impressed in an intra-club clash last weekend, after a summer of ankle issues. But it’s the development of Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and Sam Darcy that has Dogs supporters dreaming of a flag. For the Roos, slick No.3 pick draft pick Harry Sheezel booted three goals against the Tigers last week. He will challenge for the Rising Star award.

What we want to see: New coach Alastair Clarkson has emphasised greater ball movement, including an ability to run in numbers, while also demanding greater accountability at stoppages. Will this hold up? The Bulldogs have spoken of a more relaxed Luke Beveridge through the summer. Will that change if the Kangaroos take charge early?

Round one implications: The Kangaroos have a chance to make an early statement against the Eagles. To do that, they need to build momentum, which Cam Zurhaar and Luke Davies-Uniacke

has settled in well in defence, and will want to emerge unscathed, ahead of a Saturday night clash against Melbourne.

The first teams are in: Your guide to the official AFL pre-season games

There’s plenty on offer when the first, and only, round of official practice matches are held, beginning on Thursday night - and the first teams of the season are in.

fit and ready to play this weekend?
Also, is he a lock for best 23?
Cheers.

 

[shinboner magic]

Really? Sleevo be playing VFL round 1?

He’s not a lock and might be lucky that tucker/ Taylor are coming back from injury.

Not a lock and potentially on the outer with goater, Perez more likely to play early in the season

 

[FlyHigh18]

doggies have a harder midfield than the tigs, but not as good up back. should be an interesting game with more focus on clearance

Definitely keen on seeing our clearance structures against a very deep Dogs midfield, but I am just as interested in how our forward line operates with Cunners, Comben and co.

 

[DuckYeah]

They are a top 8 team and I reckon we’ll match them around the ground and in contest however they will have greater team cohesion and thats what it will come down too. We can match it (if fit with key personnel) in season

He's absolutely killing it. Delivering 35m lasers out of defence and hitting team mates on the tit. Lock him in for 22 games plus finals..

 

[shinboner magic]

They’ve absolutely belted us a few times - small ground should help stop their spread and run

I think our midfield is quickly becoming as talented as theirs except they have the edge in experience. Xerri better play well otherwise English will take him to the cleaners if the succession plan of him taking Goldy's number one spot is in full swing.

Xerri is no match for English. hence! “Key personnel” comment. Darcy would give Xerri a bath.

A big man in the centre of the ground that can mark the pill is important. From what I have seen of Xerri, his contested “arms up” marking is mud. Winning the centre bounce isn’t that important. It what a ruckman does around the ground. I’d love nothing more to be wrong, Xerri is not the answer (based on previous seasons)

Xerri has to model his game on nanks - crash and bash follower.
Probably play a kick behind play at times

 

[Lomas]

Will probably head across with the kids for this one. They are actually showing a bit of enthusiasm, so hopefully we show enough.

What impressed me the most last week was our structure at stoppages, it allowed us to defend and attack effectively depending on who won the clearance.
Our structure behind the ball was really solid and much better than last year where we didn’t have one at all.

More of that and I’ll be happy this week.

Agreed. I find he has troubles channeling his aggression and can be clumsy with his body during AFL games which results in free kicks.

He really, really needs to be able to take a contested grab to help contribute more.

Wat happens if it’s a free out?

Could we see these scenes repeated?
