Hi Iva Bigun where do you see Trent McKenzie playing if KK is on the other half back flank.
Its a good question and I know Trent has been been looking at a change of role, I can't remember if he was looking at a mid or forward role :confused:

Can anyone else help gotassieboys out?

I personally think KK would be a good option on the wing.

It is on record he has elite running skills and has a decent left foot kick on him. I think this position would exploit his strengths and would allow his "younger frame" to develop without being smashed.

At this stage of his career being an outside running machine would benefit the team enormously.

Personally im reasonably happy with the top 22
I'd switch a few players around the ground and bench.. But that's about it.
Aaron hall wont be there round 1.. So opens up for boston garlett or miller
Interesting side, it's getting hard to fit them all in which can only b a good thing. I sorta disagree that T-Nic is #1, even tho I love him. Also quite like Jesse & Seb (younguns) and Broughts is more than serviceable, no doubt they will get a chance thru the season and where is Sunny_ 's man Herbert (potential there)..?
 
G'day lads, sorry if this isn't the appropriate thread.

I'm just chasing some news on Peter Wright, and how you guys think he might go this year (for SC purposes)

Is he a realistic chance to crack the odd game here or there? Obviously behind Smith and Nichols in the pecking order as a ruck, but it wouldn't be unrealistic to think he'll get a chance as a forward some time this year would it? Would have to be an injury to Charlie or Lynch for that to happen perhaps.

Churs.

Doubt he will play at all, unless he absolutely tears it up in the NEAFL
 
Trent is training with the backs and been working on adding some more muscle to his body. So perhaps more of a third-tall defender role rather than pure rebounder.
Surely McKenzie is too good at the attacking side of the game to be used as a negating defender? He's got very good foot speed on top of his excellent kick.

His knock is that he had no defensive side to his game whatsoever. Shocking in contested situations, often out-marked by those much smaller than him. I don't mind developing the necessary skills and strength to not concede a mark one-v-one body against body.

Trent sort of played as the 3rd tall defender last year aswell didnt he?

Im trying to think who your CHB is/was you have (Big red) Thompson. My mind has gone blank for now. Oh and May CHB/FB.

Another question, did Harbrow play on a wing more last year with KK coming into the side? or still roam down half back?

Im trying to think who your back 6 was last year? May, Thompson, Mckenzie, KK, ????, ?????

Lemmens, Broughton.

Harbrow played mostly midfield.

Very looking forward to seeing how a lot of our players go including Martin, Sexton, Hallahan, Malceski, Garlett, Miller, Wright, and Kade, how Rocket intends to play us, how our ruckmen go, and our delivery into the forward line. Does anyone know if the Indigenous Allstars game is being shown on the AFL app. Hoping some of our boys get a game in that too.

Edit: add Josh Glenn and Adam Saad to that list. Hope they get a go in the first match.
