Here ya go peeps. It doesn't look as nice as the first Intraclub as I overblew the brightness and caused the clarity to suffer but it is in 60fps so hopefully that helps.
Cheers.

Any more details?
Really? Seems so far back now?
Hasn't had a run in any A team all preseason, seems like Worner has well and truly gone ahead of him (as well as wags, walks, Clark)

Hopefully Drizzy does start in the centre square. His size, pace and left foot are real point of difference.

5 min burst per quarter is probably perfect.
Add Bolton for short bursts, Murphy Reid when playing and it adds a bit more spark and variety to our midfield.

fwiw while Bruce has earned the right for a preseason gig on Sunday, don’t believe Reid as an 18 year old with half a preseason under his belt will be there round 1 especially against hardened Cats in Geelong. Expect best case in June with our run of home games.
If he’s playing in the A team over Ras, Johnno and Brodie with Fyfe and Young (and potentially Switta) out injured there’s ever chance he gets a debut, even if it’s sub.
People like to say that JL is conservative with debuts but I can’t remember the last time a draftee was at this stage in pre season.
We will find out more on Sunday, if he is in the first 22/23 then he is a chance to debut
If he only plays a quarter then its unlikely
Johnson should be ahead of him still and probably Erasmus too, just think they couldn't put them all in the same team the other day

What we are discussing is replacing midfielders, so Wagner, Worner, Walker and Clark aren't relevant.
I don't see him breaking into the A team per se. He's depth, and reportably having a good preseason. If we're thinking of playing O'Driscoll on ball, he can join the wing rotation, perhaps in preference to Wagner, who I think is borderline.
He can genuinely play a variety of positions, and if he is having a strong preseason this could be the type of situation that fits.
He isn't playing midfield anymore, he has played backline since mid last year and has only trained in defense this season.
Quick edit: The wingers have mostly been Sharp, NOD, Johnson, JOM and Banfield
Yeah, I think hes coming from a long way back now, age would be a part of it, probably don't sense any improvement in him now but still good depth if we have an injury crisis
I just doing think Ras is close to AFL speed. Always half a second behind everything. Still think Johnno should be the front runner though. At least has proven runs on the board at AFL level.
Pretty much every decent player (so far) that’s debuted under JL has done so in the first 6-7 rounds. Brandon Walker is pretty much the only exception when it comes to best 22 players.
And yes I’m aware some of the guys I’m talking about were second and third year players but JL’s history shows it’s probably only an injury that stops Reid from making his debut very early on, even if that’s not round one.

I hate to say it & I hope I am so wrong but Erasmus looks like having a similar career to Conner Blakely. Big numbers in the grade below but just doesn’t quite have it at AFL level. Will play some good games, but not quite there.
I really hope he makes me look foolish.
Look banfield is gonna be in no matter what it might as well be in his preferred position as a mid
I thought his problem was ****ing everything in sight

I went with the Blakely comparisons a couple years back (and copped alot of backlash lol) so I then upgraded his ceiling to Matt Crouch
TBH he still has a long way to go before reaching Blakely AFL levels, Blakely was looking pretty good before those injuries, he was actually looking flexible due to racking it up in that loose back role.
Erasmus hasn't and probably won't get the AFL opportunity that Blakely had though, alot easier to crack into our team back then and it was clearly a youth approach timeline. I'd be moving club for opportunity this year if I was Erasmus, otherwise his career may slip away from him.
Some of it will be making the other midfield half competitive, although Johnson, Erasmus and Brodie is not a great combination as they are all a bit slow, and lack spread.
Agree, this weekend will show a lot. When do teams come out?
I disagree, got them a flag so that is all that matters and I think without him there is no flag. Therefore right decision.
I don’t think it depends on the return, if the player is decent then the pick is right regardless if they leave. Players leaving isn’t on the recruiters unless they are doing contracts and offering them peanuts.
