Yes Jim I think a couple of others will play midfield - at least one of the amigos and Gibbs - for some of the time anyway.

Why is Bootsma in ahead of McInnes?

Because Mick thinks Bootsma is his new Toovey.... ;) and Mick loves pace out of the backline. I'm a McInnes fan and think he should be in the team
learning the trade, applies himself well and has some attitude which I like.

He'll be on the trade table now

Yep, it's starting to look that way for sure. He'll probably be shopped around at least.

I think he's past the learning to kick stage - that usually happens somewhere between 2 and 15

Lucas is unlucky...didnt think he was too bad as the sub and contested better than some of his mates when he came on. I dont call that great selection work at all.

Robbo is one of Mick s whipping boys and I reckon is on shaky ground in terms of his future...

Robbo has his problems but is he a worse option than Eddie?

Eddies efforts have been putrid, stick Robbo in the forward line, at least he'll get involved.

There was a particularly poor effort on the half back flank infront of me, not as bad as some of Yarran's stuff though but you start as sub, then you have to earn back a spot or you're gone.

McInnes should be in our starting 22 each week.  Can't understand why Graham wasn't named... season is over, why not reward a kid for decent form when others have packed up for the year.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Agree about Eddie, he has been well off his game this year and definitely needs to pull his socks up (as well as his shorts). Having said that he does have a massive upside if he can do that - much more than say Robbo who lacks skill, finesse and smarts IMO. He makes up a little bit for that with his hard at it approach - but that's not good enough for AFL level in my book. Lucas looked ordinary last week as well.
MM is probably playing the selection percentages and he obviously sees more chance of Eddie coming good than Robbo or Lucas for instance.

Read somewhere - maybe on here - that MM does not like to throw first year players into the couldron, as a matter of policy. That would explain Graham's non-selection.

Eddie named Ruck Rover.   Who said Mick doesn't have a sense of humour.
