The other guy has better cropping also

Almost as though he knows what he's doing :)

Mine was an embedded tweet. I take no responsibility.

This analogy would be fair if we didnt dump the draftees in during the middle of December.

Don't forget the bit about the wear and tear on older bodies.

Can't help when the draft is. These boys have school to finish. We also cut them considerably more slack in their first off season. I look at rookies, 1-4 year players, 5+ year players as low expectations vs competing for last few spots in seniors vs established seniors or delisting targets/depth.

I do think that those 5 years players that have not cemented a spot should be there as early as possible if it is their choice to make.

Not much talk about Matty Dick on here - seems he's really gunning for a senior spot, and I'm sure everyone knows the deal by now... put in 110%, play your role and perform or you won't last long.

Good to see MD come back in good shape and showing voice/leadership among the 1-4 year players. Could be a surprise packet in 2016 if he has a good summer.

Sidenote, also great to hear a bit of Neil Craig in that clip - seems really comfortable in where he fits and looks to be loving being in that hands on role with the players.
well he did play a few games last season, makes him a senior player ! Happy to see "My Man" looking good. The right age to take that next step.
 
Early days but with so many new faces is it evident that the group are more vocal? It's been a criticism for a number of years - not sure if it is limited to game day or has been an issue at training also.
 
Wouldnt surprise me in the slightest if we played Plowman as third tall defender and Jaksch as third tall forward... and then during a game, have them swing to opposite ends for a spell.
Yeah I hope we don't. How often do we see successful teams do this - great if they can plug a hole when injury hits, or if a match up is destroying us. But third talls switching, why, where's the long term benefit?

Hopefully that experiment left with Lachie.
