Stephens - pace, endurance, foot skillsOriginally Posted by RogueSwan
Yes get Stephens in already
Will Hayward, come on down.
I'd also like to see Stephens get a game, but Heeney and Hayward are far more like for like.
It was an absolute nightmare of a game wasn't it. The sort of game that makes one question his place in the list.
Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.
Watched the replay. Bell was serviceable and praised by Hickey in a post match interview.
Came on in unusual circumstances on a slippery night. Criticism way over the top.
Yes, and I find it a bit strange, that people are now claiming that he's slow. He's not slow, he's one of our more athletic players, who just couldn't catch the fastest player on the ground, Nick Hind.
I haven't watched the replay, but didn't think my comment was that OTT, or "TB" for that matter
I shall rewatch

Agree.....except I'd have McLean back in, not Hayward. Regarding Bell, I do like him but after last night, he would have to absolutely light up the reserves to ever be picked in the one's again. Call that over the top if you like.....but it's pretty obvious he's just not up to required AFL standard.

Happy to read these comments.
Bell was OK. Not fantastic, not woeful. He was involved in a few nice passages of play, and had a couple of moments he'd like back. Every player can say that last bit.
I don't think he's in our best 22 (at least at the moment) but I do think he's a valuable squad member who can come in and contribute when the injuries start to mount up.
He's also still got just a handful of games under his belt, so there's plenty of scope for improvement, if he gets the opportunities. Those writing him off as "not up to required AFL standard" are way off base.
If fit, Rowbottom in for Heeney, with Blakey playing forward.
Otherwise Hayward and Stephens in for Heeney and Blakey.
Also be tempted to give Ling / COR / Melican run for Campbell, depending on where he is up to.
I think Logan needs to get as many games in with Buddy as he can and he still looks fresh.
Gulden looks like he could easily go all season with no break - he was born AFL ready!
I know it is past us and we dont want any dickheads like him in our team but Elijah Taylor would have been good in this team. Could have easily surpassed Hayward by now and would have been a handy replacement for Heeney.
I agree with that I'd have Stephenss as the sub the only concern I have is that Stephens wasn't even an emergency last match I wonder if there's something there with him maybe with Fitness that the club has not told the public about
