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.

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

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.
