mini mac is more of a baker type defender/tagger...both don't really have known or outstanding qualities other than their tagging/defending roles

x seems like more of a dempster type defender/tagger as x actually has some decent footskills and he is pacy when he isnt busy doing his hammies

On raw football talent, X is the best player currently available to come into the 22

the football public expects us to lose, so whats the risk ?

if X breaks down I would rather he breaks down in week 1 than in the middle of the GF. If he doesnt break down then he has gained some valuable game time.

Best case scenario is that X finds his form.

Play X this week !

Much too unreliable especially in a big game like this after an extended lay off
if he actually runs out the game... which realistically is a big IF, he's always been a player that fades in out of games much too much, especially in big games.

I'd rather mini personally

Depends if we want to be attacking or defensive.

I believe you have to attack Geelong, and X is the way to do that.

not going to be very attacking if he cant get a kick at all or does his hamstring in the 1/4
