Hill & Bellchambers vs McEvoy.

We're asking a lot of McEvoy.

[mightysainters]

Hille has hardly played a game all year, horrifically underdone...

Colyer was good when he came on, really injected good pace for the bummers and was a major catalyst in their fightback..

It abundantly clear to me Hurley won't play and Colyer will come in for 'speed' as it has been noted is our weakness. Although i wouldn't be surprised if Gumby comes in for him, as they do seem to be light on KPF.

I really think we're a huge chance in this game and have us ahead. Very very happy with the changes.

Yep, by 2016/17 we would be looking for replacements for

- Rooey
- Lenny
- Milne
- Maister
- Jones
- Ray

The top 2 are virtually irreplaceable, but the others are entirely within what we might expect from a natural development of our current younger group.

Hearing wright cover 18 kms last week in his first game tells me the guy works hard at getting to contests and chasing.
I know nothing about him but seems to be heading in the right direction.

Hill & Bellchambers vs McEvoy.

McEvoy vs Bellchambers for 75% of the time.

Who else could spell in the ruck against the 202cm, 108kg Hille for the remaining 25%...

- Stanley 200cm BUT we would prefer him playing as a key back permanently
- Tom Lee 194cm, 91kg - surely too small and too light to go against Hille
- Beau Maister 194cm, 98 kg - undersized but not so much as Lee and would be fitter than Hille, especially relevant for around the ground ball-ups

Perhaps we'll start Big Ben at all the centre clearances and look to spell him during open play a bit more?
