Campbell Amartey and Florent have starred imo

Adams I have barely seen

Corey Warner playing the typical HHF role of doing 5 things in 5 minutes then not being seen for 10 minutes but man he looks good

Adams laid the perfect tackle in the forward line and kicked a goal from the resultant free. His teammates were super congratulatory but his calls and leads seemed to be usually ignored. I struggle to see far, so I can only say what I noticed in the pocket I was near.

Defence size will be a worry imo
I don't think so when everyone is fit. We have Edwards, Snell, Andrew, McCartin, Melly, Francis and Hamling. I think that's enough. Remember when Richards and Reg were up and comers? Well, they weren't seen as being much good and our mainstay was LRT. They all went on to play in a Premiership together. Richards was seen, at 193, to be a bit short, playing on 200cm Buddy but it worked. It's not how tall you are, as long as you above 193cm, it is how smart you are. Edwards is 197cm and if he can stay fit I think he will break through for games this year.
 
This is such a wild thing to say, even by the media's standards. We haven't played a proper game and could still end up wooden spooners this year for all we or they know.

We won a pre-season match. Premiership is already a lock. Not sure what you're complain about. Premierships are always won in February

I hope this is the year where Campbell starts to nail some consistency, alongside being a predominant forward.

Playing him as a small defender has most definitely built the defensive edge of his game. Watching him today makes you realise again how smooth and zippy he is in traffic, it’s game changing. Fingers crossed he can up his production.

His opponent constantly ran off him out of defence too. I'm afraid he's no cert for round 1.

Yeah if one or two of Andrews, Snell, Edwards emerge we are laughing

How do you get that? Edwards will break through this season. Was our best VFL defender last season. Snell is a good developing Key Defender. Andrew looks impressive and could break through too.


Bare was OTT but all the listed people are untried and we have seen VFL/practice footy from, it's great if one makes it and we need it, but look at how long it took our current tall defenders to become reliable senior players, that's all I am saying.

I know we have seen some good stuff in a practice muck around , I hope you are right that Amartey kicks a ton and three untried defenders are superstars, but odds are in 2025 we are only as good as Melican, Mccartin, Rampe go as tall defenders. Francis blergh, Hamling maybe

If we lose to Hawthorn in opening round the same reporter will talk about our sinking ship and grand final scars.
 
Sometimes a part of me thinks Peter Ladhams could still be a consistent senior ruckman.

But I also like to put peanut butter and bacon on one spoon and eat it , so who knows
