Opinion Your 2026 R1 team
I can’t pick the best 23 yet. 2 games against Cats & Lions will have biggest say but I really hope a lot of new younger guys step up. Chesser Byrne Wilson Ison Jagga Dean Carroll are names I would like to see at the start of the season and IMO are well in the mix at this stage of pre season -
Opinion Your 2026 R1 team
The only thing I can read is the combinations we are playing on each side Weitering is always with Dean McKay is always with O'Keefe & Hayward Jagga & Walsh are always together with Cripps -

Has some sort of minor "clean up" as well and is feeling good now -

I really don't know what we will do Harry & HOK look the two talls to me. Will they play two rucks? They have been trying it Can we play Hayward & Kemp in same side? Young looks like HB/Wing in match sims and has been impressive Chesser looks Mid/Wing and has been solid without starring. Needs... -
Hot Topic Michael Voss - Coaching in 2026. Should he remain beyond that?
Couldn't agree more. Been a massive frustration and the worse it got the more Voss doubled down on it. Contest, Kick it Long, Contest, Kick it Long............................................. If he does this with what we have now he won't last long at all -

Hayward and Ainsworth have been very good. They just know what to do Frankie I haven't seen a lot Byrne really impresses me. Gets up the ground, tackles and great left foot. Has real energy. I reckon he plays early O'Keefe very good. McKay looks fit but just doing his bit Kemp has looked very... -
List Mgmt. 2026 List Management
Looks okay. Few give him wraps and has improved but I don't think he's ready yet. Monahan has improved a fair bit but behind a fair few others. JMO -
List Mgmt. 2026 List Management
If we have a fit list going into season I have no issue going in with a spot spare. No rush, get to see many players in games and as we have really added to our VFL side another player isn't a neccessity -
List Mgmt. 2026 List Management
I really like our list. Best balanced I have seen in a long while Feel we need another genuine KPP and/or Ruck but it's a good mix of youth and experience with a lot of talent. Certainly better skilled than before. A good coach and standards would get this list into Finals IMO -
Hot Topic Michael Voss - Coaching in 2026. Should he remain beyond that?
His Hamstrings were a major issue. Had no confidence in them. Now he seems fine and his ball use during pre season has been as good as I have seen from him Also hard to judge how good a kick inside 50 someone is when they are told to just bomb it long -
Hot Topic Michael Voss - Coaching in 2026. Should he remain beyond that?
There has been definite changes. Just how much I don't know IMO Voss isn't the right coach to be a modern thinker or ahead of the game in terms of game plan. If we are to change and be a lot better it will be on the back of him handing over planning and structure to one or some of the assistants. -

In the Match Sims McKay & O'Keefe are always on the same side and have been swapping between playing deep and up the ground. O'Keefe has played deep the most out of square where Harry is more mobile and moving around -

Deep forward and struggling to impact Will need to step up in Practice Matches to get a game. I reckon he is fighting with Hayward & Kemp for one spot -
Training 2026 Pre-Season Training - reports, pics etc
The mix will be very interesting O'Keefe & McKay Then taller players like Kemp Hayward Moir Ison and Cripps has been pushing forward in Match Sims Pittonet Reidy & Young have been working on Forward craft as well Then the "Smalls" Ainsworth Evan Byrne Fogarty and Jagga Walsh Cerra have all been...
