How many on your other account?
That’s assuming he is gonna be back for the Dogs game.
If he isn’t straight back in the side next week (because he has a broken hand) it will look ridiculous.
Not sure how bad this broken hand is though.
It’ll be mega interesting if Stanley isn’t available… I’m not sure we’d play Conway v the dogs… might be Neale time.
Anyway we will know in time.
There’s almost definitely something going on with his hand.
Doesn’t look bad though from the pics (which is good).
I’m not complaining… I think Conway should be playing this game anyway.
Interesting to see if Stanley is straight back in next week… assuming the hand is good to go, you’d think he will be back.
How does Mullen continue to get a game ?
Can't argue with the selected team. A small sigh of sadness for Mannagh. Although I do buy the squad rotation reasoning.
Offers something they think the team needs or see something in him I guess. Would prefer Mannagh or Knevitt but I don't mind it that much as there's no one else we're really doing that but it is weird how far out if favour Bews has fallen (diff type of defender to Mullen though).
I gotta say in all the games Mullin has played this year… I don’t really recall thinking that he was costing the team.
He doesn’t really have much of an offensive game but made a few runs last week that looked impressive.
He isn’t keen on kicking though.
What he has is a strong body, clean hands, speedy little steps and keeps his feet with his low to the ground centre of gravity.
I can see it slowly coming together.
Still a long way to go though.
Maybe by the end of the year he will look like a different player, maybe it’ll take a couple more years.
There’s something to work with though for sure and the club must see it or they wouldn’t select him.

Worth a look. Younger than Port, Brisbane and Collingwood this week. Same age as Richmond, Carlton and Melbourne.
Must have been a while since we fielded a side no older than 6 other teams that week

Mannagh new to the caper and rested on the short break surely
As for Mullin he doesn't know he's not an AFL player, so considering he has all the physical attributes it makes sense to get him up to speed in the AFL!
Hawks have a few dangerous smalls so there's a spot there too

The club would be weighing up the pros and cons of giving Mullin a solid run in the VFL versus investing some time at the highest level into him, and decided that putting in the investment now will yield bigger benefits down the track. I agree with that assessment.

Very pleased to have Atkins, Bowes, Bruhn, Conway + Duncan in the team.
Really excited for the young blokes to experience our traditional Easter Monday game against Hawks.
Duncan is a huge 'in', adds so much depth + experience. Atkins returning is fantastic, need our bull!
Thrilled for Conway to have this opportunity.
Looking forward to see Bowes + Bruhn's impact in the team.
Still quite a while to go

Looking forward to Mullin stepping out on the wide expanses of the ‘G. We did the same with MOC who’s now a 100 odd game Premiership player with some saying we still need to get games into him! Please. Sure he’s there ahead of Cuthrie Bews and Atkins for various reasons but he has the highest ceiling of just about anyone on our list over the next 4 months so I’d rather stick with him and cross our fingers as a speedy small defender is one of the few pieces missing right now.
For all the talk re our midfield it’s not looking too shabby at all, cancel each other out and we have more than enough at either end.
Cats by 25, rain hail or shine.

Exactly - his game is developing nicely considering his newness to the whole thing.
Very noticeable how clean he is below his knees now and how efficient he’s disposing of it now compared to a few games ago.
Looks to be covering a lot of ground and wow when he puts the jets on he’s lightning.
Love that we’re getting games into the younger guys - long season and I suspect that teams that manage their squads with the full season in mind will be there at the pointy end.
We’ve got a great list if they all stay fit and are available
Clubs almost always do this for late games, and especially with so many returning from injury it'd be insane not to.

I reckon if Bews had played the exact same game as Mullin last week we would've heard a lot of "he shut Rankine out of the game", "we've got nobody else to play on the small forwards", etc.
With Mullin it's that he's miles off it and needs 10+ games in the VFL.

We are. Very rarely get to a game because he’s either working, playing basketball or playing footy. But no games this weekend so we are taking his sister to her first afl game! Had to promise her donuts to get the deal done! Side note, she follows the dogs.

We had a MF comprising Bartel, Kelly, Corey, Ling, GAJ, Rooke- all very similar , apart from GAJ. We just need players who can win the ball.

Nice introductory algebra problem for him to work it out?
If I haven't messed up it's about 100 points. Eg a scoreline of 143-45 would sneak us on top.
