Non-blues related, but today was a nice bow to tie together possibly my best and worst football takes.
Best take: 2019 practice match vs Hawthorn at Princes, Walsh's first hit-out. I was there and thought he was unreal, but the player that stuck out to me was Dylan Moore. His workrate, vision and goalsense was unbelievable that day and I thought he was incredible. Been a huge fan and advocate for him being a gun since and him being AA feels incredibly validating.
On the other hand, here's what I said in a draft thread on here about another AA tonight:

Caleb Serong is now a 2x AA mid. I couldn't see why you would want to play him there instead of up forward. One of my worst takes ever I'd argue!

Yup, seems like a nice guy. Why didn't we chase him when Pies shopped him around???

Congrats Cripps and Weiters 
Same. Used to think he was an egotistical flog at Giants, and Pies until Spud :https://au.sports.yahoo.com/danny-frawley-death-adam-treloar-heartbreaking-admission-205415083.html
Ever since then I've really liked him, a pretty genuine and humble dude.
Bet Zorko wishes he'd chosen better Pants, Tie & Shoes now

Senior List
Being named captain of the AA team lost all prestige after they gave it to Toby Greene last year. What leadership qualities does he represent?

My forward unit would have been Curnow, Hogan, McKay, Cameron, Moore, Heeney, Stengle.
I get that it's tall, but there's some rare athleticism and output in that mix, and they very much deserve the nod.
Small defenders I would have gone a different route mostly and squeezed Sheezel into the team there, but lots of good arguments to be made at that end of the ground, aside from Whitfield.

Brent Daniels nowhere? Guess there's no room when you have to squeeze in 16 mids. Feel sorry for the blokes who play those positions at an elite level, every week.
Should have been in the spot they gave Waterman. AA selectors, like Voss and our “dated” coaches don’t appreciate the modern game enough.
Really hope we add a couple of recent retirees to our coaching group. Vossy is an excellent head coach but needs some recency in his confidantes.
Crippa a lock for mine, believe it has been his best year, if not, his most consistent.
A little surprised for Weiters. Definitely deserved a spot on “body of work” but far from a consistent year. He is certainly worthy of the accolade though.
Harry could easily have been given the spot they gave Waterman. With no second ruck named, H would have added some balance to the impractical team. H is undersold by too many, his work up the ground is as valuable as his scoreboard impact.

I couldn't watch: Cripps on the final game
Carlton captain Patrick Cripps couldn't bring himself to watch the defining match of the season.

He's a fine player, no argument!
A disgrace that Jeremy McGovern got in the AA ahead of him...

A disgrace or people being afraid of Glenn Jacovich?

Not really, Andrews and Weiters had similar numbers, Mcgovern was a class above both
What? Are you talking about this year? McGovern got in on name only. All my mates are West Coast fans and they all think he's coasted off the defensive capabilities of Barass for two or three years, playing lose and getting cheap ball.
