Haha. Not sure if this is in the right thread or if we need a 2017 Pre-season report thread.
Really pleased to hear it. How much impact does attitude have on an individual's chances of success? Heaps.

Probably had a positive player review and his motivation level is high.

Tabs is training.

Tabs will be a successful forward.

Oh I'm so becoming his buddy next season.. That's the attitude that some players don't have. Yes he's a rookie and he has been through a lot, but this guy secretly wants to make it in the forward line of ours next season. Just wished we just played him against Claremont instead of keeping him as emergency. One game.. One. He and Apeness would be great to watch this weekend..

If freo get cam mac and apeness stay injuries free. Maybe Tab will be the X factor next year but could well be a whipping boy too .

My grapevine told me some of the long term injury guys were sent home for holidays during the season so they can start back early.
You're lucky, my grapevine has never provided me with any insight and last season didn't even produce fruit. Shouldn't this be in the gardening thread?

Clancee trained yesterday according to Danny and should replace Mora in the Peel side.

Geez that makes for a strong midfield at that level.
If only they had a bit more pace in the outside players It'd be a completely dominant team.
I am just very interested to see how the team plays in that situation. We have become so used to getting it to Pavlich that I wonder if the blinkers will come off easily. For me the x-factor you are talking from would come from Yarran. He has the pace and marking ability so realistically needs a skilled, tall, fast opponent. He is both a marking option and a ground ball danger. I would be almost using the others as a decoy and give him space. The critical difference should be that there is no set formula for what will happen with the possible options we will have.
Reckon that young kid Bennell might provide a bit of x-factor as well
I never get tired of watching this video...

When the players come back from break will preseason be starting at new facilities? Have we officially finished at the SFFC now?

He reminds me of Shaun Burgoyne.
He can play anywhere on the field, we just have to get his body right.
No, I think the new facilities won't be ready until March at the earliest?

Football, not just Freo, needs this guy on the park. What an absolute superstar.

That's a great video of Bennell.
We were always lucky to have Walters and Ballantyne. But we have 2 taller upgrades with Yarran and Bennell that imho will make for an even more electric duo. Where Ballas tried but got outmarked overhead due to sheer size mismatches, that won't happen so much with these 2.
Maybe a team can shut down one impressive small forward, but it will be rare for both to be outclassed - and we still have the option of switching Walters/Weller or Crozier in from further down field.

I'd be happy having Tabs marking down the wings (Matt Richardson style) all day to help get the ball forward. Much more useful than expecting him to mark and kick goals when already surrounded by McCarthy, Yarran, Bennell, Walters, Apeness and Fyfe
I'd prefer Weller, Hill, Hill and Tucker delivering it to the forwards, and so would the forwards I'd say.

Yep, that's his natural position. Love his field kick too.

I didn't say delivering to the forwards. I said help to get the ball forward. You know, that bit where we kick to the back corner then boot it long in the hope someone will take a contested mark or we win the ball on the ground, but WC and others just pick it off and send it back in? Well most of tabs marks actually occur around that region where he gets on the lead or takes a contested mark on the wing. Who he feeds it off to after that...well we now have a plethora of options which include Weller, Hill, Hill Jr and Tucker.
Taberner takes the mark leading up the wing, handballs it off to a player running past for the inside 50

That was a lovely bit of play....
...let's see it again on the slow-motion replay!
