Thats a ton of athleticism and size across the HB line.

Surely the goal sense and kicking ability is far too good for him to have a permanent role back there. I don't mind letting him ease into it down there after the turmoil he's had (provided he's actually allowed to play). I think he just needs to enjoy his footy again, so it makes complete logical sense to put him in the easiest position on the field, but I'm gonna be fuming if that's where he ends up staying long term. We all remember what he did in 2021. We don't have anyone who can replicate that 20+ possession, 1.5 goal a game outputHe's fast, hard as a cats head, great aerial ability and beautiful long kick with brilliant vision.
Made for the role in the modern game

1 goal per game is the absolute max for him I reckon. He's powerful, but he's closer to a pure midfielder than a Petracca/Dusty mid/fwd hybrid imo. TT could definitely be a mid/fwd hybrid, albeit without the raw power of the aforementioned ladsReckon LDU may get close
Paul Curtis, as he spends more time in the middle. Sheezel also has that potential.We don't have anyone who can replicate that 20+ possession, 1.5 goal a game output
Unless he is even more damaging in the HB role. He might not be but maybe he is. We'll have to wait and see.Surely the goal sense and kicking ability is far too good for him to have a permanent role back there.
Phoenix has spent a large part of the preseason in the rehab group. When I did see him live in late December, his speed and elusiveness was noticeable.Just needs an AFL body and he’s a chance.
Massive unit. He looked ripped in that photoTurner has definitely put on some size. Is he in the best 22?
Be interesting to see how this goes. Has always looked scared to me when there is genuine opposition. Will happily be proved incorrect.Phoenix has spent a large part of the preseason in the rehab group. When I did see him live in late December, his speed and elusiveness was noticeable.
He can kick goals and did in that particular match sim. His ball use is very good and forward pressure is what he brings. He's worth persisting with. He has qualities that our forward line needs. He'll make a useful forward pocket player, given time. Reminds me of Matt Campbell, for those who remember him. There's a reason he is still on our list.
On Lachie Young.... i know he can be a polarising figure but I think he'll be in our next finals side.
Im guessing the Bull didn't get a free for that????? I flipping hate umpires.Eddie flies as Luke gets trodden on. (This was last Friday, so possibly why he sat out the match sim today.)

David King in my opinion was the "first modern back flanker" with his run and carry, averaged 0.6 goals a game across his whole career ....they played a lot more direct footy back then..... I wouldn't rule out TT averaging 30+ and almost a goal a game off back flank!......What would the failed fireman have to say about that?Surely the goal sense and kicking ability is far too good for him to have a permanent role back there.

If he does his boot laces up before he kicks for goal he has the potential to kick a few more1 goal per game is the absolute max for him I reckon.

Reckon him planting the knees into Obrien's cheekbone in the big dance of 96 was quite a pivotal moment too!Was rewatching our 99 finals games vs port and Brisbane on youtube. King stood out for sure.
Thanks Twinkletoes. I've been going hard in the gym to get tickets to the gun show. Football is still a work in progress though....Massive Unit congrats man.
Genuinely forgot I was working today. Woke up this morning with every intention to head down to Arden st.Another beautiful Arden st morning. Here early and some of the support staff are setting up. No players yet. Hoping for an intraclub today.
About 17 degrees, light breeze, sunny. The players will enjoy the conditions.
Aaron hall in fat club? Or does he look like he is carrying something also (other than his gut)The boys are out now. Aaron Hall running laps. Griff, Tucker, Spicer, Corr, Howe in the rehab group.
