Stratts always gets Betts
TD’s point has been missed, I reckon.Not sure Port Adelaide would be prepared to lend us Burton, even if it's only round 1...

Makes me wish they had 2x BettsDimma a good match up.
I want impy to be hff/inside mid. Was really damaging early in the year doing that role. Then when playing back went missing and we didn't really get the best out of him.Yep, so I just can't see how Scrimshaw gets into the team, at least at Round 1
Sicily - Frawley - Stratton
Hardwick - Brand - Impey
Throw in someone like Morrison too, and Birchall getting fit maybe.
In the Intra Club, they trialled KB in the first half and TO in the second. I reckon we will go in with two talls, my tip is KB. The two talls pretty much play 95% going by previous years.
It then comes down to Scrimshaw sharing a spot with the remaining four which is how I reckon it will pan out.
Even against Walker, Jenkins, Lynch combo?
Only one of those is capable of taking a contested mark dude. Don't let Wakers size fool you, he is a hit up forward. Lynch plays high half forward.
Hasn't had the tank in the past to play that role.....I want impy to be hff/inside mid. Was really damaging early in the year doing that role. Then when playing back went missing and we didn't really get the best out of him.
Scrimshaw or Wingard?Bookmark it: we have replaced Burton with a trade for our fourth round pick.
Burton will become a top player, but you can't forgo that kind of value trade that then enables you to acquire one of the elite players of the competition entering his prime years.
Sorry man, but completely incorrect. Clarko has consistently demonstrated he will not play Brand and Frawley in the same side. I'd go as far to say 95% of the time over the past three years only one has played. Won't happen.
Stratton and Sicily have played as a second tall when needed.
Burton was definitely given more of a shut down role in defense last year.Burton was the one that did that for mine, more than Stratts or Sicily.

I’m not so sure of that. Will be a good backflanker.Burton will become a top player.
Brand and Chip played rounds 18 to 22. We won all those games. Brand steps up, he'll play.
Or, maybe that pairing was trialled in the intra club for absolutely no reason.

My gut agrees with you. I think he's going to be one I'm watching out for the most in the pre-season games. The others (Chad, Scully, etc.) we know what we're expecting. This fella is more of an unknown.I would be shocked if he doesn’t play Round 1. Perfect opportunity for him to play as many games as possible until Birchall comes back if he even manages to come back from injury. He was recruited for this exact reason anyway as Birchall’s long term replacement.
I think Scrimshaw will have no problem having an impact straight away with Sicily getting most of the attention from opposition teams it gives Scrimshaw the chance to be the other half back flanker. If he can play 10-15 games this year that as a big tick for his development. Let’s not forget he’s still only 20.
For mine, Scrimshaw will make a player. He's too talented not to.
He'll be an absolute weapon off Half Back; in fact, I'd almost go as far as to say that a Sicily and Scrimshaw duo would be the best attacking combination we've ever had off half back in the AFL era.
Not only do they both have lethal kicking, on potential Scrimshaw also has that Sicily-esque reading of the ball.
Fingers crossed we get to see that in 2019.
Not to mention gibbo and mitchellBirchall, Guerra, Hodge, Ladson say hi.
Not to mention gibbo and mitchell
It also looks like teams will playing more talls in their fwd line this year so i think we will see a lot more of the Frawley/Brand duo. I thought towards the end of last year they played quite well together.
