It's a long line of coaches being blamed because annointed kids haven't kicked on. Ben Kennedy would have been a superstar if we never played him as sub.
...valuable he can be, finishing fourth in the Copeland Trophy after playing all 26 games in the premiership campaign.
Beau McCreery and FinMacrae are also on modified programs after recent niggles, but spent enough time training with the main group on Monday to indicate they will play some...
Pre-season training: Wednesday Feb 5th.
Absent players:
Cox
Hayes
DeMattia
Rehab:
Mitchell
Jordy
Reef
Dean
Macrae
I thought today was gonna be match sim, and yeah there was toward the end. But the umpires were also there for specific drills I hadn't seen before. The new drills...
...in a breakthrough season for him, but it will be interesting to see where he fits in 2025 on an experienced list, along with the likes of FinMacrae, Ed Allan, Jakob Ryan, Harry DeMattia, Ned Long and Tew Jiath. Dan Houston’s arrival might limit the chances for Ryan and Jiath, while Reef...
...training, with premiership defender Brayden Maynard telling Foxfooty.com.au in December that Allan, as well as fellow fringe midfielder FinMacrae, would play important roles in filling the boots of the injured Tom Mitchell. He said: “Ed and Fin ... in the whole pre-season leading up to...
This was never said. The Carlton boys have taken a comment about respective 'Career Output' and run with 'I can't believe you think Cox is better than Walsh!'
So age counts against Sidebottom, but doesn't count against Saad, who clearly declined in 2024, whilst Quaynor has a more recent AA...
...Cox > Walsh
Quaynor > Saad - Despite being worse statistically in almost every single measure there is
Sidebottom > Acres - Same as above, Sidebottom is old and declining.
FinMacrae + Ned Long > Matt Kennedy + Matt Owies
If they're anything to go off I think it's clear which side is bias.
Like most clubs, as supporters we'd be hopeful that some of our youngsters can improve to the point that they push out some of the older players by the end of the year, but we're not necessarily relying on it to revert to our standard position as premiership contenders in 2025, given our list...
...be the Pies thinking their band of geriatrics are going to be able to wind back the clock in their mid 30s :tearsofjoy:
Blues have plenty of kids ready to come in and step up in Kennedy and Owies absence. Pies have got Ned Long and FinMacrae plodding about ready to be delisted come end of...
This photo from training don’t bode well:
In all seriousness I think he’s had his chance and shown that he’s a VFL jet but not up to AFL standard (at least as a mid). Allan will get a RHG I think but awkward price - could be a sideways option from an early 2024 draft pick, if he gets a chance...
Fudge laughing at Cowan and Hollands but will throw at monumental size turds like FinMacrae and Ned Long as the Pies next generation as if they're meant to be something special 😂
Don't forget
Harry Demattia
Wil Parker
Ed Allan
FinMacrae
Tew Jiath
Iliro Smit
Oscar Steene
Jakob Ryan
Reef McInnes
Lachie Sullivan
Harvey Harrison
Oleg Markov
Ash Johnson
Charlie Dean
Ned Long
Mason Cox
All better than Owies and Kennedy apparently
Looking to replace said pick 24 and would like to trade a forward or trade block player for another pick in the 15-45 range.
Trade block - Will Hayward, matt kennedy, Cam Zurhaar, JVR, Oscar Allen, H Hustwaite, S Mitchell, FinMacrae, Ryan Byrnes
