That comment didn’t age well.Scaife has only just arrived and played one game at Box Hill. Let’s see what he produces over the next few weeks before getting too enamoured with his potential.
Wont be far off a debut.
If they want to rest Dear or Gunston - Jasper is travelling to Perth anyway with the team for match day experience Vs WCE
He's shown enough to see he belongs at the top level, but with McGovern and Barrass waiting, maybe a bit much seeing as only 3 weeks ago he was playing in the WAFL?
He's done everything right and seems to learn really quickly.
I'd be happy with Jasper for Gunston, back in the youth.
If anyone said we may line up at AFL level in season 2024 with a forward line of Dear, Chol, Scaife, Watson, Ginnivan and Breust, I'd be thinking I'd probably had a stroke and had gone bonkers!
Based on form and fitness, right now, yes. If Chol or Dear were injured next week I would play Scaife before Lewis. The onus should be on Lewis to demonstate otherwise.Behind or in front of Mitch Lewis?
I agree. A lot of people here have him as an automatic inclusion. I'd like to see him dominate a game in the 2s. Would be good for his confidence as well. Sam said at the start of the year that he wasn't playing anyone on reputation. Hoping that this continues. I'm sure he'll be able to smash down the door - I just want to see it before he comes in.Based on form and fitness, right now, yes.

If you see that kick at the 59 second mark of the first quarter in Saturday's game. Looked absolutely effortless. Went from 75 m out to the teeth of the goals. He will be an asset with all his other skills.I agree. A lot of people here have him as an automatic inclusion. I'd like to see him dominate a game in the 2s.

Lewis comes in.Does Lewis come straight in now? Think either him or Scaife need to come in for Gunston for the WA trip
I was wondering if Lewis would be getting the Wingard treatment of getting fully match fit in the VFL before coming up to the seniors.lol Jasper is not getting a game before Lewis
Lewis also covers a fair bit of ground up and down the field much like Gunners. This will be important to keep things open and moving up front and to make sure things don't get bogged down.Lewis comes in.
Scaife has a tonne of promise but he knows 4/5ths of eff all about our game plan at this point. Lewis is the only bloke on our list that can cover for Gunston in terms of understanding our structure and how we want to play, he's the better option at this point in time also.
I don't find that logical at all. Tail wagging the dog.The most logical scenario for the west coast game is to bring Seamus in following his slashing game for Box Hill. Then move Hardwick forward and let Gunston have a rest in Melbourne.
Lewis can add fitness with Box Hill
If Lewis is fit, he comes in.
It's more a fitness concern and whether Lewis can play out a full game. Scaife looks great, but an away game on debut as a full forward is a tall order. Good to just get confidence into his game at VFL.

This is logical
Scaife isn't getting picked ahead of Lewis full stop, soon as Lewis is fit he places Dear. Scaife is behind both.Playing a hobbling Lewis instead of a fit Scaife who just kicked 3 in a half is... very bold, prime minister.
Gunston rest in Melbourne after having a weekend off for a bye?... why?The most logical scenario for the west coast game is to bring Seamus in following his slashing game for Box Hill. Then move Hardwick forward and let Gunston have a rest in Melbourne.

It was managed time I think and I haven't heard anything about how it went. I have no idea how likely, or not, he is to get up in a fortnight.How on earth can he be fit after not really getting through a half at Box Hill?
