Worried about Menzie JS with Guelfi/Stringer injured @Bomber18?
Reckon he plays R1 with another good showing
Don't know about the long term prospects but you'd have him ahead of Walla at least.
A combo of davey, menzie, guelfi, Snelling, Walla should (on paper) be better forward pressure than the non-existent pressure last year

Don’t think Guelfi would be a lock in the B22 and Stringer plays a slightly different sort of role.

There would be some JS concerns / competition for Menzies but if he continues to perform, he should push ahead of Snelling, AMT, Davey etc.

Small forwards are hardest to select this season imo though as they probably have the greatest sub risk…. I don’t currently have Menzies but might look there if we don’t get a cheaper bench option.

Whats everyone’s thoughts on tom cole? Apparently had a real good game of half back, heaps of the ball. At 182k could quickly get to the 300k+. We were willing to pay 194k for a one gamer in goater but not much talk about cole. Doesn’t need to set the world on fire, great job security and a player who could make 150k?

Screams guy that runs free in a pre season game then Round 1 comes around and he locks down for a 30, pass from me.

He nearly pushed a 70 ave in 2020. His now at 25 years of age, I can’t see why he wouldn’t do the same. Who’s a better all round option at his price as a rookie defender. Im mean job security, scoring etc..

Guelfi finished 3rd in the B & F last year :)
