Need a tall down back this week. So lets promote the Yank to save our bacon!

NO, how about the young beanpole Witts, our future Sandilands. ?

Tarrant will be back...

Witts is setting them on fire. The yank should be praised for how he has embraced the game, but do not believe he is AFL level.

We need to find someone to replace Swan. More than likely Seedsman will come in, but I have heard big things about Daniel Farmer is he ready to be promoted from Rookie List?

Only place he should go is to a lower leauge and learn the game.

Might as well put me in the side as well if you want that hack! He's been here three years and still doesn't know the game - would be lucky to get a run in any other VFL side.

not one of the better suggestions going around.

still need another tall and Taz may need another run in the VFL.
So we are up against a very tall forward line this week with maybe 3 of our tall backs out! So how are we going to find 1 or 2 tall backs! Woods??? , Goldy???? Well, the question is who then!!!!

Tarrant will come in for Reid and reckon from what I saw on Saturday that Tom Young may get the gong. Seeds an and Ugle are way too light on to play against Adelaide.

Sounds good to me, don't know why everyone hates him so much

Kurt Tippett says "hello".

Why play McNamara when Tarrant is likely to be available? And if Tarrant doesn't play possibly the backline should be re-organised to increase its running power rather than play an unready tall.

Shae is having a decent year so far and I am certain he would give it one hell of a crack if he gets a shot at AFL level.

He is a very big lad and patience is required as they take longer to develope. But he is still showing improvement and further potential.

I don't think making Shae debut against a red hot Adelaide at Footy Park is going to do anyone any good though.

Nothing personal towards Shae but would rather see Blair and Ugle running around in defence Human Centipede style than play him at this point in time. Still a long long way from it, and very unlikely to make it imo.
