Well, he should be. Armo too if I was a selector. We need blokes who have a real dip and can get the ball.

We have a few too many passengers at the moment.

Couldn't play both Armo and Dunstan as would be the slowest mid field in history. Dunstan deserves another chance as has worked his way back into form .

I was surprised they kept Armo on the list however if his form warrants he should play however in the same way White and Hind have had to wait only when his position is up for change (inside mid will run all day just not fast)

They could actually play Armo in the back half. They did last year.

Or in the front half to scrap and bite to keep the ball in that zone for longer.( not Billy)

+1
Armo might not be quick, but his huge amount of experience means he would be able to marshall the backline,
he knows what spots to run to for intercepting, which players to get guys to pick up,
when our guys get the ball, make them do that switch over the other side at the correct times,
settle them and be like a full-time runner.
He would get at least 20-25 possies, and not being in the centre sauna, he would have time to lower the bloody eyes
and place the ball to advantage.

Is his ball use good enough for half back?
Pressure forward perhaps again speed a concern . Kent probably has that role at the moment and better overhead . But again form inconsistent so possible option

Kent had ONE good game against Cheeseboarders.
He normally gets less than 10 possies.
FFS, I reckon Armo would do much better

Few losses and people quickly forget just how poor Armo and Dunstan have been in the seniors. Not to mention how slow they are.

As in you can’t bring in both... ideally I would bring in neither to be honest but if he’s dominating VFL bring him in and then balance it out with speed to burn with Hind
