Will be interesting to see if the changing of ruck coach has any influence on our ruck set-ups... & ROB's hits to advantage.

Hi folks, first of all best of luck for the season ahead!
Just a couple of best 22 questions, how's m crouch job security looking, is he likely to be in the first picked midfield and stay there?
Also how is curtain tracking and is he likely to be playing early on?

Anyone who isn’t blind can see that.
Almost certain to be starting midfielder round 1, our preseason training watcher (best in class btw) say his preseason form & attitude are better than ever. Ended last year very strongly, I would say better than I've ever seen him play.
BUT having said that, his form might revert to median any time, which is absolutely crab like at it's worst (see Geelong game last year, where he had negative metres gained). Backwards, sideways, slow to move the ball on, bad kicking, seagulling possession and no chasing.
So your "stay there" is a gamble for sure, but let me put it this way - he won't be overtaken by anyone for his spot, if his form is as good as late last year. Some players can play their absolute best and still be overtaken, that won't be Crouch. It's all up to him to maintain his new play style, and signs are good.
Curtin has everyone here very optimistic and impressed. Training reports are that he is beyond impressive for a draftee, and things like fitness & muscle aren't a problem. Reports are he is absolutely professional.
Has a little knee niggle the last few weeks, and if anything will keep him out of Round 1 it would be only that, we all think.
Debut early seems a certainty.
How the young man adapts to AFL and if he can keep his spot is anyone's guess. Optimistic and hopeful people around here think he's incredibly gifted, could play any position (even midfield) and his future is brighter than any draftee we've had for a long time.
Personally, I struggle to see any first year draftee of that size playing any difficult position like midfield or wing and doing well enough to hold a spot. But then again, if he can slot into defense and we can spare that spot for him, who knows... Even the pessimistic are hopeful for this kid.

The dream is he gets pushed out by someone, not sure I can see that happening though.
My tip is to use WD40 on the curtain tracking

Hi guys,
Best of luck for the season.
Can you tell me if Wayne carey has put any weight over the summer, and is he likely to play any midfield time, or, is he too busy getting himself in trouble with the great Sir Ronald?

I’m hoping it’s not Thilthorpe, my wish is for him to be breaking out up forward

Be nice to think, but my hope is he can’t get into our forward line as Tex and fog dominate and he kills it in the ruck.

Any word on billy Dowling? Had amazing junior numbers. Wondering if he’l ever play or if he’s a few years away? Any thoughts?
Also Sam Berry seems to be on the outer? I thought he looked quite good? Seems to be out of favour.
