Shut your eyes or look awayGibbs and Milera are our first choice half backs. What happens when Talia, Hartigan, Doedee and even Laird get the ball?
Kamikaze runners from behind to receive handballs always unsettles the oppositions defence setupYep. Its going to learn to massive turnovers this year. If thats the gameplan expect us to be blown away early in a game by highly pressured forward players.
Those short kicks were not covering the 15m. They were like suicide 5-10m kicks which is an awful option as the ball takes longer to cover and control IMO compared to a quick handball.
Who is everyone most excited to watch?
All of them,we are in a perfect position to make some cruel but needed decisions to move forward, jungle attitude the strong will surviveI feel like in the mist of all these meltdowns over a preseason game that many have forgotten that we are about to see our draftees for the first time this weekend.
Who is everyone most excited to watch?
For me i'm chomping at the bit to see Schoenberg play. Something tells me that even though he looks like a 14 year old who just ate all the donuts, his style of play will make him surprisingly ready to play much earlier then what people might expect!
i'm excited too see them all too, but which one are you most excited too see?All of them,we are in a perfect position to make some cruel but needed decisions to move forward, jungle attitude the strong will survive
To be honest I really can’t pick one name out of the hat, must admit after the game will probably watch a couple more closelyi'm excited too see them all too, but which one are you most excited too see?
Fair call. They are all intriguing prospects. Admittedly none that I was gunning for on draft night, but certainly all seem to have some unique and fascinating strengths!To be honest I really can’t pick one name out of the hat, must admit after the game will probably watch a couple more closely
For me this is more exciting than previous years due to lack of interest they have generatedi'm excited too see them all too, but which one are you most excited too see?

Worrell for me, I think he's the 'sleeper' of our 2019 draft...and an interest in Gollant to see what Hamish saw that I missed.i'm excited too see them all too, but which one are you most excited too see?

Yeah I am still trying to figure out Worrell. Could literally be anything given his size, speed, athleticism. I just hope we don't dick him around too much position-wise because he's 'versatile'. That traditionally doesn't work out that great for Crows players.Worrell for me, I think he's the 'sleeper' of our 2019 draft...and an interest in Gollant to see what Hamish saw that I missed.
Yeah, athletically he looks very well put together.Worrell. First time we've had a tall that doesn't move slower than a glacier since Bock and (pre-injury) Hentschel.
How could you forget big Sam?Worrell. First time we've had a tall that doesn't move slower than a glacier since Bock and (pre-injury) Hentschel.

I guess with all the talk on big bodied tall mids Ronin O'Connor and Gollant will be closely watched by those with that particular interest.
I actually think our short kicking woes are more about a lack of options due to work rate. Whenever I watch our games from "down the ground" I notice a distinct lack of movement, especially those secondary leads. Players seem to make an obligatory move then just stay there clogging up space. We need more dynamic movement by receivers when we're coming out of the back half imo.Short kicking is fine if you're good at it.
A disaster if you're not.
We're not. Our defender/wingmen options are either poor kicks or good long kicks who lack finesse when trying to kick short.
Short kicking for us won't succeed under any sort of pressure

Watching and admiring the Orange Tsunami over the last 3-4 years, the 1 other thing that's jumps off the screen is just how hard their players work to receive the release handpass, that sets up their line breaking runs into attack. For me that's the entire reason for the short kicking. Continually shifting the zone so you free up the right player to break the lines with run and a attacking kick.I actually think our short kicking woes are more about a lack of options due to work rate.

I see Gollant as a project player, seems to have some moves but needs the body to make it to the big league, At 191 and 72kg he may struggle in the SANFL this year. another 15kg and he a different player.Worrell for me, I think he's the 'sleeper' of our 2019 draft...and an interest in Gollant to see what Hamish saw that I missed.
