Surprise surprise on both counts :P

Would like to see JKH get a full game soon though :(

I swear somebody said they were fairly sure JKH would get a full game. I laughed and disagreed.

I think it was tbag.  :P

I said it too. Its absolutely ridiculous to make a young kid the sub 3 weeks in a row. Coaches dont like doing that even with senior players as they actually lose match fitness so they either drop them to the VFL so they get a full game or play them for a full game in the senior side. Even with Roos there Melbourne is still being run like a basket case

Ricochet

Kinda disagree Quinn. There are just as much importance and tactics involved in picking the sub as anything else on game day. Roos is there to win games and if that means the JKH is best suited to that role, that's where they will play him.

Expecting Tyson to cop some extra attention from his old teamates

The problem with your statement Quinn is JKH hasn't developed match fitness yet. Not easy to go from juniors straight to AFL.

The problem might even be that JKH doesn't have the tank to run out a full game. Also VFL is nothing compared to AFL match wise. 2 quarters in the AFL is like a full game at VFL level according to a secret source.

Yeah, gotta agree with Ric here.

JKH might just be a guy Roos sees as suited to the sub role for the time being. Imo, he is as well. Can really provide some memorable moments and bring a bit of x-factor and life after taking off the vest.

I think JKH has been good so far after coming on as sub. As fantasy coaches, we mightn't like it too much. But I think his JS is still pretty solid, it's really just that he is a good vest candidate.
