If he gets as much time on the ground as last game not much, he is a very tall and skinny kid, that you won't see his best until he fills out...hope i get a better look tomorrow.

If this arrangement is true it probably wouldn’t sit well with other vfl listed players that are trying to get a gig each week and then you have a fellow team mate choosing what he does and when.
Even stranger is a vfl coach entertaining it

I guess it gives us an insight to being SWells etc. Is there enough of glimpse ..foot skills speed mobility marking etc. Anyway keen to hear your thoughts
Think (hope) it is just one hold back for melbourne game. So take 2 out of the VFL team. But given Ceglar is always a guess maybe it ends up being 3 out?
EDIT….In the end you might be right. If both 2E and Rohan have some doubt right up until the game they might hold two back (Tanner and Dempsey?) with Mitch staying as sub. It would be a real shame if they do that and then both end up ok - as Tanner would have missed 3 weeks not playing then. Makes me think that if they hold them both back there is a good chance of a late change and therefore Tanner will play. We will know more at 12pm…
I think the order is still Mitch as sub but if a late change they play Tanner…then if two late changes they might put Mitch in and have Dempsey sub (could go either way?)

Maybe that means Ceglar will play
I see your point but I think they are looking for more versatility than just a pure inside midfielder as a sub. They can rotate others through the midfield so don’t need one as a sub. So a forward (Rohan, Henry, Dempsey, Simpson) will be sub more often than not and Mitch fits the versatility bill very well (in particular with just one ruckman).
So I reckon they still with Mitch. The will want Bruhn to play full game so will play VFL unless there is a change before the game and then he will leapfrog into team. Parf not emergency so will play VFL. Think Dempsey will be the hold over?

To be fair i know geelong tried to get benson to the vfl team last year and he said no so this could have been part of what was required to get him to commit this year-we dont really know.

Van de heuvel can ruck but i doubt they would rest christie if cegs wasnt playing.
How has de Heuvel been playing?
I like the look of him. He has his (bad) moments but he is a big man and that goes with the territory (yes I am not tall!). He can’t really play ruck all day but has been pretty handy down back and then pinch hitting up the ground.

Hes been good..as CHAWKTS said his form isnt mid season draft worthy but it shows promise..i like his competitiveness.

There are 42 listed players I would imagine most players would be under a similar program so the club can get a real good look at as many as possible. There would only be a handful that get a lot more games and there would also be a few that already have a line put through them.

Hope Willis goes well given Mitch Owen - a gun - was very next cab off the rank. Although he may have been tied to the Saints - can't quite remember.
It would be nice if he could develop into a backup KPD.
Can someone definitely clarify how to say Clohesy name. Is it Close y. as being said on the TV?

Nice to have a game on 7 with the better camera work. Also it's sort of embarrassing that the VFL commentators on channel 7 are clearly superior to the AFL commentators.

Clohesy and Foster have both started really well. Game completely in our forward half early.
