Get excited, just like we are with Marra. 20 Disposals 14 Marks?

Immediately! The problem with this 'scrape into finals in the last few games' strategy is we never get to blood the kids.

Give the fans something to be super excited about. And a player who is a super mark. Reckon he will be a superstar. Got a bit of controlled aggression about him that will mean he is more likely to succeed. Naughts, Marra, English and Darcy all on ground at same time. Yes please!!

I want us to think about his development first.

It's been a disappointing season and seeing him debut would be very exciting, but we got to make the call that's best long term.

Bevo seems to have managed Marra well and I am backing him in again.

Darcy is getting time playing down back, forward and in the ruck at VFL level and I think the experience will be beneficial after limited footy last year and starting VFL late.

Gives us something to watch in the VFL too

So if were to play, who does he replace?

I think he'll get a game if finals calculation go out the window.

Forward Ruck for mine. I wouldn't play him anywhere near our backline, forward in our side currently is a much softer landing.

He’s clunking them from everywhere. Got to come in

I’d imagine that would be the clubs thinking provided the internal metrics are where they think they need to be to debut

For sure they give him a run this week. We could do with the height against Freo. Could also do with someone who can take a grab and get the ball back.

I’d be happy to use the sub at three quarter time and sub him out with Cramp.

All depends upon how his foot is recovering from the stress fracture in the navicular bone. It was mentioned that Sam would be on a modified program for the 2022 season, and that playing at VFL level would make it easier to restrict his workload.

If his recovery has reached a point where he is no longer on a modified program, and his form in the VFL warrants a promotion to the senior side, then I would be giving him a game at AFL level before the season is over.

Otherwise, unleash him in 2023.
