Interesting Ollie mentioned spending more time behind the ball. Not sure to what extent that was meant but sounded like he really enjoyed playing there. Didn't sound overly optimistic about being an onballer in 2025, though I'm sure that's where he'd love to be playing. Mentioned spending some time inside over preseason but more to work on his body work.

I think he will thrive at HB. I was pushing for it last season

Last year run and creativity from defence was a major issue. Now we potentially have Ollie Wilson Smith Charleson Docherty Boyd Saad L.Campo as running options

Last pre season Ollie did a lot of work in the middle and looked good. Eventually I can see him playing there but it's good training for him anyway and will only help his game

He can push up to the midfield from halfback anyway. Can play with alot more freedom. Wing is really for role players these days and can be pretty unrewarding.

I think he could average 22+ possesions pretty easy at half back. We need an accumlator back there. Newman the only current guy that wins much ball.

I saw a few games last year where Ollie struggled for a while, able to get to contests but couldn’t impact them.

Definitely looked better when thrown in defence. I think there’ll be a lot of competition for defensive positions next year - will be interesting to see where he plays.
 
Gov likes it down back.

Not only likes it, but imo, getting better at it.

He's also a "big moment" player imo.

When the game's on the line, he wants to get involved and quite often does.
Sometimes does well in those moments and sometimes not, but he always wants to be involved in them.
The more exposure he gets to those big moments the more often he'll pull them off.

Without listing them, there are numerous times he is pivotal when the game is on the line and players like those (Acres another) are worth their weight in gold.

Really hope he stays back.

Moir going to be a weapon! Hope so anyway. Got all the right tools from what I've seen so far and just look at that physique. Genuine weapon.
Also, photo before Lord. If that's HOF, he's a big boy.

Why? Are we going to be playing him one out in the goal square?
I would say not.

Just thought he was a little light on in that area is all. Not a big deal. Only my view.
Will most likely add to it over pre-season no doubt.

You don't have to just play one out in the goal square to need upper body and arm strength.
He still needs to be strong enough in the arms for pushing off defenders and tackling.

Would have liked to have seen a bit more in the arms area. Bit more upper body strength.

Last year he looked like an absolute meatball and had the acceleration of a lawnmower so I'm glad to see him slimming down. Ultimately his job is to avoid contact and find space, not to get in a wrestle.
