Damn, was looking forward to seeing how he goes against men in pre-season.
I guess slim Levi szn is back on the menu.

Sucks but the end of the world. Can still run, work on fitness, he'll be back available early enough in the season, and Levi starts seasons really well

Not the end of the world but reckon he could have started with a bang against the tigers defence. Hopefully it's not a bad break and gets back asap.
You can’t expect pre season to be perfect. This is minor in the scheme of things. What you don’t want to hear is ACL or Broken Legs this time of year.

12 months ago i was full of hope and expectation, Now I feel dead inside, with an understanding that something, good or bad, is coming and I'm powerless to do anything
We are all in optimism land right now but I keep coming back to this realisation. Dimma maintains we are only 20% off being a great team. With Jed now injured, Rogers' back injury an unknown quantity, Ethan being not quite ready - we have only Will Graham to make up that 20%. Looks like our opening round side will look much the same as last year's final game side. It would be a disaster if Richmond were to beat us in that opening round. Ben King no guarantee yet either given he's not at full training level. That key back man we've been missing for years may still come back to haunt - but I'm praying hard for a new look game plan and wins on the board.

Don't think a bunch of 18 year olds were ever meant to be our saviours this year ( although walter isn't your average 18 year old). Our biggest chance to climb the ladder this year is the improvement from guys like king, luko, ballard, Rowell, Anderson, Flanders, Andrew, Humphrey, Jeffery, rosas. There's a group there with some good amount of games under their belt ready to become serious players. If they can all improve and witts and miller can stay fit there's enough reason to believe in an immediate rise.
Finally re-signed as a member and uped it to Gold, received my online membership cards and it states 16 year member, 16 years of hopes dashed on the rocks. Please let 2024 be our year 
Yeah, forget draftees. Finals push has to come from internal growth. IMO, we underperformed in the last 2 years, especially the last year. Just hope that Dimma arrival improves mental aspects, confidence. On the other hand, I suspect it will take some time to imbed a new plan. Even Drummond said that.

Wonder if a season like GWS had last year is more likely, no good early, then came home with a wet sail.
Not suggesting a prelim is likely but they didn't have any big IN's and lost Taranto and Hopper.
It needs to be the like of King, Luko, Rowell, Powell, Andrew, Humpa etc lifting a level, plus a couple of others. The list isn't prefect but if most of these guys are motivated and find form making finals is definitely possible.
I can see us being a*s, particularly defensively, early on as we learn to apply the gameplan against opposition.
Just need to be able to bank some wins while we go through the growing pains and most importantly not lose our cool and crash and burn mentally and give up if things aren’t going perfectly.

Powell return iwould be massive for us and if and when Weller
Maybe some Rosas magic x factor this year ?

Powell all aus if he can stay on the park this year.
Someone has to have a breakout year this year, we have too much talent not to see an Anderson, Flanders, Powell, Mac become elite

Anderson is elite.
If he was playing for a vic club the fawning over him would be incredible.
If he stays fit and we win 12+ games he wins the Brownlow
