Someone better than me can put the link up from afl site but Powell has done a serious hamstring in doubt for rd1. King on track to play trial against gws, weller flying and a chance for Rd1. I thought our pre season was too good to be true.

Hamstring is no big deal. I would be extremely happy if it's our only injury during the pre-season. Everyday teams report injuries as pre-season ramps up.

Wondering if adding quickly 9kg could have played a role. More pressing question for me - Can Powell reach the top level again after the nasty ankle injury. The same goes for King, Weller and Budarick. It may take some time but hopefully all recover fully.

Bad time for him to get injured personally too, there are a lot of young players who need games and only limited spots.
 
It looks like Ace finished 2nd.
Hard to tell who finished where with the editing, but it did look like that.

Mad that he only had 50% TOG last year, clearly can't have been a fitness issue.

Be interesting to see who else finished well, reckon these sort of runs tell you a lot more than a 2-3km around a track.

Ace looks way stronger this off-season. I am actually quite optimistic about him. Against North last game he was pretty good. It would be a great story if he makes it. I am rooting for him.
Rosas also started only like 50%. It should go up this season.

Rosas 64%. They will both need to lift that a lot to replace Rankine who was 85% last year.

Small pressure forwards have got to be super fit, did you notice Holman in the front group in that video? Probably gives a clue as to why he's always picked.
 
The club were possibly only expecting one of Weller/Powell/Buda to be available for round, hence his recruitment. Just turns out to be a different one unfortunately.
I wonder if Longy eventually finds his way into our forward line. We're obviously going to have an excess of small/medium defenders once all these guys come back and I would assume Long would be selected ahead of small forward candidates like Ace or Berry if push came to shove.

I think I remember dew being asked about that and sounded pretty sure he'd be a rebounding half back. I guess if the backs were stacked and he wasn't performing well there's that option and it's good to have that flexibility. I can see weller playing a fair chunk on the wing, before he got injured he and Powell were pushing up to the wing quite a bit and it was working well.
