Garcia should start, he and Windhager and hopefully Owens should grow into a strong midfield group.

Garcia, Wilson and Windhager all look like uber-competitive types. Hate losing and hate being beaten in a contest.

Good to have some of that white line fever intensity in there. It would inspire everyone including senior players to see the drive of Garcia to win the ball

No.

Can't believe this thread.
He will have some bad games....so what....still a young developing forward doing a good job.

Max would sit very comfortably in the best forwards in the competition.
He needs to lead more, but elite marking and work of the deck put him right up there.
Still improving.

Apparently he covered 15 km in the game, equal highest.

Looks to have a bit of a form dip, but he'll be back.

Brad Crouch has been terrific since coming across, no reason he can't keep going for another 2 years.

Of those named, LDU would be worth throwing the kitchen sink at.

Slightly surprised to see him ahead of Garcia, who is a genuine mid as opposed to a HBF.
Not sure he adds to the rotations given we already have Stocker on the bench.
But always exciting to see some new talent.
He is bound to start as a Sub.

This is from the ABC live blog below. The reporter called the late hit 'agricultural' How many times can Tom Lynch plough through opposition players without getting suspended? Richmond have the ball in defence in the final seconds, but Zac Butters marks on the wing - and Tom Lynch is a bit agricult...

At least as bad as Webster's hit.
Knocked him out, so what if the ball was in the area....he wasn't going for it, and the Swans player was facing the other way.

Very interested to see how this is adjudicated

FMD, a week for that and nothing for Maynard retiring Brayshaw???

Bugger.
Terrible luck.
He was electric for us.
Haven't had that for a while.

Barely saw DeGoey all night, great work Seb.

What happened?

If Crouch wasn't fit for last match, why was he selected?

Good to see Jones and Sincs back.

Garcia a better option for Sub.

His second half was good, and finished the game sprinting from one end to the other. Super fit.

Spot on

Agree with OP You can't just play him on potential. Should have been dropped last year. If we're worried about dropping him before he re-signs, than that shows weakness at selection. Should not be in the middle rotation yet, HFF is his go. Maybe 5 mins on the ball once he has shown he can compete. H...

Why is it so hard to play Sharman as a forward???

Wow! Playing the kids , for sure.
Great first round side. Very exciting.

Ross determined to work with the emerging talent with an eye to 2026 Flag.
