Is there a spot now?I think Paddy can play. Just not sure he can play how we play.
Having said that with Houli approaching the end there's a spot for the taking. Let's see if he or Eggs (or someone else) can grab it.

DLTD Grimes Flossy Balta Broad Baker Short.
If we go another small such as Naish then we,re too small. Less flexibility and unable to release Dave or Noah into 2nd ruck.
Poor bugger missed a year of development last year, along with a few of the others.Worried for Naishy.
Reckon that Bakes has taken Bach,s spot. More up the ground, attacking.Dimma seems to think that defensive lineup is a bit tall. It works when we don't have two rucks though.
Maybe Dimma was being tactful instead of using the word receiver.Dimma’s words were telling. He is accumulator and doesn’t fit the way we play. Maybe with the new rules he will, who knows.
I reckon if you put him in a high possession team he would do really well and he kicks the ball so well.
Put him in Melbourne, Hawthorn or Collingwood and he would be fine. He’s as good as plenty in those teams.
Would have been the perfect game for Naishy. Wide open MCG sized pitch with I suspect not as much pressure as a proper game. Well done , but must do it in the heat of battle with hardened bodies smashing him. I keep going back to the game against the Giants in Sydney last year where he was just not competitive against real hardened players. He needs to step up this part of his game or there is no spot in the team for him.looking like he had a ripper game today at the hanger
Unfortunately that’s the harsh reality for young Naishy.Would have been the perfect game for Naishy. Wide open MCG sized pitch with I suspect not as much pressure as a proper game.

Like-for-like with Egg. I really don't trust him based on the little I've seen in the pre-season matches.
Does Naish come in to calculations? The more open style could really suit a player with his foot skills.
We need better kicks in the 22 & Paddy has a skill set that may just suit. If not then papers are stamped.

His foot skills are totally overrated.
He’s average on most fronts. A modern day Tom Roach and not much else.
Tend to agree. Haven’t seen that much from him that excites me to be honest. His time is now though - we need some pace and flair...he has been in the system long enough.
Watched the VFL live feed and thought Naish looked the most likely AFL standard for a call up.
Think he is also one of those players that play better with better players around him.
