Training 2026 Preseason Thread

[I Love Lamb]

I found our midfield pretty exciting in September 2021

Take this crop over Trac Viney Harmes Brayshaw and Oliver right now. Only 1 of those blokes looks like playing round 1 2026.

I think new crop in peak can be better.

 

[Demon Attack]

I'll believe that when I see it.

You are comparing apples to shoes.

2021 was a midfield in their peak form and age.
They are now all past their peak, injured, retired, or out of form (and in different teams).
Our current midfield excluding the injured ones is mostly inexperienced kids.

Am hoping our key defenders in an ideal world are Turner, Petty, Lever.

With Taylor and Adams.

Alright, I'm alive. Anybody care to give me a summary of the past month or so? Lol

Just the usual. You didn't miss a thing.

With Taylor and Adams.

Taylor yes, potentially but not sure Adams plays alongside 3 KPDs?

He did look ok late last year tbf.

My preferred Round 1 backline


B Lindsay Petty Salem

HB Taylor Turner Jiath



This is a new era with fast ball movement, May and Lever should both be back ups at Casey.

Not sure if Turner and Lever would be best playing together. Both seem to prefer playing as a spare/floater around the backline. Turner would be my preference given age and less shit when needing to actually defend.

danster168, Topkent and I Love Lamb are the moderators now.

Get Swish out of the backline please, it's too much fun watching him celebrate when he gets a snag.

Fast ball movement with dinky di Salem? Hopefully AMW comes good and takes his spot.

This is all thats left of humanity. We need to repopulate.

Who is Swish?

 

[Scythe]

Who is Swish?

Petty, I presume

Are you propositioning me?

 

[Scythe]

I see one major change. Now all of BigFooty looks like this

 

[MarcMaverick]

Are you propositioning me?

At this point TBD. Also I am buggered. Had a dream that me, as a mango, and my cumquat cousin saved the world and then got high on shrooms whilst listening to Shpongle.

I thought everyone had been banned at first

 

[steve0908]

So is it the consensus that Steven May is now not in our best 22 and Petty is the new full back?

Slowest backline ever. Salem’s never played wing.

Steele at half forward?

Bowey in the 2s? Chandler in the 2s?

Wild

 

[melbun]

Bowey in the 2s? Chandler in the 2s?

Where they should be.
Bowey until he grows another 15cm.
Chandler when he can run a lot faster.
