AFLW 2024 - Round 4 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
he was a good winger. but pickett is a natural winger. proven it time and time again. he’s not a full forward. he’s not a ruck. he’s a winger.Jack Ross was our best winger in 2023
and just how are they gonna do that? ross gonna get on picketts shoulders and they play wearing an oversize trenchcoat? they might get away with it for the first few weeks but people are gonna cotton on eventually.Marlion and Ross can both play wing.
Vlastuin is back training now, why would he be out in 4 weeks time?Round 1 selection

I can see the futureVlastuin is back training now, why would he be out in 4 weeks time?
Has a great spring and good speed so he can play from behind and spoil well. Not a one-on-one wrestler, but you don't need to be when you are playing on the Hipwood, Daniher, King, Cameron types. Broad and he can swap places if a bit more experience is needed.A lot of best 23s have Gibcus as a KPD, is he though? Wasn't he drafted as a marking interceptor? I've seen very little to suggest he can beat an oppo key position forward.
Agree,Miller & Young in same backline… feels like McGuane and Thirsfield all over again
Everyone is excluding Grimes from best 22. I get he is nearing the end but I wouldn’t be writing the old dog off just yet. He is a champion and I’m sure has a lot of pride in his performance, will be unhappy about last year. Grimes leadership and cool head is needed to get the next level of development out of Gibcus and Young.

Why? His form was horrendous last season..There is no way Grimes doesn’t play if he’s fit. It’s just idiots on here with wishful thinking
Why? His form last year was bloody nightmare fuel.There is no way Grimes doesn’t play if he’s fit. It’s just idiots on here with wishful thinking
Why? His form was horrendous last season..
surely players are picked on form and not reputation don’t you think?
Obviously we all hope he recaptures his best form but he shouldn’t just be an auto selection just because he’s fit
Based on what? His premiership years?His experience is invaluable for Gibcus, Young and Miller. Last season was last season. He’ll get first shot if fit and if form is average, I am sure he’ll be dropped, but at this stage he’s a much better option than Gibcus and Young as our 2 KPDs. Curnow and McKay will slaughter them
Based on what? His premiership years?
From all reports he’s had really slow pre season too, so I don’t see how can you can just assume he's a better option
Everything currently on form and fitness is saying otherwise
If he does play I hope he goes back to a lockdown role
True but can only go on what the reports have been saying.. and I very much doubt Balta would be forward without the confidence in Gibcus down backWell Gibcus hasn’t played for 12months and is technically in his second season. There’s no way we should expect him to hold down a key role down back

Not sure about that ed. If he still looks rushed, sloppy and over the hill in the praccies like he did all last year there's no way he should he lining up in round 0, leadership or not.There is no way Grimes doesn’t play if he’s fit. It’s just idiots on here with wishful thinking
Got to agree with this.His experience is invaluable for Gibcus, Young and Miller. Last season was last season. He’ll get first shot if fit and if form is average, I am sure he’ll be dropped, but at this stage he’s a much better option than Gibcus and Young as our 2 KPDs. Curnow and McKay will slaughter them
Young KPD's will still be supported and directed by the smaller types.Got to agree with this.
I'm nervous at the thought of only young inexperienced KPD in the team.
If Balta plays back I'd feel better, maybe even Kozi.
Broad & Vlas could be the "generals" down back, but I still think Grimes would really help the young KPDs.
