Would definitely not use Blair as the sub. We need his manic pressure to set the tone early in the game that we are going to absolutely smash them up. Ball will be a walk up so perhaps it has to be JT. If it is, the poor bloke must be pulling his hair out |

Goldsack was the substitute in this game last season. _________________ JC Hartley |

This "manic pressure" Blair applies is vastly overstated IMO.
With players lining up to get in this team I'm sure most would be capable or prepared to provide the same so called manic pressure to stay in it.
Difference is the others would have a greater upside than Blair in other areas as well. _________________ He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD! |

No, I disagree. I think you can't underestimate the kind of pressure that he applies that results in turnovers. He's playing a specific role for Bucks imo. Smash at the packs, tackle the opposition and get the ball out to the class like Pendles, Beams, Sidey and co. While he may not be clocking over possessions, he's possibly creating 10 to 20 for the others. And the type who can bob up and kick a couple of goals. _________________ Billy Picken, the great No. 25 in the sky! |

I would've liked Brown to come in for a bit more experience but I can understand why they've made no change.
I think Blair should be the sub. I'm a fan but I can't think of a better option. Thomas perhaps but he needs more game time and you couldn't have Ball doing it again. _________________ Formally frankiboy and FrankieGoesToCollingwood. |

Actually, maybe Langdon as sub? Or does that leave our defence a little thin? Geezus, glad I'm not making the decisions! _________________ Formally frankiboy and FrankieGoesToCollingwood. |

50/1 Dave .... I'll be having a dabble on Mr Beams @ 5/1 with a little on Mr Cloke @ 16/1, think he may have a bit of a day out tomorrow. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

If Hoover takes Cloke, Cloke will have the medal. Cloke kills Hooker every time. Carlisle or Hurley will need to take him. |

Yet only 3 tackles and one 1%.
Sounds like a worthless stat to me tbh. _________________ He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD! |
