VFL 2017: Rd 5: Northern Blues vs Casey

[Thryleon]

Wouldn't give up on Armfield for 2017 yet, but the writing is on the wall longer term.

Agree about McKay, slowly slowly is my preferred option, Carlton have cooked too many talls through desperation and over-exuberance. For this reason I'd love to see Jones and Jaksch getting some last chance options, they are more than useful to bridge a gap while McKay gets his AFL body.

I think hes done LP.

He might get a Andrew Walker match later in the year, but his body is succumbing to injury and stick a fork in him at AFL level.

We need to acid test a few players in the second half of the season, and I wouldn't want to do it with more than one or two per match meaning he is effectively finished, and like townsendcalling has mentioned, his next match is likely to be his last one for the Navy Blue seniors, which is a pity but its where we are at as a football club.

I like Army.  He is a good clubman, loves the place, and is generally a positive influence at our footy club, and I would absolutely love the idea of the Northern Blues having Armfield run around for them next season, whilst we mentor him into a coaching role post AFL.
