[DQ 4EVER]

Little League?

Only 1 game & i had to wear the horrible blue & white instead of the beautiful red & white.
I gave the stats man an easy day, as well

there's no hurry. just needs to get his body right for September with a few games to get in form so he can play the grandie and get his medal before retiring (Crawford style). Ras to get games and we get an answer one way or the other in the meantime. He earnt the chance for his efforts at Peel.

Funny you mention Crawford, that's usually my reference point for Nat as well.

If coop has taken the next step and can be best 22 whose spot in the fwd line does he take?

Switta most like for like.

Suspect he could replace Sturt (in a different role) but not Freddy.

I'd be happy with the Switta swap, but only if he isn't performing. I'm still a big Switta fan.

I'd hope not Sturty, I want a full uninterrupted season into him to see what he can really do. I'm a big Sturty fan too.

Man, this team is loaded with players I want to get games into without dropping anybody.

Interesting the whole role thing.
If you had 6 Matthew Pavliches, would you only play 5 plus Banners so you had a different role?
If you had 6 Ballantynes, would you only play 5 plus Kepler for the different role?
At what point do you just play the best available players and model the team play about the relative strengths/weaknesses that brings??
Just asking.

6 Pavliches as Banners is a ball burner

All I know is now I want to see a forward line of 6 Keplers.

What a sight! Chaos/genius/freak/groans/laughs and all of them all at once - every stadium in the land would be packed out for every game.

 

[Quay Club]

I would settle for 3 Keplers and 3 Clives!

Depends on the players and your system. You play whatever you think gives you the best chance of winning.

Freddy for example has attributes that Simpson doesn't, so if you value the role highly, you still pick Freddy even if Simpson is better.

And you can easily fit 6 Pav's into any team.

Yeah, acknowledge that [emoji[emoji6]] is still pretty small for a medium, Emmett was [emoji[emoji6]][emoji6] which is probably the cut off point in my mind. [emoji[emoji6]][emoji6]-[emoji[emoji6][emoji6]] would be my definition of “medium”

I know it’s a long time ago but Dermy was (is) [emoji[emoji6]][emoji6]

Indeed - bloke filled 5 different positions in the All Australian team over his career, which is pretty damn stunning now I think about it

I don't mind Narkle as the sub. I think he could have an impact. May take him 4 or 5 weeks in WAFL to get up to speed due to his lack of preseason, but will be a good option later in the season.

A friend who watches Port, says he was in good in the SANFL and can run through the middle.

Maybe a defender light, although Chapman can go back, as can Young.

with 6 Pavs we could field a six man team!

Radical!

Shows the options we have emerging with Simpson and Narkle.

Rotate them weekly with the six Keplars to keep them fresh.

If the AFL had respected the arm chopping rule the ball wouldn't hit the ground after a centre bounce if you went with 6 Sandilands's.

Curious to see where Aish fits into the picture 2025 - started last year as a lock and ended somewhat on the periphery, with a fair bit of young talent trying to crack into the team going forward.

Aishy has to be depth this year, unfortunately.

You can add him to the list of people like Walters, Fyfe, O'Meara, Banfield.

I have them all out of the best 22, but I expect we will get 40 plus games out of them this year. (Based on training reports, O'meara and Banfield are ahead of the rest) They all need a good preseason to play round 1, and will be under pressure all year to hold their spot.

I think all are solid depth, when we have injuries.
