[Dalions]

Yep.

Lincoln McCarthy, Joe Daniher, Cam Rayner.
Charlie Cameron, Eric Hipwood, Kai Lohmann. + Zac Bailey rotating through is a pretty potent forward set up IMO.

Also would offer more F50 defensive pressure, particularly if Cam can improve his endurance over the coming off season.

Every chance Lohmann gets a game this week if Bailey doesn’t get up.
And if McStay is to come out of the team now, I think it would be for Fort.
But I would love to see Lohmann get another go but I really don’t think it will be at the expense of McStay.

We could do that right now if we wanted to

I wish we would tbh.

Where is the 2nd ruckman that Fagan loves to play?

In the VFL?

 

[Nathan Barley]

I always thought we had to play 3 talls because we didn't have the back flankers and midfield suited to fast ball movement.

Kiddys addition has helped and its probably something we expect Wilmot to help with but I think we'll be required to slow ball movement for some time

I always figured the intention was to stretch opposition defence where our 3rd best tall forward would be much better than their 3rd tall back, giving us the opportunity to have our 3rd tall impact the game until the #1 or #2 back is shifted on to them and the new forward who gets the 3rd tall back gets to start having a field day. Having said that, when no space is made for the guy on the worst defender to lead into and/or all our talls and mid/small forwards all go into the same space and fly for the same ball.

Salary cap is tight I don't think we can recruit logue and a decent mid we'll have to choose one.

Wouldnt the freed up McStay and CEY help?

I think Lohmann will come in for Matho this week. He was rushed into the 22 when he first starting showing this kind of form and he seems to be back there again now.

Initially the slow ball movement was to help setup behind the play so we wouldn't get hurt on turnover and wouldn't be conceding 20 goals a game like under Leppa

 

[McIvor]

He has looked close to done the last 2 years, borderline best 22 for Dons and often looking a liability on field. Would be needing a spot in an already crowded half back line. Not good enough footballer or leader for that role IMO.

Even Mark Robinson on afl360 when asked about Heppell joining the Suns he said in a roundabout way that the Suns would be best to avoid him given there current trajectory. I reckon he is one of the more uninspiring leaders or captains in the game.

It made sense at the time but this is supposed to be a period where we are one of the better teams in the comp. We looked incredible with the fast ball movement and always have. With the faster ball movement our keys were able to dominate the game because they had space to lead into and our midfielders/half backs were able to hit them up on their leads.

On another note, If Hippy could take a chest level mark with his arms outstretched he could have kicked another couple in that first half. I remember years ago I was at the Voss or Leppitsch footy camp and the Lions players who attended taught us to do that and explained why it was such an important skill to have. I would hope they show Hippy the footage of some of his spoiled chest marks and drill into him that he needs to work on that. Also for anyone who wasn't a kid at the time or wasn't lucky enough to do one of those camps, yes it was awesome and Vossy is the GOAT. The guy got on his knees and let a bunch of us kids take hangers on him. No, I will never achieve anything as awesome as a hanger on Vossy again in my life.

That as well as always being have one able to lead up the wing to contest the ball, while still having two forward to split the defence when it goes forward if we take the first mark

I wonder if having Rayner as a permanent forward who attends centre bounces at times would fill that role? I would back Rayner to take a mark in a pack situation over McStay and Hipwood tbh.

If Buddy becomes available you make it happen

I don't know Nathan...maybe

 

[PattyKwasagun]

It doesn't make a heap of sense, but bloody hell, the thought of Buddy, Hippy, Joe & Charlie in the same forward line for a season... I mean, it would be very hard not to get excited about that.

 

[Lazza16]

I can hear the turnstiles clicking!

How could I forget the MAster Blaster - Jeff Dujon I liked too - even the openers Dessi Haynes and Grodon Greencih (I think thats their names). Patrk Patterson would have been frightening facing.

So who are we trading for - Ed Richards lol

Viv was my hero. When I was a junior I made my own initials and put them on bat when I played on the V12 and I also lightly used to sand the edges of my bat so it looked like I hit everything in the middle! Oh those were days !
