A bigger deal out west.
He will get in for Dougy about round 3-5
I reckon you may just be on the money there, seeing there is a fair bit of similarity between the two.

Has a lot to do with the type Hately is I reckon, one of those industrious ball winners who does a lot of good, but doesn't tend to do much which stands out.
Keath has a lot of upside imo and will play around 20 games this year barring injury. Keath also showed tonight that he has a good leap and is the better option going forward. Don needs to say to Keath if he is the preferred option, "Where backing you in for the first 10 matches, show us what you can do". I feel he will play better knowing 1 mistake will not cost him selection. Kyle has peaked and unfortunately lacks composure and kicking efficiency. There will be games he is played but I don't see him as first choice 22.The most significant factor tonight was our change in structure. Basically we have replaced a tall in the forward line with a small. Sadly The FOG may have to be patient.
So.... Keath is not in our best 22? Why did we play him on the oppositions best forward for much of the night?
Luke Brown is a big loss but we might play Hartigan on the oppositions best medium/small forward rather than Kelly.
Unless there are injuries, it looks like it comes down to tonights squad minus ROB, CEY and FOG plus Greenwood.
Assuming THE MIGHTY THOR comes in, who are the last two to miss out.
Murphy, Douglas, Jones, Kelly, Hartigan or Keath?
My choice is Kelly and Douglas (not gunna happen).
Watch round 23 against Carlton last year anyone who thinks Gallucci is not best 22. I know Carlto are s**t but Gallucci is easily best 22 when fit. The question is though whether Mcadam's aerial ability (once fit) is a greater asset to the team as our contested marking can be suspect in the forward line.He will get in for Dougy about round 3-5
And went at half pace for a fair bit too.
We don't seem to be showing our full hand at kickouts for some reason.
That was Atkins wasn’t it?
I haven’t felt this confident since we smashed the pies in a game in Dubai many years ago.
Observations:
1. Sailor jerry is a nice alternative to captain morgan. Same pirate clan so it’s all above board right ?
2. The exuberance of youth made the young players perform. Douglas is a veteran, we will need his experience when the pressure is on
3. Only 2 weeks to go right ?
I thought he was gonna he absolute horrendous in 2018 based on his preseason form. Could not have given less of a crap in those JLT games.Jenkins had a typical lazy pre-season game early, but I was very pleased with his effort in the third when he chased a very fast oppo player all the way to the wing, and then chased another, just restraining himself from clipping him around the ear, contributing to a breakdown of their attack at half-forward. He also threw his body around in the ruck more than usual.
I was totally unaware of him during the match. However, when they were reading out the names of the players of both teams at the start, there was very loud cheering from behind for only one player: Hately! Perhaps his family was there?
I had exactly the same thought about the kickouts. This was another area where we didn't look too good. There was not too much running clear and playing on, although Smith clearly wanted to on occasion. Part of the reason was that GWS had all their players down there as well, really clogging it up.
In fact, the 666 did very little in this match. Much of the time, all 36 players were in a quarter of the playing area! There was a lot of flooding.
Will be interesting to see how it plays out. It certainly is looking that way initially, but it's still early. If the AFL don't get what they are after do they double down and enforce 6-6-6 at all stoppages ?? I highly doubt they scrap the starting positions now that they are in.Don't expect 666 to do much at all in matches with good quality sides. It may however have the unintended consequence of causing more beltings.

What’s wrong with him? Thought he was very knowledgeable and actually just calls the play.
I could not believe my ears when I heard this.Questioning if Milera was best 22 in the first quarter, then we had "Milera has answered that question" in the last quarter.
Come on, anyone that just follow footy even a little bit would know Milera is starting 18 for us, a paid commentator certainly should.
Sorry if your post was being sarcastic not serious.
There's not a snowballs chance in hell that coaches are going to cave to the AFLs misguided efforts to force "one on one footy". The game is about controlling the ball. There's nothing to be gained from a long bomb that can be turned over with everyone caught forward of the play. Zones have pushed back a little, but it's basically the same set up as it always has been.I had exactly the same thought about the kickouts. This was another area where we didn't look too good.

It was always the thin edge of the wedge. In two years time it will be netball with forced zones. Good times... notWill be interesting to see how it plays out.

The only thing that'll work is by getting coaches to change their mind on tactics. I remember last year Collingwood and Brisbane had a free flowing shootout that they won 121-114. Everyone raved what a great match it was and in the after match presser Buckley was beyond pissed they'd run the score up so high and weren't controlling the ball more. All Buckley does in a 6-6-6 formation is have the winger immediately push pack and sends a forward straight up and within 10 seconds of the ball being thrown up its like the rule doesn't exist anyway.You'd be thinking the AFL would give it a few years to let the dust settle, however, your main problem with any of these ideas is that fundamentally, ides like pressure and defensive set up are much easier to replicate methods to win games then just going for the shootout.
That said, it may end up being inevitable that we end up having a netball set up of positions being enforced. It'd be and utterly stupid, but the AFL is chasing an utterly stupid goal of trying to make this game more reminiscent to the '80s instead of accepting that era is dead, buried and won't ever come back.
Will go down in crowklore with parvovirusIf only he had played that grand final
How can that be? He kicked it into the man on the mark at least twice.
Milera did it too.Been to specsavers?
Fair sure that was Atkins
Teams know thats a massive strength for us I guess.I had exactly the same thought about the kickouts. This was another area where we didn't look too good.
