[Danger in Texas]

Could you or anyone else highlight in bold the players that are new to our final H&A team in 2024 that I have missed?

6 players and counting, massive.

Keane, too

[Cromulant]

The chances of Pedlar playing R1 would have to be super low at this point.

 

[ams4crows]

I think structure wise as well as the comps new obsession with multiple small forwards, Bond has to be in the team and his lock down roles will be vital to our success.

He's the new Luke Brown

, I think people forget how important that role is and the beauty is Bond is so fit and versatile that he can play lock down roles on midfielders, small forwards and even the comps most damaging half backs.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Why, is he injured?

 

[Cromulant]

Why, is he injured?

As in the AFL side, he's a long way back IMO

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

As in the AFL side, he's a long way back IMO

Imo, he's in the mix for round 1.

 

[Cromulant]

Imo, he's in the mix for round 1.

Maybe, him and about 10 others.

I cant see him overtaking anyone of the 3 that we brought in, or Taylor. I would like him to though, his skillset is very handy.

No argument he is on the fringe... just disagree he is a long way back in the queue.

I'm a big bond fan... Has shown good versatility.. surprised he only got a 1 year contract

Has he ??

IMO he's a stopped, and potentially a very good one. But hes pretty limited elsewhere though that might be because its how weve used him at SANFL level too

If he was 100% fit ... He's easily ahead of taylor imho

If we can fit him in id prefer him to play the lockdown role instead of max.. let max run forward or intercept

He's gotta perform though, and he didnt last year.

For a few reasons admittedly, but currently Taylor is ahead, particularly as a midfielder.

ROB Dawson Soligo

Peatling Draper Tex Nank sub Laird

Unlucky Taylor, Keane

Gone for Butts over Keane as reckon he’s a better one on one defender and we’ve got enough attacking flair and intercepting in defence

Now what’s the chances of Laird being sub? Unlikely but where the hell they going to play him if we are full strength

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I’ve been trying to pick a best 23. There are half a dozen players vying for the last couple of spots.

Good thing is that Smith and Murphy should be nowhere near the side unless we end up with a long injury list.

 

[Chances Are]

No argument he is on the fringe... just disagree he is a long way back in the queue.

Kane if you'd watched him last year he was ordinary. Yes I know he did his shoulder but this was early as well. I question his desire to make a spot in the AFL team his. He's a long way back IMO.

The whole team was bad early.. especially the coach

 

[Chances Are]

The whole team was bad early.. especially the coach

I'm talking in the SANFL. For such a high profile player he was ordinary.

Playing 1 short on the bench?

Early days...

F: Walker, Thilthorpe, Keays
R: O’Brien, Dawson, Rankine
I: Laird, Crouch, Curtin, Pedlar
Sub: Taylor
E: Butts, Jones, Nankervis

Laird as a dedender!

But we should be looking to manage around 30ish players through the season.

Tex to play around 2/3rds of games... so we can mix up Curtin's role.

Edwards, Ryan & pick #4 debut & hopefully play plenty of games.

More of Bond & Dowling.

Hopefully Milera can get an injury free run.
