Picken
I like this Fronky, I think we need to start moving away from the Murphy dependency across half back... I'd like to see Murph play the Coons role on a wing and half forward... I wonder if Fuller gets more of a look in now... Could play a Guerra (sorry about the spelling) type role??I'm leaning more and more towards the drink moving roughead forward.
I think Talia, Morris and Roberts all start round 1.
Picken back into the midfield. Murphy into the midfield as well. I think he'll put a lot of time into trying to develop Biggs, Darley and wood.

I've got faith in him, Ended up having a double shoulder reconstruction at the end of this season so clearly he has hampered.I'm rooting for fuller. But my god he made James mulligan look like a rockstar last year. Worst player I've seen on our list. Ever.
He can't be that bad so im hoping for a massive, massive improvement this season, but he has a LONG way to go to be in the frame for selection. Hope he gets there
Talia's criminally underrated on this board. He won't just establish himself, he's actually be a very good AFL-standed key defender.
Our key defender issues won't be as significant if he can take that number 1 key defender spot which I'm confident he will this very season with a new coach.

i've got doubts on talia's ability full stop. this is a guy who played in the VFL all year and reportedly didn't poll top 10 in his side's B&F. he's not skinny or underdeveloped. he's not late to the sport. he hasn't been battling OP or any other some such. it just says to me that he ain't that great.
he's fit, and when he's at the contest, he defends well. he's a good reader of the ball in the air. but he's slower than a wet week. he can't kick. but most of all, he doesn't seem to have a fire in him to overcome his deficits (like morris has, like picken has).
i appreciate i'm in the minority on talia, and would love to be proven wrong. we're waifer thin down back in key posts - we need him to stand up.
appreciate that most feel talia is still a long term CHB - i'm far from convinced. he does have some impressive traits. happy to be proven wrong....
Mofra, do you remember who he was playing on in the Port game in 2013? It was his best game for us and if memory serves correctly he predominantly played smaller. I'm of the opinion that he plays his best footy when he's running relatively free and racking up 15-20 touches and that's certainly what he did against Port.I'm on my lonesome here, but I don't think he's a key defender.
He scrapes in at 193cm and apparently has quite sort arms for his height - his best defensive work is cutting off opposition kicks and positioning without the tight body work that is required of a genuine key defender (hence B-Mac wanting him to develop another side of his game prior to a senior recall).
He has a position with us as most teams have 4 190+cm forwards these days and he's quick enough to play on mid-sized forwards. his kicking will never be a feature but has improved.
The main problem is the talls we have that are decent enough kicks (Roberts better than decent) are slow and will get killed by fast leading forwards, and looking at McDonald in the draft accounts may not fix that problem.

He also played very well against GWS a few weeks later, got a RS nomination off 32 touches, forgot his opponent though?Mofra, do you remember who he was playing on in the Port game in 2013?

Can't remember unfortunately, but it was certainly no gorilla.Mofra, do you remember who he was playing on in the Port game in 2013?

That explains it then...I'm pretty sure it was John Butcher.
Honestly, I would go relatively tall against that setup.I always use the Hawthorn forward line as an example. What match ups would we go for??:
Roughie - Talia
Hale - Roughead
Gunston - Morris
Breust - Wood
Rioli - Darley
Puopolo - Biggs
Not a fan of wood??Honestly, I would go relatively tall against that setup.
Roughead - Roberts
Hale - Roughead
Gunston - Talia
Breust - Morris
Rioli - Picken
Puopolo - Biggs
He'd be in the rotation but I don't think he has a fantastic matchup there.Not a fan of wood??
