No Cunnington in Slobbo's top 50. Brown 30, Higgins 33.

I must have missed when Jack Viney passed Cunners as a footballer.

He is picking who he thinks will be the top 50 in 2019, not who he thinks are the top 50 right now.

A typically knowledgable, thorough preview of our season from Rohan Connelly. Has us 7th, but admits that could be conservative.

I am told the Snivelling Sycophant, aka Whateley, said the new 50m rule is ok and the players just need to adapt to it. as expected.

The text book company man.

We need to teach Atley to play for frees. I'm serious. Finally found a usable niche for his straight line burst and speed. Duck into some bullshit in the back 50 then run like god intended and either unleash forward before the opposition can effectively counter or simply get another 50 and slot it himself.

It's a ******* farce.

Are the media overrating Pittard? I would have LMac and EVW ahead of him, but that is only my opinion. Can he play tall and short? EVW can play taller (because he is tallish), but I dont know if JPit has the strength.
No Turner too!! His defensive pressure is better than anyone on our list, so would think he gets in!!

OMG - I forgot to even mention Turner! My point exactly, so many options and yoiu can cut it so many ways.

Anyhow - I dont think they are overatting Pittard, I think they are assuming we will play him , having chased him for a few years and brought him in for a reason.

Time will tell if hes overrated!
