I like Chesser a lot but was so disappointed we didn’t get Johnson. Unfortunately they don’t have a Crystal ball.

Johnson is also injured right now with a foot injury

I know Hough's been training in defence but with Chesser out can't we play him on a wing? Lets be honest he isn't physically capable yet to man up in defence and our defensive unit isn't strong enough to allow him to play unaccountable footy. That being said he reminds of young Gaff in that his size doesn't really get in the way of him playing against men and would love to see his pace and skills on the wing
 
I'm a fairly optimistic supporter but I'm approaching all time levels of apathy for this season.

Not good enough to contend, not bad enough (although.....) to be completely hopeless and derive enjoyment from young talent (there is none) on the list.

Seeing Rioli do his thing again is the only thing that excites me about this year. 🤞
 
From my 40-50 years of watching footy, injury prone players rarely grow out of it.
We have a history of picking kids who they consider steals who slid in the draft due to injury. They slide for a reason, because they are a risk.
Might have worked once with Judd, been a f*#kup nearly every other time.
Yeah, shuey had his first year ruined by injury and was a gun.

Allen missed most of his first year recovering from a leg injury.

Rioli spent most of his first year recovering from bad hammers.

Ryan missed 2/3 of his first year recovering from an ankle injury. Played his first game at the MCG in a GF and won

I think Chesser will be fine.

Yeah Judd was such a big slider. Very much comparable to a late draft pick sliding to rookie draft.

I was disappointed when they mentioned he was training at half back, his best games were off a wing and HF last season.

None of those players were injury prone as juniors. Which is what Chesser was unfortunately. I hope we see the best of him but he will have played less games in 3 years than Rioli including his 2 year suspension.
 
At least you know Chesser will be working his guts out in the background. I expect the condition of the rig he’s going to come back with next preseason will be immense.

Really hoping we can pump some games into winder, he’s looking fit and strong.
Why develop Winder when we can play West off a forward flank?
 
I suppose he can be positioned there. Didn’t strike me as a particularly good inside 50 kick or a goal kicker but sure, why not. WC can play HEdwards off half flank too, stuff the ability.
At the moment, the best sort of ability is availability
 
From the WAFL Colts team of the year there are still a few players who never got picked up. What's the knock on blokes like Max Chipper (SD), Josh Browne (East Fremantle) and Jacquin Ciminata (Claremont)?
