Him playing forward at AFL level opens up the possibility of getting Miers and/or Close more midfield minutes (if we're still throwing the magnets around in there....)Mannagh?
Hasn't started a centre bounce outside of the forward 50 (except when on the bench)
He's had no genuine midfield time, and at times has been our deepest forward
He looks too good for this level, but hard to see who he replaces in the senior team
And chances are woth the pae of the game increasing and pressure doing the same the errors may actually increase.
No second grabs etc... and we see it with Parfitt, MOC, Danger even.

Yeah Hardie and Mannagh need to do team things.Just now with the turnover outside our 50m
Parfitt has the ball against the boundary line, teammates yelling for Hardie to block for him - instead he backs away to receive the ball
It's always good to watch players at the ground & not just on a screen or via stats - this looks his level, he'll be an accumulator but there's not really been that aspect of his game where he looks like a real damaging player & will offer something different at senior level
When watching players, especially at this level, you want to see at least one aspect of their game that really grabs you & offers that bit of something, but not really seeing it with Hardie
We need to remember, that there's nothing wrong with being a top VFL player
He deserved one. He's looked hungry for a goal, Clohesy went over his head not long before.Stevens is an exciting youngster - can tell he loved kicking that goal

Another option I guess is that post-Hawkins, we go with a slightly smaller forward setup (Cameron + Henry + 4 medium/smalls, or Cameron + Henry + Neale and 3 smalls....)We seem to already do that a bit with those two guys
Watching Shaun today, if Strangle missed a month he'd be straight in - it just feels those two play a very similar role
I'd like to see Shaun playing further up the ground for periods of matches & what he'd offer to our setup in that role - it's hard to see him not getting another opportunity at some stage this season though
Yeah Hardie and Mannagh need to do team things.
Non compliance is not ann option for promotion.

And it's not a good look either when your 197cm FF out runs your 185cm midfielder along the wing, to pressure the opposition
Hardie’s just had 36 and kicked 1.2. I’m much more interested in what he does well.
I’m glad you see something there. I’m getting very doubtful he’ll make it.Thought Knevitt played well too, I think they are clearly grooming him as Tuohy replacement - someone who can cover a huge amount of ground, is useful going forward but can sag back at the right times and compete in the air.
Honestly, if that doesn't get you into one of the weaker midfields in the comp, nothing will.Hardie’s just had 36 and kicked 1.2. I’m much more interested in what he does well.
Based on what?
