Chuck a few key forwards like Pav in the back pocket and you have yourself an AA team.

Got it clearly wrong on Seedsman. Becoming a well rounded and dangerous footballer.
I think he always has been. His body is just finally allowing him to do it consistently.

Guess we’ll find out more later today..
Roo said Seedsman doesnt have a hammy, but it's in the same spot as the injury he struggled with last year.
Not good news if it is. Think they will maybe put him on ice unti after the bye also in order to nip this in the bud before it blows out again.

No, it's his adductor.
I don't give a crap what mysterious muscle we claim is injured. If it is hamstring, or adductor, or any other.
The issue is the number of soft tissue injuries.

Seedsman had hip surgery when he was much younger. Turns out it was discovered his hips are slightly out of alignment. The options were surgery again, or the strengthening program he went through last year. In an interview he mentioned this year was the first time for a long time he’d been able to string together multiple games essentially pain free.
The current injury may well be related to his historical problems?
What number is that now for Groin injuries this year? At least 4 by my count, to go along with 9-10 hamstrings? Major issues with our conditioning program, were some signs last year, but gotten worse this year.
Players are briefed by the club what to and not to say in interviews.
But we’ll see what happens. It’s not like we haven’t played blokes with hamstring strains before...

It was noted Seed was there kicking the ball around.

Who would have thought this bloke would become one of our most important players.
We wouldn't have won on Sunday, in fact the first 5 goal would likely have happened still, but the linebreaking pace and long kicking could have mitigated some damage later on.
Hopefully he plays this week.

Anarchy for the AFC, it's coming sometime...
One of our most important players now. For me, Laird and Seed have been our best two this year - Doedee/Talia, not far behind.

ESPN really across things in the AFL. Seedsman named at half-back in the "AFL's Most Underrated Players" for 2018.

Well, he's also in AFL.com.au's round 11 AA team, so he's not that underrated.

It was more that they named him at half-back that cracked me up. Half the AFL media seem to think that's where he's playing.

CEY is a beast.
Well, you have to fit 15 midfielders and 2 KPPs into the team, + 4 more mids on the bench. Doesn't leave much room.

Happy to see that negotiations are reportedly progressing well for Seedsman's next contract. He definitely makes a difference to our ball movement, with his ability to break the lines with his run, carry and big kick. That he can kick a goal from 60m out is a big plus too.
