If this washing line is anything to go by then North by 3 pairs of underpants

 

[ferball]

Not having a go at phillips

In retrospect the Phillips pick might of been better to take a tall - like McDonald and DGB.
Only reason I’m saying this is that we have a stacked midfield coming through and taking a required tall for team balance has merit.
Don’t want to hear take best player - crows were seriously thinking of taking Logan. So there wasn’t much between them.

We didn't know we were getting JHF tho.

 

[WesternRoo]

Will go like this I'm guessing:

Ziebell - Walker - Turner

Hayden - Corr - Hall

McDonald - Greenwood - Taylor

Stephenson - Zurhaar - Thomas

Mahoney - Larkey - Horne

Goldstein - LDU - Simpkin

Xerri - Polec - Scott - Young

Sub - Powell

(IMO)
No way we could go with Hayden , and have Powell out of the side & a Sleevo still in the side .

And no way you’re moving Lmac out of defence after last week.

 

[The acurate one]

Was surprised CCJ didn't grab a few marks with his giant testicles.

Yes arms like giant octopus testicles I think it was ?

 

[Kangaroos techno]

Right now based on current needs sure.

In 2025 maybe not so much.

The Phillips pick was best footballer available through the recruiters eyes. This is a longer term move than a couple of seasons.

The Ham /Alleer pick is far far worse than this IMO.

We got a bloke for 6 months vs a kid that went first round. Huge miss.

Aleer MSD miss was a miss by everyone. It's easy to say in hindsight but he was barely mentioned. He wasn't on any radar. Why? Because he didn't swing to the backline until mid year. That's when it became apparent that he was a player worth looking at.

The Ham pick was stupid - no doubt about that but you can't hold the Aleer miss over the club.

I think by mid year, most on here will be doing a seance to pray for a 19 year old KPD which slipped through the cracks with no football, or state league defender who emerges.

Thankfully it looks like we will finally get a full season of NAB League and VFL football.

 

[Frogginton McPowell]

The backline is still a problem - can’t expect any of those guys to have a big impact straight away as they will be trying to get up to speed.
Ford and Curtis could turn an extra crumb or two into goals

Agree it won't immediately translate to wins. Especially with the teams we will be playing around that time. If we are serious about having a team that can ready to launch for a prolonged crack at finals by the end of 2023 these are the guys that need to be playing together, building synergy and turning our current areas of weakness into strengths.

I think fading Callow and having him go the pick after our 2nd selection is a huge miss, I know he was playing as a key forward but he would have been the perfect player to put a preseason into training as a key defender; 195cm 95kg goliath with sticky mitts, huge Sam Collins from GC vibes. He probably generated the most hype after Edwards and Newcombe, we had the opportunity to select him a potential best 22 key posi player AFTER bagging Edwards and we opted for small rebounding defender, so cringe.

 

[WesternRoo]

And no way you’re moving Lmac out of defence after last week.

He did his best work laying off and intercept marking which he can sweep back and do off a wing.

He also can play this role higher up the ground to help our press which was non existent.

Hayden can be given the job on Ryan.

No

I know we want to attack the corridor more (in the end it was the right choice with hall hitting a great ball into the chest of someone) but I thought to highlight this particular instance.

LDU has the ball, lachie should be sprinting to the wing to make the ground bigger in which he could also potentially drag a player with him.


Another instance

When we have the ball we need to make the ground big, I think in the 2nd pic lachie was a bit slow in knowing when to shift across (particularly because he is a defender) B. Scott could have kicked it to lachie then kept running for the hand ball receive.

If we spread and make the ground bigger on counter attacks it would be way easier to lead into space through the corridor and make leads. It will also create room for our HFs such as zurhaar to lead up in as they aren’t blocking/ congesting the HF area.

This is just my little take as I am a winger/ HF and wanted to watch a few highlights of our wingers. Feel free to share your thoughts this will help my game as well

[the flying ham]

Phillips will be a gun I reckon. The way he gets from contest to contest is pretty unique.

This week's changes I'm gonna go with

Out: McKay, CCJ, Powell
In: Walker/Bonar, Paul Curtis, Polec

Many defending Powell for 21 touches I just watched the extended player highlights - haven't changed my mind at all. He was poor and sloppy. It wasn't a team structure thing, he was just sloppy. Not saying he won't be a gun too but there should be some accountability there imo.

Stephenson lucky and I wouldn't be surprised to see him out too, maybe for Ford.

Powells ball winning ability and high inq are real weapons but he is not at a level to run both ways. I think we need to look at capping the amount of young blokes in the side to remain competitive, its one thing to chase a tackler, another thing to push defensively in transitioning to occupy space. And the kids just don't do that

Only one reporter there asking questions?

"Coming weeks."

Damn. I guess the initial reports were right.

 

[franjon]

I would say he’s the best option to play taller. Looks like it’ll be Corr, Young and bonar as “tall defenders” if walker doesn’t come up.

In other words we're ****ed on the backline.

 

[Le Grille]

In other words we're f’ed on the backline.

It’s not ideal

I must also add in the 2nd pic even if young leads to the boundary Powell would shuffle across providing a 45 in the middle and cover.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Will go like this I'm guessing:

Ziebell - Walker - Turner

Hayden - Corr - Hall

McDonald - Greenwood - Taylor

Stephenson - Zurhaar - Thomas

Mahoney - Larkey - Horne

Goldstein - LDU - Simpkin

Xerri - Polec - Scott - Young

Sub - Powell

That’s a spud bench

Bonar in is needed and Powell is first choice winger for mine

Scott and Polly can go play vfl

Powell was leading North for tackles unit he got OP last year, he runs both ways.

LDU and Simpkin are the biggest offenders for defensive running in the entire side.

I was thinking the same. Maybe they should team up.
