    100 weeks too late but hey, he might make a good Captain (in the army).

    Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.

      50 touches and a lazy 5 should get you a game. Very very lucky Dan, but good luck mate.

Sure we hope that he gets back his mojo but again we have a player who gets a game on something other than form.

        I didn't think Bevan was our worst last week and certainly I have not been one of his biggest fans, but strewth he was head and shoulders above what was a miserable Malceski last week. How he can hold his position on the insipid form he has displayed this season is beyond my comprehension. I am staggered at my own astonishment that he has kept his place.
        Agree, Monty, or retaining Bevo, would seem a better option. Must be the 'last chance saloon' for Mal if he doesn't commit to the contest this week. I sincerely hope he can miraculously turn it around, he can be so damaging with his kicking when on song. But all in all it's just refreshing to see, what appears on paper to be, a change of philosophy, with 3 taggers out. We might not win, but all of a sudden we look unpredictable, and I'm really looking forward to watching this one.
        Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

          I'm not, and I'm surprised there are so many who agree with this sentiment.

          The upside for Mal is approximately a million times greater than that of Bevan. If the philosophy is to eventually get the best team we have on the park - then the selection makes perfect sense.

          Let's hope he comes good.

          Smith and Jack.

                          Agree fully with your comment.

                          Roos uses Bevan & Crouch to mind the opposition small forwards and the problem is they haven't done the job too well at all in recent weeks.

                          They are too slow and their turnovers are costly.

                          Eddie Betts would be far too quick for the both of them.

                          We'll be better off using a combination of Smith, Jack and Shaw.

                          Maybe they should try grooming players like Thornton pr Brabazon to play the back pocket on the small forwards.

                            This is the best team we have finially starting to pick on form no albett, crouch and buchannan dont tell me the premiership credits have run out.

                            Am really looking forward to see what hanners can do from all reports he is an absolute gun.

                                When I first raised the qn, I did have the great #4 in mind, but you've answered the the qn.
