[The Nostradamus]

Hey guys, sorry to intrude...
Assume this bloke is playing in the guts? On ball midfielder yeah?

Yep for the next decade

Sweet, I’m picking him next in my fantasy draft then... surprised he hasn’t been picked already so I’m wrapped to get him so late (pick 120)

Massive bargain!

Very very good work.

 

[Karp3_dm]

Thanks guys! Sounds like he just needs to stay on the park and I’m laughing
What a bargain!

Given her last beau was Jackson Warne, she's certainly moving up in the world.

Had to look up who this is.

How did he give qualify as C-grade celeb?

 

[Val Keating]

It’s the kava..

I literally forgot I wrote that and reading it back I don’t even know what I was on about.

 

[shinboner magic]

Absolutely. Expect Cunnington, Simpkin, and LDU to be the starting midfield combination.

In the praccy game last Friday- jed was in there more than LDU in the first half.
Jy and cunners were at every centre bounce till cunners went off

 

[Jesslc]

Midfield will be just fiiiiiiine.

Would love to see TT get solid time in the midfield this season. Those skills, decision making, and X factor can get wasted in a deep forward role. If he can get his average disposals up to 15 plus this year that will be great for us.

So far in match sim he's been playing high hf and a bit of wing. Hopefully that is sign of what is to come as he's basically playing a midfield type role.

Thanks for the insight. Would love to see that replicated in the season proper. TT, CT, and JS can all rotate through that high half forward/wing midfield type role.

He’s been rotating with Stephenson from wing/forward. It works well

That's actually his position, he just starts him in different spots at the ballups.

Fair enough. Watched the match sim on Friday, Stephenson & Thomas were swapping quite a bit

There you go, both are high half forwards.

I reckon swinging around their ball up starting positions is potentially a smart move, but that's all it is.

Almost every clip now has shades of Wells or Cunnington in preseason vibe - just a step above.

Slightly aroused.

There was a second clips where he went through 2 blokes, had the ball knocked out of his hands at the last moment but regathered the ball and dished off a handball. Exciting.

 

[Psicosis]

Looks genuinely like he's about to explode.

I know I know Pre Season.

But f*** me.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Beyond excited to see him play this year, the slow build is coming to a head.

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

It's so good to have LDU and Jy both coming through at the same rate of improvement, same level, effectively the same position on the field.

They will be able to feed and take pressure off each other and hopefully push each other to higher levels.

2 genuine (potential yet) guns - both top 10 picks - jy with the step, LDU with the explosiveness.

They are the reason (together with the older heads Goldie, Jed, Polec and Cunners) I think our midfield will be ranked highly - 6-10 - this year.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Explosion imminent.
