Fantastic news - we have a lot of competition for places brewing in the team - reminds me of 2010 a little with the young guys knocking on the door.

I am thinking Adams is likely to take Ball's spot by the end of the year... although Thomas is probably also in the mix!

Adams should certainly come in ... but who the hell do you leave out? I can't think of a single player from the Norf game who you could sensibly drop. At least not so far, I'm only up to the second quarter on the replay. I suppose Blair is the weakest, but he was still doing his bit.

If you want to be really harsh, maybe Langdon? The kid has just been off the pace a little bit the last two weeks, a few runs in the 2's might do him the world of good.

But yeah, Adams, Brown and Dwyer all could come in, but who goes out?

Blair was better this week.

Of course this doesn't mean he won't be dropped anyway.

I doubt Adams will be asked to play many VFL games.

I agree with Dave that his performance this week demonstrates a good attitude

Blair puts in one good game every three weeks, on average. It's a bit harsh to drop him, but look at it this way: what can Blair bring to our game, on a good day, that Adams doesn't do too, and do just as well? Ans: nothing much. And what does Adams bring that Blair can't provide? About 10 more possessions every match. Simply, with Adams in and Blair out, we would be a one-goal-better side, and that's a difference well worth having.
