Opinion 529: Who will get how many games in 2025?

[LarryKinn]

I rate HH and Parker as 2 that will definitely be a big part of our future, stepping into role of retiring veterans
I wonder if HH can play a role on the wing as a Sidebottom replacement
High hopes for Ed, expect 10 games at a minimum
Make or break year for Reef and Finn, pulling for Reef to claim a tall defender spot

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

It's too hard to predict who will get games and how many. I'm just going to say that Parker will play the most of all the young guys coming through.

Reckon Allan should be ahead of him in games played this year but Parker will definitely benefit the most out of his first proper full preseason. Could be an absolute surprise packet.

My concern with Allan is where he fits in the midfield rotations. Opportunity will be his problem

Agree, the issue is whether Allan can hold down a second position, such as a wing or a flank. If so, projecting as a good chance every week. His body shape looks like it is ready for AFL, so fingers crossed that translates to a broad spectrum improvement. One of the exciting prospects for this preseason.

Needs to find a bit of forward craft

I think I might have seen him starting forward in some match sim, but I'm not sure. But agree its important he does.

with his height and speed, he'd be an interesting option as a lead-up forward / or as a roaming HFF when he's not playing inside mid

Lipinski type roles as he builds up midfield time - if he can get his positioning right fcr those roles.
