EUFA EURO 2024 - Group Stage ⚽ EPL 24/25 starts Aug 17
It was very wet, and football was indeed played.Except that we must’ve played wet weather football?
The academy lads will be taking men's training on Tuesday.Except that we must’ve played wet weather football?
You could probably make that same argument for the national draft as well.Yer I watched some of it, very very scrappy as you would expect.
One thing I took out of it was that IMO 90%+ of the players on display will never make it as best 22 AFL players and these are the best players in their age groups. I have watched a lot of junior club footy and the number of players that stood out as extremely good was minute, Geesu was a recent one and I wouldn't put the house on even him just yet.
From the little I have seen no they don't possess line breaking run and gun traits.It's been apparent for a while now the athletic profile of our best 22 and extended list has been somewhat lacking. The way Darcy Jones and Finn Callaghan just tore around last night was eye catching...The running power possessed by other teams really has shown us up when we fail to get the game on our terms.
Hoping the drafting team can start to address the lack of dynamic athletic ability on the list, not sure Levi Ashcroft/Sam Marshall assist in that area.

Ah Chee definitely looks like he has bulked up this year - which is weird for a guy that mostly plays wider in the wing relief role (or moved to cover a bunch of holes as needed). Definitely seems slower than in the past (but been hard to tell in only seeing one live game so far)
If he's fit he should be sub as he can play Mr Fix It almost anywhere on the ground. But yes his condition has started to be a bit concerningIf he wasn’t injured he deserves to be dropped. Just isn’t contributing
Well it would make sense to drop Cal given he is one of those on the permitted drop list. I mean it’s not like half the team don’t regularly contribute; we know the names that will never get dropped. Sadly Cal isn’t on that list.If he wasn’t injured he deserves to be dropped. Just isn’t contributing
Any reason though why Cam couldn’t play full forward like Ossie did at 182cm?The problem with only playing 1 ruck and 2 key forwards are we become very short when one of them is on the bench and it doesn’t actually help us move the ball quicker to give our small forwards the space they need inside 50 to get dangerous.
Really think we need to get the midfield functioning first (like last year) before we can make changes to the forwardline

Doesn’t matter what backmen is playing if you put the ball lace out for a forward to lead into they can’t do anything.Because most teams have super athletic 196cm tall backmen now
have you seen our f50 entries this year.....?Doesn’t matter what backmen is playing if you put the ball lace out for a forward to lead into they can’t do anything.

And unfortunately that’s 100% the issue. Watch any old Hawthorn footage and the service Dunstall got was extraordinary. Sure he has to convert but his leading patterns and then the service was sublime. I guess you just don’t see it as much nowadays although I recall in 09 Richy used to bullet pass into Brownys chest.have you seen our f50 entries this year.....?

then im not sure what rayner playing full forward does to solve the issueAnd unfortunately that’s 100% the issue. Watch any old Hawthorn footage and the service Dunstall got was extraordinary.
