Okay so there is a danger in reading posts from oldest to newest......the dangers of setting the bar really high with your posts....the let down can be enormous!!

Following me is like following Carlton.

There are highs and there are lows (mostly lows).

I'm pretty sure I also peaked back in '95...

How is Matty Wright training down there?

Has the ability to rack up the disposals and may be a surprise to you guys

I liked what I saw of Matty Wright in his various highlight videos... I'm expecting him to do well as a small forward who rotates through the middle.

What? You scored in '68 and '70 but missed out on the '69?

rotates through the middle.

Are you baiting the last surviving thylacine60

That's a nice sight. Harry's hands are massive, he also has a huge arm span.
No wonder his teammates nicknamed him Buckets.

Anyone else notice something unusual about that Clem Smith clip? .........................................................................................The Music

I noticed his very quite? Lol

Im predicting we have a gem on our hands in Harry. A lot of people were a bit worried about him, but the bloke is essentialy underaged, big frame and can take a grab. A lot to work with!

preseason cup was more your style. a "premature" high before the crushing let down....

But can this Harry do the "baulk" ?

I bet you tell all the ladies that you are good in the bluff...

apparently did ok at Catherine Wilson's prom...

One question I have for those who get down to training is Docherty. Is he spending a lot of time with the midfield group? Or do we see him playing down back?

Would love to see him get some midfield time.

 

[SafeAsMilk]

It's pre-season - the time of year we love to get carried away.

He won't be a gun, but judging by reports he seems to bring a whole lot of enthusiasm and leadership qualities to the group. Guys like this drag the young blokes with em. So if he does that for a few years and plays a role for the side, it's a win for us imo.

That would be a loss IMO. We have blokes like Ed Curnow, Armfield and Simon White for that. Kerridge is only 22 and has already kicked bags of 6 and 4 goals in only 27 games of footy. It's reasonable to assume that he can be a very good player for another 8-10 years.

Agree entirely, Carlton wouldn't have gone after him if he was just going to plod around carrying the younger blokes, no reason to put a cap on this guy, has shown that he could be very damaging and I can't see why he cant improve even more... From what I've seen at training he looks very professional and works hard, has a great rig for a midfielder and has proven that he can go forward and snag a few, might surprise a few this young chap!

He's also 22 and has failed to cement his spot in Adelaides best 22. Sure his body let him down a lot but I don't think we should be assuming he will become a very good player for the next decade.

It's certainly reasonable, there's also no shame in being a good honest foot soldier.

No shame there, Adelaide's midfield was a pretty good unit with Sloane, Dangerfield, Thompson to choose from.

 

[Jimmae]

So they still trained. hmm.

They're training 6 days a week at the moment

 

[Love the Drake]

The upcoming practice matches will sort a few out (including senior players).

Bolton will be looking for players that are switched on to his game plan. I'm confident there will be a few surprises.

Should be interesting..

 

[SurreyBlue]

I'm interested in seeing if Everitt and Jones in particular improve there second efforts / defensive games under Bolton.

 

[andrew_]

Anyone who's been to training........How's Foster traveling? I have a feeling he will fall into obscurity never to be seen again at years end, any chance of him getting a game?

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

Problem is Wright and Van Berlo were getting games ahead of him.
For me our aim should become a top four team in the future and from what he has shown already I'm very confident that he could become good enought to be part of a side who reaches those heights but doubt he will be a major reason for us getting there.

 

[Choffy_Boy]

Good afternoon to all those noble knights of the Blue table.

I'm a long time listener, 1st time caller.

Ive been reading all your posts and would mind getting into the banter, being a passionate Blueboy myself.
