We played Sloane more forward in the 2nd quarter from what I recall. Just need to do that for 2/3 of the game at a minimum more. That will doubly go when Laird is back because Schoenberg cannot under any circumstances be the midfielder who sees his midfield time lightened because there's another mouth to feed.
I was done with him the moment he straight up lied to me about Crouch having OP in 2018. This was after Brad went on radio to say he had OP and I sent an email regarding the weird, shadowy nature of denying injuries that had started to develop under Burton. To his credit he called me up about it, but just kept saying "Brad misspoke" when I pushed him on the OP things and saying things about Burton being a "star".
About a month later Crouch was having surgery and out for the season.

Hey I just had a chat to my 1 year old nephew and he told me that the Fagan era was actually really good and I shouldn't sweat the small stuff.
Which players had covid?
I think this is an example of the sort of reason why. It’s faux engagement, and insincere values.
Where’s the authenticity. He thought he was doing a good thing by engaging with a supporter but saw nothing wrong with trying to fob you off with any old nonsense
After his time here what has he left behind? Other than being a non-football guy who focused on non-football stuff and has nothing to show for it
He came to typify everything wrong with the club and that era.
If he achieved anything it was leading the club back towards more authentic leadership through his failures
I thought we were doing that too but then he seemed to go back to full time mid for the last half.
Really puts everything into perspective.

I don't know the full list but it included Sloane & Dawson.
Have a look who missed our 1st trial against the Lions as it was at that time.

Oww, double question mark… can’t argue with that
Not every player that missed would have it. With the 15 minute close proximity rule, close contacts would have missed as well.

I had the same conversation. Did he share that it was Leppitsch fault for Brisbanes high injury count and that’s why Burton wanted out?
Nice info, thanks for sharing.
It does seem strange he only played a half of footy if he is needing to improve his fitness though ?

you have to love crows Facebook supporters especially the elderly ones, if you even bring up captain courageous in a bad light they start swearing at ya, I think I’ll stick to bigfooty.

In Burgess we trust, if in doubt I'm going with Burgo.

After watching the 5 part series that the Demons put out about their 1st preseason with Burgo I came away with him liking to push a player as hard as they can for as long as they can handle.
Perhaps with Cook he was given a "Give me a half, at 100%, but don't hold anything back" Strategy, and they'll build on extending that over the coming month.

What I'd like to see,
I've said it soooo many times, but Himmelberg is just the answer for us. Time to see what McAsey can do up forward. I think sloane's appeal gets him off, it didn't look real bad, but if he goes out I think Pedlar is a good swap. Sholl was pretty good, should come in and positionally works in a bit of a shuffle for McPherson.
Out : Himmelberg(omit), sloane (susp)*, mcpherson (inj).
IN: McAsey, Pedlar, Sholl
(Gollant come in to be sub)
*may be overturned, if so - likely Pedlar waits another week.

This is a terrible take.

Got my answer in the end, thanks.
Jones was fine in the 2nd half, people like you just have his papers stamped already

You do realise McAsey has been training with the defenders again this pre-season, played in defence in SANFL trial game on the weekend and in all the match sims apparently....It looks like the McAsey forward experiment has rightly been binned.
If we wanted to go left field (we won't) Worrell is the better option anyway, far more athletic, quicker and way more X factor.
Or, if we want a forward we could just pick the bloke who kicked a bag full on the weekend??
