Surely Hawthorn have to play their better young players? Clarko is a campaigner with the rookies in SC though.

Better than who?
Agree there's massive holes in the hawks side but a forward usually only gets a shot at senior level if there's a spot for them.

I meant their better young players generally, rather anyone specific. ie "they need to play the kids"

Which would be good for SC coaches. Hopefully Downie, DGB, and Maginness get decent runs in the side.
 
$123K Ruck Rookie
Fellow ruck Lloyd Meek is one of those players that Darcy expects to take a big step forward this season.

The 203cm, 111kg big man is yet to make his debut after three seasons on Fremantle’s list.

‘Lloyd’s going really well at the moment,” Darcy said.

“This time last pre-season, he was coming back from surgery on his foot so this is the first full pre-season he’s had.

“He’s put on a bit of size, he’s looking really strong. He’s out there and he’s competing really well, which is good to see.”

Some of Collingwood's best young talent are set to soar in 2021, Isaac Quaynor and Will Kelly are at full fitness as the pre-season regime is in full force.

“So far it’s actually been really good. We’ve had some solid training sessions out on the track, a few of the boys are looking really strong and have come back in good nick,” Quaynor said.

Kelly debut for the Magpies in round six against Hawthorn last season, that was all fans got to see of the promising forward after going down with a sickening elbow injury.

With surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation program under his belt, Kelly is hitting his straps with pre-season games one month away.

“Body is feeling great. Over summer I was able to put in a fair bit of work to get myself feeling strong and fit again… the first few months of pre-season have been really good,” Kelly said.

The Magpie Army have sent in their questions for the pair. See below.

@JohnnyGoring - Kelly: Are you looking forward to playing against your brother Jake this season?
  • "It would be a pretty surreal moment. I think firstly I need to focus on getting into the team and start off with the first few games. If I could get a chance to line-up against him that would be pretty awesome."
@JohnnyGoring - Quaynor: Do you have aspirations to play in the midfield?
  • "I think definitely. Everyone always wants to move up the ground and get a bit more involved in the play, I guess. At the moment, I'm really enjoying myself down at halfback... definitely in the years to come."
@AhmadHazim - Both: Who is the funniest new recruit?
  • Quaynor: "Isaac Chugg has been pretty funny. He's vomited a few of times during the training sessions, that was pretty funny. He seems like a pretty interesting blome, so far so good with him."

  • Kelly: "Definitely Chuggy."
@MartyPask - Kelly: Is it true Isaac has up to 50 bottles of cologne and has his barber in his favourites call list?
  • "That's 100% true. Probably more than 50 and he's got his barber on speed dial."
@Melsa5 - Both: What's the best advice you could give a new draftee?
  • "Probably open your minds up and really chat with the older boys, try learn as much as you can in the first few months. Honestly, if you play a game or you don't in your first year or so, it's not a big deal. It's a whole experience is about learning as much as you can to prepare yourself for the next few years to come. If you do manage to get the opportunity to play a game, it's a great reward for some hard effort."
@LachieMeloni - Both: If you had to pick one teammate to have on your team for the rest of your career, who would it be?
  • Quaynor: "Brayden Maynard. He's a tough nut, probably doesn't get the credit he deserves and he's a funny bloke."
  • Kelly: "Can't go past Scott Pendlebury. He's a great captain, not only that, he's an incredible player with what he can do on the field."
@MariaScott - Quaynor: What do you see as your greatest challenge this season?
  • "At the moment, the unknown with COVID. There could be the potential talks about another hub, who knows. You have to take it week by week and we had last year to learn from and I think we'll go into 2021 full of experience and pretty optimistic."
@JamesDillon - Kelly: How many kilograms have you put on over the summer?
  • "Only one or two kilos. I was in the gym four-five days a week."

Wait ... He's put on size??? Blokes 111kgs now. Heaviest player in the league or is that hefty mantle still held by Preussy. This dude looks scary, also I love his name. Meek lol.
 
Any ruck rookies who could play round 1? Could maybe put Treacy up forward if there's a ruck rookie who looks better than a forward one and then do some dpp magic to sort it all out.

Comben was the one but sadly he won’t be fit.

Tom Fullarton (R/F 128k) if JoeD isn't quite up for relief ruck duties in the early part of the season?

Have not herd much on the expensive rookies.

Little bit on Campbell but sounds like an unattractive forward position. DGB threw up in their time trial. Nada on JUH. Not much on Phillips either. Cox did very well in the Bombers time trial.

What about Powell.?

Cunnington fit and ready aswell.?
Click to expand...
Cunnington fit and back training.
Not sure on powell. Isn't injured or anything but body a little smaller than say a phillips or even lazzaro.
Could take a little longer to get a chance in the seniors than others but should happen at some point.
Eddie ford could get a shot early too but contrary to Big Footy opinion there really isn't a lot of space open in the best 22 and the senior squad is somewhat locked in atm.
Obviously I'm not on the coaching staff so not sure what they're thinking I can just say what I see when I watch them training/news.

Phillips has been doing well this preseason. I'm expecting him to play 22+ barring injury.

22+ eh?

I'm extremely confident Phillips won't play more than 22 games this year unless there's a newly instituted midseason trade period.

It's more likely than the 22+ being due to North playing finals.
