    Hope they go with Mills v The Bont.

    Two brilliant footballers playing on each other. Both strong in the air and courageous.

    They put Mills on The Bont last year after The Bont had destroyed us in the 1st half. Mills did really well last year doing that job on The Bont.

    I think The Bont is just about the best footballer in the AFL. Will take that mantle from Dusty.

    I’m hoping in future years that you wil see a couple of Bont v Chad match ups. Will be amazing too watch.

        The injury gods have been relatively kind to us this year! Only two of that list would be likely to make our current best team in the Chad and Reid. Campbell will down the track of course. Melican? Maybe?

          Maybe the full injury list but Ling and Sheather were presumably injured and have not appeared on the list and Ronke missed the VFL last weekend.

            I really like the idea of bringing Reid back and playing him in defence, keeping Amartey in. But the big question is who do you bring Reid in for if he's playing as a defender?

                We are really missing Melican - hope we see him back on the field soon.
                He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                  If Melican is our backline's saviour then I'm really worried

                      Talk of playing Reid down back is folly. He has never played KPD so why would he been any good at it now? It is a very difficult role and requires more than just being tall. The only time he has played down back has been as a spare man and so has never been accountable as a defender.

                        I agree it's a bit of a risk but based off what I've seen I'd be happy for us to give it a go. McCartin was thrown back with little experience mid year last year to great success (at least initially)

                            He doesn’t deserve to be dropped

                              Yes I like that idea too but as you say who goes out? Bit unfair to drop Blakey after last week but he seems the most likely one.

                                No way Blakey's getting dropped after his performance on Sunday. The MC will want him to build on that. I think Reid, if fit to play, will play reserves as they are so weakened anyway and he will give them a boost. I think the 1st's will be unchanged as reward for such a complete team effort.
