good to know

Bloody auto correct.

Start him on a wing opposite Xavier Duursma and we could have a very dynamic wing combination.

 

[carloss]

Will be interesting to see where they play him. He could play back and give us some drive. I think he has a few goals in him as well, so maybe half forward?

Disagree, our wing combo should be Martin and Duursma.

Saad should play half back or half forward IMO. Both are positional needs.

Starting wing combo yes. Suspect Martin will also play some half forward at times.

 

[eth-dog]

I think long term he's a wing. He's a 360° player and those types are too valuable to be limited to a flank.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Can kick a goal and seems to be a decent mark for a guy his height

 

[crackers65]

I don’t care if him and Martin play wing or half forward. We need goals from both of them. If our forward line converted more forward 50s the ball wouldn’t come flying back out like it does. Also we still need to replace stringers output. Some of stringers loss will be made up by pressure and run from his replacement, but I don’t think anyone will kick the team lifters from the boundary line.

One of the guys I am most looking forward to playing next season. Should be in round 1.

Stringer as a forward averaged 1.7 goals a game. Guelf averaged 1.1 so if Guelf plays 20+ games he’ll be within 10 goals of Jakes output (plus give up far less going the other way)

As far as team lifters. Caddy and Draper are most likely for a BS goal. And Langford/Wright are Lazers

I thought I was the only one allowed to make fuzzy logic statements about how changes in personnel will impact scores (especially relating to missing Stringer’s 42 goals)?
Maybe stay in your lane…

I'd like possibility of our HBFs folding through the middle with wings sliding back to cover defence.

This has the potential of El-Hawli, Merrett, Martin, Redman, Ridley etc all delivering the ball towards/into our F50.

I have much more faith in these guys delivering the ball than I do Sheil, McGrath or Lav

Outlandish statements is also my lane . We can both keep flying for hangers together

If Guelfi held his 2024 per game average over 23 games he's still 16 short of Jake.

If you carry the two, then minus the pies, multiply by the hair, there's your extra 16.

Whoops

Yeah- in my head I was giving Marto a few extra goals playing wing vs HB and that was gonna be the difference.

It’s spotty AF logic. But see how we go

I can’t fault it.
It’s math.
We’ll be fine.

 

[ghostdog]

I'm leaning towards a Marto-Hawaii wing/forward rotation. And looking forward to it.

 

[HirdyLannister]

Can't wait to see the inside bull in action.
