Thought it was a great effort for 4 qtr's but ran out of legs. Thought it was a coincedance that it happened when the rain started coming down. I wonder how much was tiredness and how much was the rain effecting their foot hold on the ground.
NO Sidebottom, White, Elliott, Adams, Frost, Reid & Witts. That's a third of our best 22. I hope we put in our best 22 against the dogs so the team get a least one match together before home and away begins. Also MAC is now heading toward LTL so who will they promote Frost most likely...
I am tipping a 5-0 start..Adelaide is really the only danger (excuse the punn) game. The pies are young, strong, experienced, and HEALTHY (knock wood)
Brisbane (just isn't there yet, They have a good 1-9 but no 10-18 players to speak of..)
Adelaide (is the danger game but at least in Melbourne...
Realy interested in watching Cox go. I haven't heard a bad word about him from the team or threads..No way he'll be ready for AFL this year BUT can you imagine 211 CM's Forward/Ruck teaming with Witts at 208CM's... WOW...Apparently his vertical jump is enourmous as well. OMG..I Hope, I hope, I...
Gault will only get a chance if someone lands on long term injury list. Neither Caff or Shazz will go there. Both will be pushing for early selection with Shazz a chacne to play RD3 NAB. Lets not forget that Moore is there as is Grundy and Mason Cox is apparently coming on strong. I cann see...
If he Ramsay gets a chance it will be elsewhere. He has the skills and desire but there is just too much ahead of him on the depth chart. If isn't a KPP and Langdon you can see is taking the next step, Tooves is a proven winner and stopper, Williams has the speed and ball winning ability and...
This is a good opportunity to play our full fit best 22 and then give them the rest they need for rd 3 going into the full season. I would like to see Reid, Cloke, Pendles, Swan, Blair, and Moore if ready. White won't play because he got a corky in training. Joining those guys I would like to...
given the current midfield stock of Pendles, swan, greenwood, adams, sidebottom, fas, elliot, etc... and the need for a tall up forward I would go with Moore if I had to choose 1 or the other but I do like having both as both I can see being 200 gamers already...
In Defense: For his first hitout since shoulder injury, Brown played better as the game wore on, Taken early but then settled in, Langon looks fitter and ready to take on maxy's loose man role, Williams was ok should get better with more NAB games, in the mid field Grundy's ruck work also got...
The best thing I saw was not only the effort but the SPEED and ENDURANCE we missed last year and kicking was mostly on target. Those were three areas we really lacked last year. Varcoe looks dangerous with a precision kick, Great trade if he can stay on the field. Greenwood looked like a ball...
Not sure we'll win but really looking forwward to watching our 1-3 players. we have seven 1st round picks the last three years including Adam's. Time for these kids to pick it up..
I reckon Kennedy will be most improved as he had a procedure to correct his legs that will allow him to gain the endurance needed to run out a full four quarters
I don't think Reid going back or forward would depend on Moore as they are trying to put Keefe Forward to allow Reid to go back. I think it's more that Reid is best in defense and Buck's knows he needs another tall in the forward line, which is why I think Moore makes his debut early.
Was reading how Darcey is being groomed in the back line. not sure I agree with that. I understand versatility is important but with Reid, Brown, Keefe, and Frost back there as key bigs and at 200cm and his maturity I would be putting up forward day one.
