Though Chandler played well does he get a gig with Fritsch Salem Hibbert Viney and May all ready ? If Pickett goes Chandler will temporarily keep his place
You would know best as a Dees supporter? As an outsider, his delivery into the forward line was superb, I can't see how the Dees give up on that given they are rolling with a resting ruck in the forward line as their structure. He's one of the best kicks you have in the 22, I reckon the selection committee will do everything to try and keep him in the team.

Would it be wise to gift games to players on name basis and/or returning from injury and thus possibly underdone rather than rewarding form?
Also, what message does it send to the youngsters especially either in the 23 or VFL if there is a preconceived “best 22” and the long term consequences (player movement post season/future seasons if not given opportunities) and what does it also send to the established or older players if there is less pressure on their spots? Pressure is healthy, especially with the Dees in the premiership window.
Tackles are one of the key indicators I use for both rookies and premiums (K Chandler= Equal second last night with 7) but unsure whether coaching staff place the same importance on this.
Flanders was very forward and not much midfield ... Got his late points from goal assist and a goal. Probably the main reason I'm looking at JHF because he was mainly mid
New early thoughts (changing with every carnage game)
Jelly > Green
Flanders/Hopper/Setterfield > Worpel/Finn (this trade unneccary but so annoying getting the mid-pricers so wrong early)
Real short term thinking; I still don't think Green will be a top 8 mid, but I assume no Jelly (1-2 rounds) and no Perryman (2-3 rounds) and they've got WCE next week, who still should have no NicNat.
Laird - Callaghan (should now be in the mids short term with all GWS injuries/concussion worries)
Jones - Sicily (dont like any other downgrade options)
L. Jones, Jelly and Fyfe out, JHF in (was at the game and he passed the eye test spectacularly), not sure of the rest yet, maybe Pedlar/Cole/Phillipou and LDU.
