I think we may be reaching the point of selecting blokes who are "available" Baggers.  Wink

Polson should be persevered with.  I reckon he shows a bit of spirit and running around in the NBs won’t help him to cope with AFL pace and pressure.

Bolts was quite expansive about selecting Harry McKay and form in the NBs wasn’t really a huge factor.  Consistency and effort on the training track was.  However, Fraser’s assessment of Casboult and LeBois was positive (not that he is ever overly critical of his players).

Perhaps Bolts would just prefer to see Levi taking ruck contests in preference to Kennedy, Cripps and Charlie ... I certainly would  Smile

If LeBois gets a game, can I have one too?
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Exactly what i was going to say.

Who is 'available' and NOT included in the 25 man squad? Maybe a handful??

To say we are due for a debutant to tear it up in a game is an understatement. I hope LeBois does but I doubt he will. You never know, he is playing for his AFL life I would have thought. Good luck if you get in the 22.
2017-16th
2018-Wooden Spoon
2019-16th
2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

Think Le Bois has only just returned from a long injury break. Hard to see him playing unless they're just looking to give him a taste of senior experience.

A last ditch effort to see if he demands a spot on the list next year.

Which he doesn't....and he won't get a game anyway.

He's played about eight VFL games in two years,  and probably finished maybe 4 of those uninjured.  He won't play.

Agree....ins will be Lobbe and Wright IMO......
LeBois has done nothing to earn a spot...can remember when Gary Buckenara lauded him as the best in his draft year.......been disappointing with injury and form.
