Some more thoughts from the 'Pros'

[ElwoodBlues1]

SPS still managed 6 disposals and two tackles in a bout a quarter and a half of playing time. Last year showed us that he doesn't need a lot of pre-season time to get ready for the season.

Dow plays ahead of Lamb easily for mine. Lamb shouldn't get a game unless we have substantial injuries. I think there's room for both Garlett and Dow though as Dow will play more through the middle.

Also think we'll get games into McKay.

Garlett is very lightly built, I think he is a horses for courses player and wont enjoy the extra physicality of the game when its wet in particular...I think Lamb and Dow will both play round 1, both played the JLT games and both had their moments.
As I have said before I think the coach likes Lamb for his application when given a role on a player and this will get him games, there has been a big investment in Dow being taken at pick 3 and he will play most games this season apart from a few where he is managed IMO. He needs to play on the best players and learn the game at senior level, think its a waste of time playing him the VFL apart from giving him a break.
Harry is another who needs senior footy to fastrack him rather than cruising in the VFL....
