Hewett very impressive and arguably BOG. JSOS another one who just brought pressure and intensity to every contest, despite being undersized in a lot of match ups when the ball went towards him inside 50.
OMac looking very good and I have a feeling we'll play him over Young. Gov and Williams WILL bounce back. Lock in Kemp to play rd 1, and Philp to play early on in the season. Fisher will get a lot more midfield minutes and will star under Voss. Walsh was just Walsh. LOB will have a breakout year. Getting those games into Charlie last year has got his confidence way up, will be a huge factor in our success this season.
I'll combine all my posts from throughout the day into the no discussion thread.

So just to confirm… Marchbank is back in match sim?

Sorry, not actually match sim it was just a drill that was similar. Match sim happened later and he did not participate in it.

Thanks Ash for your observations. Is your opinion on LOB based on what you saw today? What did he do well?

I’ll be annoyed if we don’t see Philp and kemp round 1. We smashed that trade. Good Job SOS
A lot of names pressing for selection, be interesting to see how/where they all fit with the new MC.
Thanks Ash. How are our kicking and handballing skill's looking?

Hitting targets left and right. We all new he had a penetrating left foot kick but the way in which he was able to find targets inside 50 with pinpoint passes, just showed me how underutilised he was under Teague.

Will be very tough indeed, and that's why I'm looking forward to the scratch match on the 24th of Feb and then the practice game on the 3rd of March. Will be interesting to see who our MC go with.
Do we go for Gov or Kemp as our intercepting 3rd tall in defence? Does Philp get a game ahead of Owies or Honey? Do we have enough on-ballers to cut Kennedy/Dow and play LOB on the wing instead?

Thanks for the reports Ash24!
How are the defenders fighting for Jones' position going in the match sim?
What about the train on players, any of them putting their hand up for the last spot?
Who's the stand out small forward today?
Kemp has really good pace and dash. His height is a bonus. Can easily play as a running defender who also helps in the air.
Great prospect who gives us all sorts of options. 3rd tall, 4th tallish, or running rebounder.......or ALL 3.

Philp the forward, not a wing/on-baller.
Who will be favoured as the 2nd on-ball brigade + Ed still in the mix will leave a couple out + how our wings are utilised/selected.
Spots up for grabs down back & up forward with valid claims across the list to fill the positions.
Then the potential return of the rehab group in Stocker, Marchbank, Doc, DC.
Could he fill a wing position…?

Good:
Charlie is eye catching and looks supremely fit.
Gov very trim and moving the best he has at the club.
Philp was a real positive out of the session. Got to good spots and his kicking really seems to have improved a lot
Same with Durdin, high energy and looked much cleaner than the glimpses we saw last year
Kemp’s willingness to take the game on and his confidence is terrific. Will be a serious player
Don’t see how he gets a game without injuries, but Boyd is a beautiful kick of the footy.
Jsos continues to make good things happen wherever he goes, high effort and good decision maker
Not so good:
I’m not sold on Young. Good size but takes an eternity to get the ball on to his boot and when he does it’s an adventure.
Willo is a terrific athlete, but he made a couple of really lazy skill errors which in season we can’t afford. Not sure where he sits just yet this year
Generally a little disappointed with the skill level by foot, but it’s preseason and the ground was obviously wet so they deserve some slack
Overall thoughts:
Enjoyable session. They kept drills to no longer than around 10 minutes but the boys were on the park for near enough to 3 hours so a solid hit out. Obviously there’s a lot going on so it’s hard to take too much away but it was pleasing to see some younger players taking a step forward and a pretty small list of non participants.
Quickly on the train on players: Tyreece Leiu is miles ahead of younger Cripps for me. Did a few nice things while Josh looks years away.

Not sure he has the running stamina yet. But in time, yes.
He stated pre christmas that ideally he eventually wants to move up the field, but while building an AFL mids tank, he will learn his craft down back short term.

For most of the day OMac was on Harry, Weiters was on Charlie and Young was on JSOS.
If I was a betting man I'd say either Leiu or one of the VFL boys like Ned Cahill will take the last spot.
Stand out small forward would be Fisher, but he played a fair bit of time in the middle too. Durdin and Philp were quite decent as well. Most of our smalls were quiet, I felt the match sim was dominated my most of our mids.

It was alright. I definitely noticed a lot more "bullet passes" which were fast and low to the ground. Coaches were screaming at players to take risks so we're definitely looking to take the game on a lot more with our kicking.
One thing however which was somewhat disappointing were our entries inside 50. Some of them were banging it on the boot and we're still struggling with goal accuracy and applying pressure i50 in order to retain possession.

Don’t think we need to be looking at Ned Cahill types, where we’re covered, when we have other pressing list management gaps to address.
Someone like a Jack Hayes should have been looked at.
