I can get behind this. Dev might not win us the game, but he won't cost us the game either.
Make Bailey the sub.

They need to get Starce in the leadership group.Could Beecken take Berry's wing spot if required? I guess you'd expect them to select Sharp after he was the sub
Hoping Answerth comes in for Brain
Bombers don't have many small forwards so Starce may have to play tall on Stringer or Langford
Could consider Beecken, mature body and pace. But I don’t think the coaches will. Too late in the season to try other options. Beecken didn’t really press his claim in the vfl this week and iirc played more half back than wing.Could Beecken take Berry's wing spot if required? I guess you'd expect them to select Sharp after he was the sub

No .Will Reville be good to go?
Out: current goal kicking practice routineDiscuss.
Without laying blame on anyone that's a good point you make.Out: current goal kicking practice routine
In: different goal kicking practice routine
I don't care what it is or how it changes, what we do know from Saturday's comments by the coach is that we've been practicing the same way for years. Little surprise then that we're still getting the same results.
Definition. Of. Insanity.
Oh, personnel you mean. Who cares really![]()
Pretty sure Starce is actually in the leadership group already.They need to get Starce in the leadership group.
Taking a leaf out of his book would improve the game of some of the others.
I can't have Sharp in any respect but if you're going to play him the Bombers would be the right game. Beecken looks a more accomplished footballer. Brain is on thin ice but he has some promise. Answerth is far more defensively minded if that's what we need.
With a post match bye I'm fairly sure Fagan will go for the team he'd pick if it were a final of those up and running.
Oh right. Yes he is.Pretty sure Starce is actually in the leadership group already.
We need to offset the attacking nature of Zorko with a defensive minded shut down defender in Answerth I think. I like what Brain has offered and great he’s had a taste but the balance is off with only Starcevich as a component smaller “defender”. Wilmot is decent but we lose his attacking run and drive if we are relying on him to cover Zorko & Brain. Beecken is far too attacking minded to bring in alongside Zorko I think.Outs- Jarrod Berry(inj), Shadeau Brain(omit).
Ins- Luke Beecken, Dev Robertson.
Harry Sharp plays a full game on the wing, Luke Beecken straight swap for Shadeau Brain to provide some run and pace, Zac Bailey as the sub.
Bailey could be a fantastic small forward but he's defensive effort is nothing compared to Ah Chee's. If Charlie was to go missing I would be happy for Bailey to sit in the pocket and play that role.I would not risk Berry this week even if he looks okay at training. That way he gets 2 weeks to get hammy right.
Play Sharp.
He was not as bad as some posters have made out.
50% TOG, 2 turnovers, 64% disposal efficiency, 14 disposals, 2 marks, 2 tackles, 3 stoppage clearances 2 rebound 50's, 2 intercepts, picked up 3 free kicks
Would also swap Bailey back to wing and Ah Chee forward.
Fagan has been changing these two a bit recently so another change not disruptive or unexpected.
I just prefer Ah-Chee's forward pressure way more than Baileys.
We have a few young inexperienced players in the team already so not keen on debuting anyone else.
However, if i was going to debut anyone it would be Will McLachlan this week. Then just move Bailey to the wing
Our best wingers are Hugh McCluggage and Jarrod Berry but I prefer Berry in the guts and McCluggage as a balanced mid.Bailey could be a fantastic small forward but he's defensive effort is nothing compared to Ah Chee's. If Charlie was to go missing I would be happy for Bailey to sit in the pocket and play that role.
Actually not sure I rate Bailey on the wing more than Ah Chee either though...
