All this young talent doing so well.

I suspect this years draft crop is a very, very good one. Might even be a 2001 style super draft.

Throw in Nicky D and Ashcroft.
Then sheez and Rebecca etc .

Lots of young talent .

Cats training is interesting.
Blue vs pink.
Players swapping teams quite often.

Sweet rucking for the probable's, Soldo forward.

Can Kenny be trusted? A playing R3 through the early byes would be glorious.

no doubt Kenny is trying both out to see what he has. Can't see Soldo as a forward though.
It's a watch this space

 

[King_Steele]

Is Kenny a 2 ruck man like Dimma?

Moyle could become relevant Maybe Tomorrow

I don’t think Conway is ready yet

Casboult was chopping out Witts late last year. But he might lose his spot to Walter.

Moyle is OOC this year, so if the Suns want to keep him (which would be ideal as Witts is getting on) they will need to play him. He's not much chop up forward though, so I don't know how they make it work if he does play.

 

[Lord De Goey]

Weddle too expensive? 370k

Amon a mix of HB and wing

 

[cdcanman]

Let me try to translate:

"If GC's new coach Damien 'Dimma' Hardwick's game plan is similar to his time at Richmond, his influence on Touk Miller may reduce Touk's output, and lower his score ceiling.

The Tigers weren't a high SuperCoach scoring midfield during their period of dominance, even in their grand final years.

This leaves Touk Miller as a wait and see prospect for our 2024 SuperCoach sides."

Can you try your hand at this next?

 

[cdcanman]

Hardwick kicked 60 goals in under 18’s be interesting to see how he goes

Topped the TAC cup goalkicking, 2015.
Bags of 12 and 10 if I am not mistaken.
Hawks do have a lot of running defenders when they are all fit. Jiath coming back, Amon sounding like he'll play there as well.
None of them are as accountable as Hardwick but I'm not completely surprised that they would explore this

Does Dil Moore get sum mid time ...

Does Dil Moore get sum mid time ...

My guess is it will be similar to last year. Splitting time between half-forward, wing, occasional centre square attendance. One per quarter maybe?

Honestly surprised this thread isn’t a pile of rubble already

He's no problem on finding the footy little up and down at times.
24yo could improve...

I think he's one of those really good players that most people have never heard of, because he's playing on an ordinary team.
He'll keep getting better as a footballer, not sure if that results in a huge SC bump though. In terms of role, I think he is likely already found his ideal best fit. Don't necessarily see him becoming a full-time mid at any point. Not the most SC friendly. Up and down scoring likely to continue as a result.
I always thought Tom Papley was a good comparison for him

I like him as a player ,,,even a bit underrated.
I'm 50/50 on him..seems to play every week ...
Could go 95ish ...even with his up and down scoring ..

 

[rocker_oz33]

Would be nice is C Mac (cheese and Mac).
Was cheaper ....

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Amon spent time on the wing for those interested in him.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Rivers is the sleeper .....quality player

Hopefully Rivers playing midfield opens the door for Hore

Salem, Sparrow, Petty and Hunter are all in their best 22 so hard to gauge much there.....

Howes DEF only $124k. Onto the watchlist.

EDIT: reading it further, Rivers was matching up against Petracca and Viney, so maybe not that good a role.

and Langdon the other winger not mentioned...

Finnbar went alright today in match sim from comments on the North board.
