So looking toward Saturday…I am really hoping that “new Mitch” is in town and ready to play VFL…
With the game being before AFL I am afraid that we will have an additional “hold back” from VFL which means I think we lose an AFL player (unless someone gets omitted for Bowes and Rohan - I think someone will be injured/rested, but maybe we get Parf back?)
What I am afraid of is that they keep Dempsey as a hold back - I think that would be bad for him…he doesn’t need to ”nice signal/experience” - he needs to play a full game again to back up last weeks good game. But they take hold backs seriously as they have to be ready to play just in case game day injury/illness (despite it being very rare)…
Other teams in this situation would play someone for first half and then hold them back on the rare chance they are needed (and then as sub). Let’s hope Geelong do that given our lack of afl listed players…
