Might be said in jest, but it is quite possible that he has an injury interrupted year. He might start late, might need to be nursed through. If so it makes perfect sense to train a player like Balta to take his place.

Do we want to start the season with a makeshift forward line. Balta as the key forward with Kosi would work. I would thing Gibcus could also do it, but too much pressure on a kid coming from a fair way back. Ryan is a ruck. There is nobody else. I would like to see Young also trialled forward. He's big and strong and reads the ball in the air very well, hence his spoiling ability.

We don't want to go into the season with all our money on Lynch, we need some backup options, so why not trial those over the summer. I am sure Balta will also train with the defenders as well. It's just good preparation.
I doubt we'll ever see Lynch ever get back to his best
 
Need to do some voodoo magic on lynch’s leg or ankle or whatever it is …. Does Louie know the dark arts maybe?

Let’s think about this logically. Round 1 Richmond has Gold Coast : Ben King, Lukocious, Casboult and maybe Walter up forward.

Round 2 it’s Carlton with Curnow, McKay and a resting TDK.

Next round it’s Port: Dixon, Marshall, Georgiades, Lord, Finlayson.

Are we really relying on Young and a raw Gibcus coming back from a year out? We’d need Miller to play back in those first few games for sure.

I really don’t like the idea of Young, Gibcus, Miller and a potentially cooked Grimes holding our backline together against three really big and capable forward lines to start the season.

I don't hold much confidence with kozi up fwd . Apart from one year he's shown nothing.
Was a defender in his junior years.
Could live with the combo of kosi/Gibcus & Young.

I knew it'd happen as soon as i heard Corn was on the panel, given his commentary on certain players, how he's allowed anywhere near that panel needs a serious explanation.

TT not making the squad was bad sign number 1. Reality is 18 or so players probably picked themselves, then the last 4 spots would have been between 8-9 players.

If any player has just 1 or 2 naysayers dead against their selections on the panel they are gonesky in any ‘toss of the coin’. That’s why Charlie Cameron got in despite 15 games with 2 or less goals, as he’s off broadway in Brisbane without anyone against his team. It’s why Larkey got in, as nobody is against pitiful Norf.

Those banking on Miller to have a defensive presence are living on the ceiling.

The Blancmange is lucky to still be on the list, let alone grow some defensive backbone.
