He has locked down a few times a couple of years ago in Rockets first few gamesI just can't have KK as a defender
I have never seen him defend!
It's a good point. Looked like the Brownlow favourite for a quarter and a half and unsighted thereafter.Was Saadie alright at the end? Looked abut tender in the groin region and was struggling to keep up with his opponent.
You missed Nicholls and Ainsworth in the twos as well... I like your thoughts here, be nice to drip feed in the young talent, really make them earn it.. Also, guys like Joyce and Sexton and to a lesser degree Lonergan and Ahchee deserve first crack..With all our pre-season games done, here is what I would settle on.
B: J.Joyce, R.Thompson, T.Mckenzie
HB: K.Kolodjashnij, S.May, A.Saad
C: P.Hanley, M.Barlow, D.Swallow
HF: J.Martin, T.Lynch, A.Sexton
F: G.Ablett, P.Wright, C.Ah Chee
R: J.Witts, T.Miller, A.Hall
Int: J.Lyons, J.Lonergan, B.Fiorini, M.Rosa
Em: S.Lemmens, J.Schoenfeld, M.Shaw
Tried to avoid using any first year players and went with hardened bodies instead. If Ainsworth wasn't coming off with pneumonia I probably could have found a spot for him instead of probably Ah Chee, but I want experience early on. Our 2nds team is going to look great.
B: S.Lemmens, J.Leslie, M.Willis
HB: J.Scrimshaw, K.Brooksby, M.Spencer
C: J.Schoenfeld, W.Brodie, M.Shaw
HF: B.Matera, C.Loersch, R.Davis
F: D.Macphearson, J.Grant, B.Ainsworth
R.: D.Currie, J.Bowes, B.Scheer
Int: M.Hallahan, Other GC Academy Prodcuts
Inj: M.Rischitelli, J.Harbrow, S.Day
If we can stay healthy and get back Rischi and Harbrow without any more massive losses on the injury front, we will be looking good.
Thanks, put Ainsworth in the forward pocket and forgot Nicholls cause he probably isn't going to be ready by Round 1.You missed Nicholls and Ainsworth in the twos as well...

Without Harbs and TMac you can actually understand why Rocket is pushing Lemmens as hard as he can
The cupboards pretty bare down back
I think when there was so much injury carnage last year and we were desperately selecting anyone it was difficult to see what was really needed
We've solved the forwards and mids and key backs (jury still kind of out on Thommo) but now the focus will be on creating a premiership defence
Should've focused on building the defence first.Without Harbs and TMac you can actually understand why Rocket is pushing Lemmens as hard as he can

I also think Ainsworth & Brodie will just miss out on Rd1 for bigger more experienced bodies.
Joyce/Lemmens/Bowes probs fighting for 2 spots in the backline.
B. Saad, May, Joyce
HB. Bowes, Thompson, Kolo
C. Swallow, Barlow, Rosa
HF. Ablett, Lynch, Martin
F. Ah Chee, Wright, Miller
R. Witts, Hanley, Hall
Int: Lyons, Sexton, Fiorini, Lonergan
Emg: Ainsworth, Brodie, Leslie, Lemmens
Return via NEAFL: McKenzie, Harbrow, Nicholls
Backline still a bit inexperienced as we saw against the Doggies when pressure steps up. But if our new midfield depth works hard and sweeps through down back, should alleviate the issue until Harbrow/McKenzie return.
Can always swing Hanley/Swallow onto the back flanks if really needed?
I guess there is also the chance Leslie stays in and plays as the 2nd key defender, allowing May to be the roaming 3rd tall rebounder crashing packs and causing general chaos? A bit like our set up versus the Doggies last Thursday.
Small?Will be horses for courses with Leslie , cant see him playing Brissy , they have a small forward line , think Schache is missing as well.
Small?
Schache, hipwood, walker and close.. few big boys there
