We needed to add depth here, wanna take a look @ the last 2 premiers..?
Well said, I was too abrupt and you've nailed it.As well as what look like good outside additions, the improved depth will come from having fewer new kids. Over the past couple of years we have had a fairly big number of listed players who were very raw - project types.
GFC likes to ease these types in the game. Often some were rested even if not injured. Added to injuries to a number of senior players the side played quite a few games with far fewer listed players than the opposition fielded. It is a credit to players like Tsitas, Hickey, Reid, Atkins and Edwards that we stayed in some of those games for a long time before dropping off.
This year the 2/3 year kids will be played and expected to improve further. Only the new 2 or 3 to get the
kid gloves.
If a couple of the last year senior players are forced back and the forever injured get out there it promises to be a fun season.
Very interesting. Thanks.VFL Team 2018 - Possible Best 22
FB House, Gardner, O'Connor/Capiron
HB Constable/Edwards, Siggins, Thurlow/Zuthrie
C Murdoch/Cunico, GHS/Kiel, Gore/Tsitas
HF Dobson/Henry, Stanley/Buzza, Black/Crameri
FF Gregson/McCarthy, Ratugolea, Miers/Fogarty
RR Abbott, Parsons, Keras
Rookie/Senior Inter: Hayball, Jones, Narkle, Simpson etc.
VFL Inter: Atkins, Blood, Kol,
2017 Falcons: Floyd, Garner, ??
* The interchange are probably our weakest 4 players on our Senior/Rookie list....
Looking pretty strong for VFL grade.
Form slumps might see these players rotate through the VFL: Guthrie, Blicavs, Menzel, Parfitt, etc
I thought Simpson showed good signs also, especially his attack on the footy, but he needs to seriously build up to be more competitive at AFL level. I think blokes like Keras, Tsitas, Kiel are ahead of him though for now, until he bulks up that is. Even Gore will perform pretty good at VFL, he wasnt that bad in the SANFL...Very interesting. Thanks.
I assume you have removed the best 22 (in your eyes ) from the VFL selections . If so just the fact that you can name 2 players in so many positions is a positive sign. Jones will play all games when fit IMO. High half forward tackling machine. Simpson is an AFL challenger he would go on to a wing IMO. Gore has some catching up to do - on to the bench for him.
Anyway even a small run of injuries will see everyone get their time. They will know they have to put in tho.
Should I be excited Rabbs?
Just read the signed names in the Addy article listed above (thanks Rabbi).
If Capiron, C Floyd, Tsitas, Reid, Gow, Dobson and Atkins are on board already - the main ball winning ability and some of the flashy stuff is going around again. Plus the 4 add ins announced weeks ago. interesting - its going to be hard to get a gig from here.
The two newbies are from country Vic too. Good to see.
Bring on 2018 season.
I don't know much about Domic either but there was some spruiking prior to the draft and he could be a surprise packet -
Domic is a fantastic signing. Very unlucky not to be drafted.
There could be a diamond in the rough amongst that trio.Don't know much about these signings, maybe some more youngsters...
