Sorry for the intrusion. Do people think this is the year that Xerri takes over? Or still gonna be stuck behind goldy.

Yes, people do think that. But they're wrong.

Yes start him as R1 in SuperCoach

Keep this on the down-low, but he’s being set for a big year on the wing. He’s taken his fitness to another level so expect 25+ touches at 90% efficiency, 8 marks and four or five tackles per game. Think Isaac Smith but taller..

You would be mad not to lock him into your Supercoach side for all 22 games plus finals.

I'll give you a serious answer. At this stage, Goldy is starting as the primary ruck, but Xerri has trained really well this off-season and should be in contention if Goldy's form drops.

Barring injury or Goldy falling off the football cliff, agree completely.

You mean to say he won’t start the season as the 3rd ruck option?

Hamish Free will Combo Ruck with Xerri this season at some point.

What team took you?

 

[Event Horizon]

It's mostly been a feel-good preseason with everyone doing well and plenty of reasons to be positive for the start of the season (TT aside obviously). But at what point is the continual absence of Logue and Corr from the main group and match sim become an issue? Yes, they aren't seriously injured and are doing a lot on the track, but aren't in the main group and therefore aren't participating in drills and match play that allows players to gel with one another. We are now at the point where the first practice match is basically 3 weeks away and 2 out of our 3 tall defenders haven't trained together yet

Yeah, not ideal.

Logue will be such a handy inclusion when he comes in though.
That’s something I’m looking forward to this season.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Logue was in full training yesterday and looked very good. His kicking in a few end-to-end drills stood out.

 

[Roo Beauty]

As for Corr, still in rehab but Dawson has been so impressive this preseason that there’s a chance he would win the Round 1 spot if both were fit anyway.

 

[Val Keating]

ferball you at training??

I wonder what Micks thoughts are of our training standards now, he told a mate of mine last year that “It was the worst he’d seen at an AFL club“.

 

[shintemaster]

You mean to say he won’t start the season as the 3rd ruck option?

Without watching a lick of pre season. As it stands today for mine:

Preferred likely setup:
Goldy primary ruck
Comben forward (minimal ruck relief)
Xerri / CCJ a coin toss depending on how each of the latter are going.

If Goldy is injured Xerri is the only primary option IMO, would need more relief from CCJ though.

None of the above includes whatisname from WA because I haven't seen him fart in anger but he would have a fair shake at it if he had form. None of the others are even close to a lock at the moment. All as of today, who knows what they will show this pre season...

He's a huge in for us. A full season out of him and McKay literally is like a brand new backline base.

 

[osaka mick]

So if he is fwd then assuming Curtis souv z chom are locks... and prob sheez... you are going to play jz before stepho or Taylor?
Or the resting mid?
