Bit surprised by Sheldrick over Roberts, mainly because of who else we’re missing at the coalface and Harry and Roberts on the bench equals eight defenders. But only mildly so given his scratch match last week was, well, scratchy. Otherwise, looks good.
It also suggests Heeney will spend plenty of time on ball.'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

Kind of saw the Sheldrick admission coming, given the choice seemed between he and Roberts and the latter played more and better in the Brisbane game.
He'd be disappointed; with the outs, he really should be in. But I'm in no position to say it's not deserved.Comment

Even though they play different positions, I can't believe Sheldrick is not playing ahead of Wicks. But then again there's probably another ten players asking a similar question.Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.Comment

The team positions are a furfee as there is no way Amartey is playing half forward, and Ollie at CHB. The side will of course be different when the game starts. I'm not sure where Amartey will be at the start but could be on the bench. I feel for Sheldrick but he has so much upside and is still young, so he will be in sooner than later. VFL side doesn't play until late March so many will not have the opportunity to impress or put pressure on those in the top 23Comment

We don't know he's ready right now. Longmire mentioned in a recent interview that Sheldrick had a bit of a groin issue around Christmas that slowed him down for a while. He simply might not have done quite enough work yet to warrant a spot in the senior team. That doesn't mean that the coaches don't think he's ready ability-wise, especially while we are thin in that area.Comment

The coaches obviously have longer memories than some on here.....before his injury last year, Roberts was looking quite at home in the team but that's a long time ago. Sheldrick was good late in the season but Roberts probably looked better pre-injury. I'm not surprised he's in and Sheldrick's not but maybe it may have been different had Gus not had the aforementioned niggle.Comment
