    Training Preseason Training Thread - 2026

    I was replying to another post suggesting he should be captain now, this season!? I said he 'might' be captain next year, 'if he wants that mantle'? But I agree with you, and personally would prefer he wasn't a captain for a while, and concentrated on getting the most out of himself as a...

    Harley might be ready to captain next season, if he wants that mantle. I'm okay with Duggan as captain in meantime (changed my mind) as he seems set to remain in 23 this year. Just wish they'd put extra work into his (dump) kicking.

    And Harley's reply when asked what it depicted - "they're goalposts and that's me kicking a goal....as always!" That's one very focused midfielder!

    That was a good watch, some logistics involved. The art session was funny, Bob Ross eat your heart out!

    Expectations for 2026

    Always enjoy some optimism and it's hard not to have preseason rose-coloured glasses on, especially with the list we have now. Top 8, hmm....you must've got the expensive rose-coloured glasses? Agree, finishing above bottom 4 would be a great stage 1, if do-able? Not sure if it's such a...

    'Newton played the final two games of last season as a small forward and while he started out of the goalsquare( at training), he was part of a rotation with superstar Harley Reid that could be part of a new role for the 19-year-old...' This preseason and boosted player list promised to deliver...

    Prediction Best 23 - 2026 edition

    He's raising attention at training apparently. Would help our exit from the backline with that kick. Not sure of his other attributes. McCarthy was full of praise for Lindsay, saying it was likely he could play Rnd 1. Only 18 however. Interesting to watch the best 23 evolve over the preseason...

    I was on the Sharp train, but really glad we got CDT for what he promises to become. Can always get another quality or serviceable midfielder down the road, but CDT is a rarer beast. (a very loose and random comparison, but thinking another Dean Cox type)

    Training Preseason Training Thread - 2026

    It's not a contest here, no-ones trying to 'get you'? There was never any mention of him being a proven midfielder? Twisting the narrative there. You seem obsessed with getting people to admit they're wrong. Are you aware that you can reply to posts in a friendly if not polite tone, without...

    That's right, he played midfield in his teens as I said. Now you're agreeing with me after accusing me of being blatantly wrong. To say he's not a natural midfielder and shouldn't play there is just hubris on your part, contradicting the coach's opinion, who you'd think may be better informed...

    Just going off his history/bio, in his teen years. To suggest he would be no different to Duggan is lame . The coach has discussed it with him, presumably for good reason. For starters he has more upside than Duggan.

    Prediction Best 23 - 2026 edition

    Probably right re Duggan and Lindsay (at 18 yrs). Not sure about Graham on a wing? Champion and certainly TWilliams need more time to develop. Owies is coming from a way back, same with Long, leaves Newton. Unless you drop Baker into the forward line, great pressure, can kick goals; but I think...

    He's said he'd like to play mid at times. Mini has suggested it also. He played mid and forward in his early years. Ginbey's credentials as a mid didn't amount to much. Got lost.
