[Zagbag]

Averaged 114+ four years in a row, missing only one game in the time. Only had one season in his career averaging below 100 - his debut year. Some people will never be happy when it comes to the Bont.

Bont will be the highest averaging player in the comp this year.

 

[Grundogging]

Adding Bowes to the watch list this week.

 

[stephen]

Bont will be the highest averaging player in the comp this year.

Agreed

 

[Shannon]

I really don’t like kids debuting as the sub, such a big moment in a young man’s career & he will sit on the bench for most of the game unless there is an injury.

 

[Blue Bloods]

Adding Bowes to the watch list this week.

Yes watching Bowes as a possible Jones replacement in a week or so.

 

[PC]

Bont will be the highest averaging player in the comp this year.

Agreed

Nice to see you two getting along at the start of this season

 

[Blue Bloods]

More worried he is a Bruhn replacement and subbed off, like for like and Bruhn did fade in the last half of the game.

 

[Shannon]

I think that is a real possibility unfortunately

 

[Connoisseur]

Given Geelong have one of the older playing lists and with an additional round this season, would they look to use the sub more often to provide in game rests to their older players rather than their younger players?

Yep, just moved him to the bench! Game time was a real concern last week, but the chatter was about that when Parfitt came on, he took the Bruhn mid time and now, he has been dropped, with the SUB still TBC (though Whyte has been mentioned as debuting?)

If the game is won definitely on option, just worried very like for like.

 

[spinoff]

Tipping a play out of the Scott playbook = a late out of xxxx, Whyte comes in and someone else starts sub (Simpson this time).
Gotta love a Scott move 👍 I've never said a bad word about either of them, great coaches, great guys

 

[Xenomorph]

Bont will be the highest averaging player in the comp this year.

Love Bont as a player, can't imagine my team without him.

 

[stephen]

As long as nobody mentions Zac bailey we'll be fine

 

[Slammer]

Hewett 🙄😡

 

[Zagbag]

Stephen too cookie cutter so far, we might see some excitement when he trades in his usual speccie post-byes.

PS you were right on Rozee, just 3 years too soon….

With Blicavs on the bench, i can see him coming on to play in the backline on one of the carlton key forwards (silvagni,curnow,Mckay) and zach guthrie playing on jack martin. This means Smith will be moved up onto the wing, causing bruhn to be hopefully moved into a midfield rotation. Not sure fully, but just a speculative idea, Hope its true!

O'Connor will probably play Silvagni, Rat/De Koning on the other two and Guthrie, Bews and Tuohy can do the smalls.
