Bytel in then. Who else?

Bytel in then. Who else?

I’m thinking Paton straight in for Webster and then it’s a battle for sub.
Pbly between Coops and Campbell

Drug cheats haven't injected their apprentices yet?

[B.M]

Bytel and Highmore too good for VFL

Campbell monsters it because of his size but it’s his level

Ollie Lowe can play

Sharman is average - slow

[B.M]

There are some ordinary VFL players

The guy with the helmet struggling

[Otiman]

How is Peris going?

[on the outer]

How is Peris going?

So far 11 disposals 2 goals 5 tackles, looks quick, but is small has to fully commit his body to tackles to stop his opponent (perhaps not a bad thing) not sure how he would cope with the stronger bigger bodies in the afl.

[Saintmike65]

Footskills are young Peris’s weakness,, tidy that up & he’ll debut at some stage.
He was very prominent in match sim on Thursday!

[realdeal]

How is Peris going?

Kicked a ripper in the 4th...

Bytel looked good, should be an in the seniors next week

[StPeter]

Big win.

19.12 126 to 14.5 89

Heath 5 goals and 23 ho, Peris 3 goals

Bytel 34 possessions, Campbell 20 possessions and 37 ho

Bytel certainty to come into the seniors next week.

I would love to see Heath come in for Cordy who only had one possession yesterday. But doubt that RTB would drop Cordy who he always mentions at any opportunity.

[The Fireman]

Campbell solid

[Vortex]

Bytel and Highmore are the only players who are ready for AFL, the rest are way off the pace and unpickable.

Lyon has reminded us a few times already with media comments that you play the way you train, so I can't see Sharman playing in defence for Sandy and then being selected by Lyon to play in a forward line, that would be completely contradictory to his firmest of coaching beliefs. In any case he played quite average too so that won't help, as well as I recon he's too bruise free for Lyon's liking.

And unfortunately I can't see Campbell playing at AFL level.

Zero tall stocks left.

BUT!, if Cordy doesn't come up then watch out.

[The Fireman]

Good to see you paying attention to RTB. Like a willow…bending with the breeze

[Trev from the Bush]

Campbell only played the last round for us in 2022 and looked quire comfortable through my eyes as an AFL-standard ruckman. The club recruited him for a back-up role and, with more than 70 AFL matches under his belt, fills that role when / if needed.

Bytel is an automatic in. He was very good agains Freemantle until injured.

[skeptic]

BUT!, if Cordy doesn't come up then watch out.

Was he injured Vort?
