I’m probably a little bit against the grain / majority with who I’d like to see given a rotation in our midfield mix and that’s one C. Durdin. Our midfield is absolutely stacked with big bodies and who are tough, have good hands and tackle well: think Cripps, Kennedy, Hewitt, Doc and you would also have kemp in this group (should he ever get the opportunity) and my thinking is we need to mix it up with a Jade Gresham, Zac Butters, Zac Bailey type to offer us that dynamic, quick and burst and Durdin would absolutely offer us this. Physically he’s strong (still lots of upside with him here), but would absolutely love to see us give him a handful of 3-4 minute bursts in there per game. Would give us a different look we badly lack, particularly with Walsh out.
I think thats the plan for Fish
 
Would love to see Weitering run through the middle in short bursts.

Crippa, Weitering and Charlie in the centre square with TDK leaping all over them. Woweee wouldn’t wanna get in front of that lot contesting for the ball 😯
I'm going to strongly disagree here. For all of his freak talent, I'm not sure Charlie is really suited to play on ball. And this is the first I've ever seen anyone mention Weitering lining up in the centre square.

If you're purely doing this for the sake of 'let's name the biggest centre square combo' then a significantly better option would be something like Cripps, Kennedy & Silvagni with one of Mirkov or Pitto in the ruck (depending on if you're putting more emphasis on height or weight). Flank them with Acres and Kemp as big wingers and that's a huge midfield. Definitely not our best midfield but probably our biggest functional one.

David king very impressed with our training session especially off the half back line.Out of all the so called experts I do rate what he says.

I actually rate Kings opinions in pre season and on his appearances on some podcasts etc. Imo he's just one of those guys who pulls stuff out his ass when he's in the weekly grind of the footy season and has to discuss something even if it's pointless
 
Also replies to questions from Kingy on Twitter:-


  • On Cunners - On the sidelines
  • Motlop very good - clean and creative, has put on size. Durdin and Owies as you’d expect - Honey in and out
  • O’Brien was excellent, Dow neat but nothing special today. Sighted but not noteworthy
  • Pitto did a couple a couple of bloody brutally tough plays. De Kon and he didn’t do all of the match sim, but the blues look loaded for tall options

When they say something negative 'he/she's a w***er and knows nothing'
When they say something positive 'he/she is very knowledgable and knows what they are talking about' 😜

credit where its due, at least he attends pre-season training and doesnt just tune in come march practice games
 
Then you have people stating that if we don't make finals, Voss should be sacked

Seriously, it's a training session in January
Just thought it was funny, the difference in how last weeks 'tidbit' was framed in comparison to that one. Dare say the context of SEN rather than just him tweeting probably has a bit to do with the tone/strength of opinion/boldness of the claim

???

Pitto not supposed to be training with group yet from earlier reports. Misinformation or confused for Mirkov?
 
If we are something like 3 wins / 6 losses going into the bye, Voss will probably be sacked.

Who knows, but not sure why it needs to be stated, with every training report, injury update and or win/loss compared to supporter expectations

It's January, nothing really happens until the season starts

You're correct, forgot what thread I was in when I replied. My pessimism knows no bounds.
