Pies odds shortening for the flag JMac

Equal with nm according to foxtel odds stupic campaigners shouldn't watch practice matches or read my stuff.
 
Updated, who's played what. % = time on ground

Yeah, so was I. With Grundy and Witts only playing a half each he must have played more up the ground as the second ruck.

Are they saying Cox is the 2nd Ruck and then have 1 of Witts or Grundy as the Number 1 Ruck?

I doubt they do that in RD 1

We're certainly trying things, Cox said post game 1 that he played no ruck as the club wanted to see how Grundy and Witts played together. Complete guess, but I think game 2 was a mix of a few different circumstances. Cloke and Moore returned without a tall going out, it was obviously pre-planned to minimise the game time of Grundy and Witts (the heat may have played a role here), plus an opportunity to see how Cox went as number 2 against the best ruck in the comp.

Next week should give a better indication on how we'll line up in R1.

I'm a roar fan

I live up here but I don't have an A League team, let alone a Roar membership. Love my world game, just never found a reason to pick one club over another yet. Oh well, I hope we smash the Lions this year.
 
do we have the best midfield now? probably Geelong, but we would be top 5 no doubt?

We will only have the best midfield when we start the prove it by beating the best teams and finishing in the top 4.

Until then it's still Hawks/West Coast.

Geelong aren't even close to the best midfield in the comp, even with the addition of Dangerfield.

Someone on SEN said it best. Everyone has a good starting midfield (Adams, Pendles, Treloar) but our next 6 are better than others Swan, Sidey, De Goey, Greenwood, Crisp, Aish? Elliot? Macaffer?, blair?. Hopefully that helps us massively with the new limited interchange.

Anyone thinking Adams is going to take his game to another level this year. Guy is a beast.

He already has most of the attributes, the thing that would take his game to the top 20 in the comp status is if he gets better with his kicking, only thing that lets him down. Can't fault his attack on the ball, ball winning ability, pace is reasonably good.

I think they are seriously considering Cox as a forward, a nightmare match up. It would be line ball between Cox, Gault and Smith for the rookie elevation. Glad I don't have to make that call.

Can promote 2 of those 3 players. One as the 40th player and one as a LTI replacement for Scharenberg.

I can't pick it. I would have had Gault no chance before the preseason games but he has really stood up. Think Cox might be the unlucky one but going by past experience we won't promote anyone until they are selected in the regular season senior side.
