Well he did run out of steam a bit last year. Probably suit him to only play 10-12 games this season.

Jeffery has converted to the main team (if you go off the socials) (Red guernsey)
Not a Suns ITK but its fair to pressume that any training session now will be Red & Blue guernsey as they have finished "Preseason" and gone into match sim/regular season mode now.

Yeah i did see that, so was Humphrey, Sexton & Berry. InterestingRosas was a blue guernsey yesterday
Casboult, King, Chol, Jeffrey, Lukosius, Holman // Davies, Swallow, Flanders maybe the case?

Few guys will be keen to have a good couple of trials.

Keen to see how Davies progresses as a forward.
If we can get these 'midfielders' like Davies, Flanders and Swallow actually contributing up forward, will make a massive difference.
Have seen glimpses with Davies.
8 goals in 15 games last year with good forward 50 tackling.
Remember that 55m set shot in the rain after the siren during last years preseason?
If we can get someone who can pressure and tackle, take a mark, kick a few goals, pinch hit in the midfield - it's pretty valuable.
Sam Powell-Pepper finished 5th in Ports BNF last year and would be a good on field role model.

Agree, Davies is probably the most ripped bloke at the club, wouldn't wanna be hit by him.
He just needs to get involved more, still has low time on ground. Hoping for a breakout!

As mentioned, one of the key issues the team faces is an abundance of tall forwards and a lack of tall defenders. The team has struggled to find suitable players to fill this backline void, resulting in losses and inconsistent performance last year. A possible solution is Levi Casboult. Yes, Casboult is a tall forward but has experience playing as a defender. His transformation from a key forward to an interceptor across half-back was pivotal in his career-best season at Carlton in 2020. His marking ability could make him suitable to fill the Suns' lack of tall defenders when we play teams with three tall forwards or teams with 200cm forwards. This also relieves the forward line of too many talls.
When we play the taller teams, why not play him as a 200cm utility in the forward line 30%, bench 25%, ruck 15%, and backline 30%? If he was fresh off the bench, he could become a headache for opposition coaches to combat. He would only need to play 10-15 games for the season in a role like this.

I would back in Casboult on a key defensive role but it would be a match up based to free up a Sam Collins.
Players like; Fogarty, Walker, Mihocek, Wright, Hawkins, Gawn (Fwd Rotation), Dixon & Lynch. The slower/monster types
Wasn’t Dew just blabbering the other day about wish they went harder to bring in Casbault earlier.
Need him to crash packs and take the gorilla etc.
Doesn’t sound like Dew wants him in defence or playing 2s

Could be a puff piece, give Levi confidence he's not just depth and he's good enough to play with Chol, King & Luko.
No knee strapping too, looking real fit and healthy. Could play anywhere

I think what will take Lukosius to the next level is his goal kicking. At the moment he isn't reaching the potential in this area but I think he becomes a player who regularly scores goals from outside the arc. If he can it is a super dangerous forward line as defences will be getting back to stop king/ chol/ Jeffery and to have someone hovering around the 50m who can still score will be very hard to defend. I'm backing him in, I think he has a breakout year.
'Where I want to play': Jack of all trades finally set to lock down position
Jack Lukosius has been used in a variety of roles throughout his fledgling AFL career but is now set to join a 'potent' forward mix at the Sunswww.afl.com.au
From what I've seen online they look superb. Would love to train there and take a tour someday.

Let's smash the Dons first 
I know only an intraclub but he looked more comfortable and confident on friday floating around the 50m arc making leads running hard to the boundary line until the ball was dead and a couple nice set shots too.. we will see if he can convert this to real time games

A pseudo forward/wing role is definitely his best spot. You want him delivering the ball into the 50. Not being the kick before that.

A case in point is tomorrow afternoon's match simulation against Essendon; who can play on Peter Wright? He’s 203cm. Collins is 194. Surely, Casboult at 199cm would be the best big-bodied option we have.

Wright kicked 2.3 from 8 marks against us last year. Horrible day for Ballard & Collins. He was getting fed on a plate that day tho
It looks like Fiorini is only signed till the end of the season (at least according to Boswell).
