Rd 22 vs Port at the SCG

[BRS328]

Wouldn't mind seeing Snell get a debut next week, if he's fit again. I'd argue that his VFL form has been better than both Melican and Hamling, although Hamling has been put forward a bit. But would rather him come in against Essendon, rather than as a forced change for a final, if another defender gets injured. Although, Rampe will probably come back in after being managed, just to complicate things a bit further.

I doubt that they will risk taking the opportunity to try Snell out this late in the season. Unfortunately he missed his opportunity when he injured his knee a few weeks ago. Is certainly a prospect for the future.
Experience becomes more important this time of the year

I should have also said that Serong was a revelation playing more midfield time. More of that please!

Dare we say it, big bodied midfielder! His evolution is pretty funny since the club openly pitched to him a role as Rampe's successor, had him train as a defender all preseason, but continued to watch his GPS numbers explode and then right on the start of the season went, well, maybe we'll give you a run on the wing.

Much deserved Rising Star nomination for Jesse Dattoli!

I thought he was a good chance. I don't think Kyle has a nomination yet, so maybe he gets one next week.

(Sorry for the double post - I didn't think the first one worked.)

Not sure if its just me, But from a distance Dattoli looks like Heeney and even moves like Heeney. Does anyone agree.

no I thought that when we drafted him after watching his highlights package.

got to see him start to finally fill his potential as a Heeney-lite

Yes, and they were both wearing orange boots. And Dattoli sending a few darts from the midfield to the forwards was very Heeney like.

Dattoli has recently said that Heeney has been a mentor to him, and that they go through the tapes of each other's games; discussing what they were trying to do, how they could do things better, etc.

That left foot dart in the middle of the ground from Datolli was awesome.
Screw the fwd line, get him in the mids
