        For all those advocating Mitchell, haven't seen them come up with a name on who goes out for him.

          And never do drugs.

            That's Horse's problem.
            I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
            We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

              Exactly the problem. I still say he has to displace bird. And that's gonna be very tough

                Towers, Laidler, Shaw, Reid, Biggs and Goodes are all possible candidates depending on opposition match-ups.

                No insult to the performance of those players but we may face a team (namely Fremantle) where ball extraction from the middle is critical, especially when we're likely to be smashed in hit-outs.

                  I don't mind sticking my neck out and saying Mitchell is more like Diesel than anyone else I've seen. How Longmire fits him into the top 22 is his problem. But a fit Mitchell must play.

                    Reid's a late out - Towers in.

                    Thought it would have been an ideal chance to blood Nankervis....

                      Laidler is a sub.

                        I thought Nankervis would get a run if Reid went out. Hopefully Reid will be ok next week - any reason given yet for Reid out ?

                          Sore hip, should be OK next week.

                            Blakey on 3AW said sore hip. They thought he would be ok for today but still sore but should be ok for next week.

                              I said earlier in the week Reid would b a late out. But yes. I too would have played. Nankervis.

                              I suspect the coaches are thinking that nanka is no chance of playing finals so may as well get as much game time into towers who is an outside chance of playing finals if injuries dictated it.

                                Quickest team of the year. The ins - Shaw, Smith and Mitchell in combination are quicker than Kennedy, Bird and Reid. It will be interesting to see how things work.
