selectors have pulled the right strings most occasions so far this year and I’ve enjoyed not stressing about it as in the past.

Did Begg look like he was ready for AFL footy, yet was given an opportunity?

Surely that was a byproduct of Grundy's long-term injury, Cox not yet hitting form with a set role in the twos, and our season not having a clear indicator of our finals aspirations?

I thought Kelly was really solid in the VFL last week. Given Madge was playing forward I'd be happy to see him picked.

Nonsense comparison. Begg plays a position with little depth and was elevated due to that shallowness. He also looked much better at senior level.

Begg needed the run to give him a little to work with. We weren't quite there and McRae wanted Cox to be consistent in the VFL, then elevate him. Part of McRae's mantra is that anyone can play well for one or two games, but it's putting together a string of performances and builds confidence so when you are elevated, you have had a few good matches. It's better to have someone hunting a debut than feeling frustrated due to poor performance at AFL level.

Terrible news for JDG.
Hopefully nothing too serious.
Would love to see Carmichael come in.
Also--would love to see us play Kelly too with Moore out.
Great chance to get a look at a few players.

Think we need Kelly as additional cover…

Yeah, I think so too. You don't want Howe as that role, stops him from doing what he does best.
We have used Madge in situations like this previously, but he isn't a option now.

I thought he improved after Dean came off. Played thinking he had a sniff.

Given what happened to Dean, now Madgen as soon as CHB is up for grabs, Kelly, if selected, will probably acquire some illness or injury between now and the game. I tend to agree that Kelly or McMahon should be added to the line up, but that would also require 3 changes, meaning Ruscoe would lose his spot.
