Training Preseason 2022/23 Talk & Media/Social Media etc.

[cleanhands]

I might get interested when I've actually seen the 2 pre-season games against Freo and WCE because it appears there will be no coverage available of the intraclub trial game. Pretty sure McHenry has always been ahead of Murphy in the pecking order re selection and IMO neither have really been played to their strengths anyhow. Neither are small forwards IMO, Murphy is an inside mid/small defender and McHenry an outside mid/winger where his exceptional tank can be best utilised..

I realise this off season seems to have been going forever but this board is looking more like a Survivor tribal council than normal- let's all take a breath and forgive and forget, time to woah back on the personal attacks - we all follow the Crows and even though we all have different views we all want the same thing - McHenry to play SANFL, haha nah - we want our players to reach potential and the AFC to succeed.

Also can anyone update me on who you all used to be, because I can't keep up with the confrontations and the history behind them, thanks.

assume everyone is Alex

Have you posted your R1 team anywhere?

 

[FR0GGY]

Leave me out of this thanks

Bone confirmed

 

[GreyCrow]

Are the club following the usual - last 20 years - protocol of giving Sloane 1 year to recover or will he be in the mix for Round 1

 

[Mutineer]

No

I''ll wait until I've actually seen them play this season i.e Freo and WCE and disapointingly it appears there is no streaming of the intraclub Friday.

Training reports are fine but I have question marks over some players at this point. i.e. Wayne Milera, Luke Pedlar, Lachie Gollant etc

 

[Scorpus]

I'm very interested to see how our midfield goes against Fremantle's in the trial

Both clubs drafted the upcoming core of their midfield in the same drafts

Smart.

So much easier to be correct with the benefit of hindsight!!!

Injuries will make it easier

Talking of survivor, well done to those who helped ensure Port were 1st to go.

Next I reckon we load up on Richmond for 2017....

Well done all as going to plan as we have succeeded taking out Port then Richmond.

We need to look to take out the Hugh supporter clubs.

So thinking Collingwood next.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

A very good question

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

You’re running out of teams to support

He just comes on here to whinge about all the teams he has given up following.

Not many teams around which have a perfect record lol.

 

[GrommoT]

Now for something truly divisive to discuss.... Nankervis no longer has the ratty.

Dark side gone to he has!

 

[CromradeCromulent]

Not bad really, you know, for the herald sun.

Only changes I'd make are:
Worrell for Michalanney if fit
Dawson on the wing for Sloane, Jones in Dawson's HB spot and Sloane as sub
As much as I'd love Thilthorpe and Himmelberg instead of Rob that isn't realistic for round 1

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Are the club following the usual - last 20 years - protocol of giving Sloane 1 year to recover or will he be in the mix for Round 1

Million dollar question

Also what about trials ? Surely he needs to play a trial to be right for round 1 ?

the scary thing is on paper i cant see us beating gws (again).

 

[feenix67]

With berry out Crouch came into probables team and was impressive extracting ball from contest and using his hands in offensive manner

Like this?

That best 22 was done by Simeon Thomas-Wilson who works for the 'Tiser, so probably a more knowledgeable best 22 than what we'd normally get given he's spent time at training through the PS watching the team.

 

[beartoo]

Worrell and Doedee have no bearing on Dawson being on the half back line. It's Hamill, Smith, Jones, Sholl, Hinge etc.

It's been the standard build for a decade + to build an outside group defence out and whilst that group ranges from average-garbage, Dawson is going to be in defense. Really, it likely requires one of them to overtake Dawson to shift that paradigm.

Rankine is truly the great white hope.

Great indigenous hope?

[Golumless]

Oh, of course it does have an impact .....how many talls versus runners are you having in DEF

You try and fit all of Smith, Milera, Pistol, Butts, Murray, Worrell, Doedee into that DEF

Teams this year are looking at run out of DEF ....hence why Milera is going back

Of course they are. They've been looking to do that for a very long time. Thus you've hit on why it's very unlikely Dawson is moved. Ultimately, it's where a teams best outside player plays with wings being more for the 2-3 guys on the depth chart (or 3-4 if you're stacked with outside talent).

You don't fit all of them is the short answer.

You know, I didn't think about it from that angle at all.

 

[Dangerousfield]

If we can't beat GWS who finished 16th last season and lost Taranto, Hopper, Hill, Bruhn then we are already falling behind after round one :-(

We must beat the low on the table teams.

I'm very interested to see how our midfield goes against Fremantle's in the trial

Both clubs drafted the upcoming core of their midfield in the same drafts

we did?

 

[Mutineer]

we did?

Yeah I thought that a bit odd too...Serong and O'Driscoll really the only ones likely to play that applies to?

 

[Scorpus]

we did?

Yes.
