Not a fan of wicks, id see Dyl, Rankin etc before him
They’ve brought Darcy in because he’s kicked 7 goals in the past 2 VFL matches playing the forward-second ruck role that Lobb has been doing in the seniors. Even though Bevo has a real penchant for shifting the magnets around on the whiteboard I’d be surprised if Darcy plays back
Especially when they do have 3 tall defenders in Keath Gardner and O’Donnell. It may not be their first choices but they do have the height to fit the bill.
Normally yes, but not Wicks as far as I’m concerned. However, I am prepared to see how he goes this week. He went well in the ressies last week but his form in the seniors this year has been forgettable, but in fairness he was injured for quite some time. My main gripe is that I don’t see him as part of our future so I wouldn’t be playing him. I know Horse and we as supporters want to win against the Fairypups, but let’s face it, they have a top 4 spot to play for against our pride.
Bottom line: I would have brought in HHK even if he hasn’t been banging the door down. Now is the time to give the kids a go- I’ll accept 15th spot this year with a view to improvement from 2024 onwards.
2 of the 4 Wicks kicked were lucky at the end of a play
Im off him, he is what he is, hit his ceiling
Maybe it’s Wicks’ last chance?
Rampe is keen for a win in Longmire's 300th game.

when will JL and rest of selectors evr learn. English wil have a field day, hayden is a fwd who maybe can pinch hit in the ruck but is not now and never will be a first/main ruckman same for Amerty, clearance will go dogs way significantly. Get big mac into the side leave him in the team for the rest of the year. Missing sheldrick wont help as well
It’s easier to rove to the opposition ruckman knowing you will lose the ruck contest than to rove to your own ruckman who wins 30% of the time and not always effective taps to position
While most will say our season is done, Horse is a competitor and while we’re a mathematical chance, he’s likely to select based on best side, not blooding for the future
Agreed, another poor night at the selection table, it’s almost like they open a bottle of red and pull names out of a hat
Despite his size, McClean just isn’t a ruck, not even a back up. Amartey is better but putting him No 1 is a big call
Missed opportunity to get some game time into McAndrew, I expect English will get 3 votes tonight
