Another 30+. Cmon, Constable. Get your ass in the side.
I think at this point Dew need to get his marching orders for it to happen.
I think I read where Lemmens has a 2 week injury so this may be Constable’s big chance. Knowing the luck of supercoach this year Weller will be over whatever injury he had and slot straight back in to that half back position.
Dew quoted as saying Long will come in for Lemmens!
yeh, just too many options at hb for Constable to get a sniff. In the ressies he has gone back to playing midfield and there is a big queue for that position also. Can’t see him playing again.
Waiting for Bytel to get back in the St Kilda side. Right bye, right price. Even if the BE is not super appealing, a run of a few games is all that is needed. I am valuing a warm onfield body during the byes ahead of his short term cash generation.
Fahey does look like he is a chance soon. Just don’t like his bye – especially if I have to take Fleeton this week.
North Melbourne: Cooper Harvey
“He’s got a good body of work at VFL level. He’s progressing well. He’s not quite there yet, there’s a couple in front of him that are in the seniors. He’s doing everything right and as a first-year player that’s all you can do. He’s put his case forward to say he might be a couple of weeks down the track, or a month down the track. To kick five, you’ve got to do something right and he did.”
Brett Ratten
Hawthorn:
“Henry Hustwaite and Bailey Macdonald are probably the next two. They’ve gone from ‘oh we could play them if we had to’ to ‘yep, we could definitely play them’ and now it’s ‘we want to play them’, but they still have to earn their spot.”
Sam Mitchell
