Agree on Kennedy's kicking. I think a big part of his problem is he takes too much of a wind up. Okay in U18, but taking an extra split second in the seniors considerably increases chances of a smotherer or extra tackle pressure. Needs to get it quicker and neater to boot.

Jamie Elliott. I think he'll kick less goals next year, but he'll be rotated through the midfield a bit more. He is one who can hit Cloke lace out.

It's strange seeing the name Thomas mentioned so many times.
It always takes me a moment to compute that it's not 'he who is no longer allowed to be mentioned'

I'm thinking the loss of Shaw and Thomas will demand a rebound player like Seedsman or Williams to really stand up.

I think they'll both start to get more recognition next year certainly and will be handed greater responsibility but I see both Seedsman and Williams as established players now. Their breakout years I felt were last year with both coming into their own.
Yer, pick 11 would have been better, is it too late to reverse the trade?

I keep always writing J.Thomas then remembering I don't have to do that any more
There's something else to be excited about. Young and Tooves are just like two new recruits.

Why do people want to see fasolo as a defender? Such a naturally brilliant forward and I don't think he has ever played defence in his life

Exactly, we need his creativity forward since Mooney doesn't look like making it.
Well I don't know why others want to see it, but I think he's as well suited to the position as Leon Davis was. He's strong in 1:1 contests, reads the ball well and generally makes good decisions. His kicking is elite and would service our forwards perfectly as well as solving the kick-in debate. I'm not saying Fasolo should never be used up front but I'd like to see him win his place first in defence and then become an option we can use if necessary. I agree that some players just "aren't defenders" (I don't think Young or Seedsman have the defensive grunt required) but Fasolo has a little mongrel in him and I believe that a move to the back six would unlock another dimension for us.

Broomy to 'break in' to the team. Fasolo to come back and remind us of how good he can be. Marley to become one of the league's most feared small defenders. And Adams to excel in the Pies environment. But the biggest 'break out' year of all will be Grundy's. The kid is so aggressive and hungry. His attitude will drive him to (literally) great heights.

Also sick of waiting for Sidey's break out year. He better get on with it.
