Good point.
How many people, if you had to bet your house, dog or dingy or it, would say 4 points against GWS would be easier to get with Dunstan rather than Bytel in the team?
Fair dinkum, if it is just one game...March 21st. Dunstan or Bytel?

Good point.
Thanks teach, .
Probably Dunstan based on proven performance at the elite level and matchups against the GWS midfiled.shanegrambeau wrote: ↑Wed 10 Mar 2021 11:50pmGood point.

What we need is for him to make a compelling argument for selection when our best midfielders are in fact fit and firing. If he can't do that in 2021 then it will start to look like all the hype was just hype.
He has a real challenge ahead making it into the best 22, is he good enough is a question that will only be answered in about 10 to 20 weeks time.
Absolutely. I think the expectation is that he will become A grade almost from his first game but if he doesn't then all the signs are there that he could eventually be a best 22 player. That's still a fairly good achievement in the sport. I hope he is A grade becuase this list is still short a couple of stars.nostalgicsaint wrote: ↑Thu 11 Mar 2021 7:21amVortex wrote: ↑Wed 10 Mar 2021 1:41pm I think his best opportunity to crack into the side will be round 1 and 2 based on Dan and Brad sitting in the stands.

He is 20.
Roughly 6 to 7 years off the peak of his powers and he had a delayed start to his AFL career due to his back injury.
If all we see is glimpses in 21 that is enough for me, I think we'll see slightly more than that though.
No, not your profession, just you. You remind me of those teachers who, once a student dared to contradict them, would then look for opportunities to take cheap shots. They'd even create situations where they could exert their "power". Pathetic, really.
Yeah Pav my wife is a teacher & when we have teacher friends over & they start talking school I give them 1 warning keep talking school or I'm going to the pub & it usually works . I know they do a great job & there is no way I would or could be a teacher but yeah I know what you mean
what about coaches? In my experience coaches always get pigeonholed, and if they've coached professionally they are continually hit up to coach social games, Auskick, school games, etc.
Some get sort out because they have expertise. Some preach because they think they have expertise.samuraisaint wrote: ↑Fri 12 Mar 2021 9:16pmwhat about coaches?

Doctors get hassled at parties to offer advice, etc etc.
Off duty cops have to come to the aid of people on public transport.
Mechanics, can you help me with my car, she's playing up, etc etc.
Anyway, I reckon Bytel could be THE astute pick up of the last couple of seasons.
High bar there, as virtually no one would be
