Bevan in

[midaro]

Bevan's pretty aggressive and rough.
Might have been brought in to play on Goldspink.

Bevo was most effective last year when he was playing a exclusive tagging role on the opposition's best small forward but not so effective this year when they tried him out more in the mid-field.

Roos' ploy may be to play him on SOG when playing forward and release Crouch to play a more attacking midfield role.

Voguls or Schauble should be back next week if we win, as we need extra height against Saints.

[Legs Akimbo]

Maybe they need Vogels to help out in the reserves after last weekends close run thing

I love Bevan's aggression but doesn't he tend to give away frees?

I think you'll find that Hall and Kirk are our biggest culprits there. So, as with all things, its the other areas that must outweigh this part of Bevans game.

Hope he has a blinder though.

I feel sorry for Vogels, but isn't it great to have choices at this time of the year!

[floppinab]

sorry for Voges but totally stoked for Bevo, let's back him in, I really hope he takes this chance by the horns.

i would have thought mcveigh or moore might have been better additions than bevan. But time will tell.

Apparently Roosy thinks he's hard:

"Sydney coach Paul Roos conceded Vogels was "a bit stiff" to be dropped, but Bevan was being selected for his versatility.

"With Bevo's ability to play in different positions - forward, midfield and back - that's probably the main reason to bring him in," Roos said on Thursday morning.

...

With Sydney anticipating another hard-at-it tussle against Geelong, Roos admits Bevan is being selected partly for his courage and bullocking work around the packs.

"I think (that with) every game that's been played (during the finals) certainly the hardest team, or the team that can sustain the hardest for the longest, has been able to win.

"Certainly that's an edge that Bevo gives us. We know he's hard, we know he's hard, we know he tackles well and we know he can play in different positions. Certainly we think it's an area that he's going to help us out.

He may be hard, but he's not smart. He gets caught with the ball way more than most. And thats just in the 2's.

[Jeffers1984]

Moore would of been my inclusion if there was someone to be dropped but gee Voges is stiff as. Good luck to Bevo though, let's hope he's improved his awareness and his disposals in his long stint in the magoos.

[punter257]

yeah very interesting selection but i suppose roosy knows what he's going on about. good luck bevo and all the best tomorrow night.

Sounds like Bevan is in as back-up if WIllo and Ablett don't get through a full game, or at least to let them rest a little. I too hope he goes well, I really enjoyed watching him play last year and hope to see more of it. But having seen him play the last couple of weeks makes me think a few have been hardly done by. I'd say experience has played a part in the decision.

I was away for the finals last year. How is he as a finals player? Lifts or drops?
