Resource 2025 Pre-season Training Reports

I'm not convinced he's fixed his poor disposal efficiency in one preseason. Match sim is so different to AFL footy. Let's see how he goes with small forwards on his ass. Ginni/Watson in rd2, Hill/McCreery in rd4, they'll smell blood when little Ollie gets his hands on the footy.

I can see him having a shocking game, then getting moved back to the wing. Blues will have Saad, Kemp and Cowan in the back 50, plus Doch on a wing, Cerra in the middle and Zilliams up front who can all play that role.

Screams "trap", but he's probably going to force us to pick him, lol

Yeah, it is really hard to gauge DE off preseason intra-club stuff, the level of pressure isn't there
Hadn't been looking at Hollands, tbh, but get the angle.
Archie Roberts similar price class, one I wanted to have s look at (wouldn't really know him from a bar of soap, but he seems to have been OK in the Hepell role at the end of last year).

Hollands isnt a bad kick. Hes a bit slow to get ball to boot and struggles to break tackles, forcing him to often dispose under physical pressure.

I think that'll be less an issue in the backline then midfield, where he'll have a little more time and space. Plus he looks to have gotten stronger.

I reckon he averages 22+ disposals and 90+ supercoach points. If he was a defender Id probably pick him but less likely as a mid.

What do you think about Saad, out of interest?
Different price class, but do you think he will be more prominent / free-wheeling given the Newman injury?

I wouldnt go there. Gun player, but has always struggled to accumulate. That wont change with Newman gone, even if we do rely on him a bit more.
