G'day everyone!
Though I would post a couple of things I have noticed during my visits to training so far this pre season, I am really going to miss sitting under the fig trees with my coffee when I head back to work next week, especially as it is probably my last time watching the boys train...
If anyone just watched On the couch I hope you had as much of a laugh as I did. The panel ultimately wrote us off as premiership contenders and had a huge piece lead by Healy on West Coast and their 'web defence'. Healy usually isn't too bad to us but his infatuation with anything west coast is...
Although I would have like to see a Goddard or during picked up I'm really happy with the quality of players we drafted today. Weller will hopefully challenge D Pearce for a spot in the 22 soon and Blakely is pretty much ready to go and could make a difference to our midfield next year. Not too...
What are people's thoughts on cockatoo with our first pick if we were to go for a mid? Has missed a lot of footy this year due to injury which means he will slide. Could be a very very good player with a bit of an X factor. Personally I don't think we are a chance of getting Pickett as the...
I went and had a quick look today too, but I think Grape Bear covered most of it nicely.
It was good to see Mora in full training, joining in with all of the agility work and the ball work with the rest of the boys. Brady Gray really does have tree trunks for legs so I think he will be running...
I really like the look of Hourigan, I know it might be reaching with our first pick but if McCarthy and Gardiner are gone I wouldn't be unhappy if we picked him up
Do you think if we traded Michie and Mello to the same club, i.e saints or Melbourne; would those together be able to get a second round upgrade? Then we could have a shot at a tall like MCCarthy and then pick up another top 30 mid as this draft is apparently quite deep in terms of midfielders...
Would be delighted if we got either McCarthy or Hourigan, preference with McCarthy tho because he is a Souths boy. I think marsh will slip to a second round but not sure whether he will slip far enough for us
In all honesty I think I'm going to be happy with whoever we draft with pick 17 out of the guys discussed
If we dont pick a tall out of Shaw, Jaksch, Corr, Stringer or Plowman then we are still going to be left with a very good midefielder with Simpson, Garlett, Hrovat, Menzel, Vlastuin or...
Just saw the write up on the afl website about Tim Membrey, what's everyones thoughts on him? Think he would be great if he slipped to our second pick but I doubt that will happen
