Lonie is a bit of a gun.

Lonie is a bit of a gun.

Had him sitting F8 last week or so. Looking like staying for now.

Newnes fools gold?

Newnes fools gold?

15 disposals at 93% are pretty good numbers. Would have been nice for him to have won more of the ball but it's pre-season still. Anyone expecting a David Swallow type season of last year out of him is kidding themselves though. The thing that would concern me though is the more Jack Steven has played the less time Newnes has actually been on the ball, he's picking up disposals now however Steven has been benched.

 

[Daniels]

Exactly. Are we getting sucked in?

He's not a lock by any stretch of the imagination.

 

[Daniels]

He's not a lock by any stretch of the imagination.

That's what I'm thinking, but could almost be a "forced" pick. I dunno........

Surely you jest.............

Well there's no such thing as a "forced pick", if you don't think he's worth it no one is forcing you to pick him.

Like him as a player but as I said he was relatively unsighted when the Saints midfield brigade was at full strength for this game (Montagna, Steven, Armitage et al.).

Not taking too much from this game to tell you the truth, apart from f***ing injuries.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Line has been exceptional.
Edwards has been serviceable, Goddard just gifted him another snag.

I agree there isn't much you can take from any of these games outside of rookies really but I'm thinking people think that he is going to be a 95+ player just like that when he probably wont be.

I mean as not much on offer in that price range.

Always thought 90-95, but will wait & see. Still confident.

 

[ArdentEagle]

Mitch Brown for Essendon what a gun!
I'm going to re-structure just to lock him in.

........Wait?

 

[rocker_oz33]

Mitch ex cat Brown 103DT 19 kicks 10 marks.
More kicks he got in hes whole career at the cats.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Geary abit of a tease so far.

Geary abit of a tease so far.

Running around freely. There is no way he'll get as much free time and space when the real stuff begins.

Shiel pls. Stop teasing me.

Contested machine.

 

[hoddo]

I didn't actually see your post before posting mine, that was just coincidence

They will a bit. Not much at all though. Every year, 90% of the NAB challenge guns end up being bad SC options for the year. People get sucked in way too easily.

This is so true. The NAB cup is for seeing how the rookies perform as it's the best guide we have to their worth. To allow these glorified practice matches to override what we already know of the established players is suicidal. The only worth they have for established players is to see if they may be taking on a new, more SC friendly role, but even then it's fraught with danger due to the experimental nature of these games.
