This should be interesting! I am guessing Kroogs won’t be active for a while.

It does speak to us having a pretty high opinion of Markov as at least good depth, we normally drag our feet on LTI moves.

This is weird. I can’t think of any player that has a serious enough injury that they’d be required to go on the inactive list. That means they’re out for the whole year doesn’t it???

Most likely Krueger

Edit. Nope. Dean.
 
looked determined and experienced at training, showing leadership and slotting in well... loud, vocal, whilst a bit loose movement wise. Is only 6' 2', so lacks the height to be a genuine third tall defender. I originally thought it was a VFL player plugging a hole or trying to impress

This tells me they need depth at HBF, and either dont trust that Trey can step up as backup, with Ryan also being raw, or just that they need a lot of backup at this position, because it is so important / broad in its impact and ability to plug holes. And / or that runners like Crisp, Maynard & Noble will push up the ground more - Crispy having already done so

Beats me.

I have no idea who is going on the inactive list.
Both Kreuger and Dean only were on the bikes yesterday.
Harrison has a hammy and was doing agility and running
Macrae did a few of the drills, he isn't too far away so can't see it being him.

Not good enough Jen ;)
 
Not exactly a like for like replacement for Dean and we seem well stocked for half backs already (hell even WHE has joined those ranks over the preseason) but he's known to a couple of our coaches already, fits in with our new style of play under McRae and with our other off season additions just adds to our experienced depth for the upcoming year.

Welcome Oleg.

I do think you are right in saying the coaches see this as a vital position for our side.

I also get the feeling they arent completely satisfied with our options in that role, for whatever reason. Perhaps they want something quite specialised and our current guys arent quite there yet.
