The we should have taken Witherden calls will get louder now.

Was loud when it happened to be honest.

Yeah, Well I'm still on team Ridley, He'll end up a champ with us and play 200+ games.

Totally agree, this kid will be another wellman. Poise, class, skills, time in traffic, positions himself well. 200 plus for sure

Where's this kid at? Haven't seen or heard much at all this pre-season, heard that the club holds high hopes that he'll be a vital cog in our backline for 10+ years yet haven't seen him in the intra or JLT1 and haven't heard of a recent injury??

Hurt his ankle and is still recovering from it. If he can get fit he's going to be a gem.

I knew this but last I heard he was back to full training and hadn't heard a thing since. No mention in todays injury report.

That means he probably didn't get injured

Thanks for that.....

Oh crap, i think I've seen this one

 

[yodellinhank]

Moooooon boot. Running later this week apparently...

Anyone know what alter-g is? Low impact/"low gravity"?

Training with the e-sports group

 

[Old Campaigner]

I wonder if he's any chance to take Gleeson's spot?

He played a half in the VFL two weeks ago. Doubt it.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

One thing I’d like to see him do more is peel off his man and become third man up. I know he’s been coming back from injury but its evident from last year as well, he’s accountable and tidy but is yet to show a point of difference that says he’s an AFL talent while Bezerker has probably shown more AFL traits in three games.

Hopefully debuts this week

 

[Zach Package]

I’m a large wrap for him, this is good news

Hoochie mama

More excited about this kis than Clarkey. We know what we get with Dyl, but Jordan could be anything

 

[eth-dog]

Hm. Will he play as the medium (ala Gleeson/Goddard) or as a 3rd tall (replacing Hurley)? I'm hoping the former, not sure if he has the strength to go with a Crameri but I'll back his speed against Murdoch/Gregson.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Taking Hurleys place

 

[BrunoV]

This will be the start of something good.

Taking Hurleys place

Goddard?

Ridley to take Goddards place as more of a lockdown role (which BJ was clearly not doing)

 

[DERO]

This will be the start of something good.

Indeed. It is great to see, even if it at the expense of Josh Green.

 

[Kakkle]

There is a god!

It'd be a huge ask but I reckon Menzel is the perfect matchup height/build/attribute wise, and I hope they go with it.

I aggree Crameri would bully him, his arse is too big, the Cats will isolate him and he (Crameri) is known to float out the back of the zone so he could get a couple of cheapies over the back
