2017 pre-season discussion.

Cut him a break, he just a kid! With hair like his there isn't much he can do to change his look apart from dye or shave it off... He doesn't do drugs, drink to much, or party too hard. Personally i think he should have gone with Red & White stripes!! :p;)

I had a crack at an updated depth chart. Obviously a lot of players can do 2 positions, I've generally used their main one from 2016.

Tall defenders: Heath Grundy, Dane Rampe, Aliir Aliir, Jeremy Laidler, Michael Talia, Lewis Melican, Jack Maibaum (Alex Johnson*)

Tall forwards: Lance Franklin, Sam Reid, Jordan Dawson, Toby Pink

Actual reliable contested midfielders: Josh Kennedy

Other midfielders: Daniel Hannebery, Luke Parker, Kieren Jack, Isaac Heeney, Jake Lloyd, Jordan Foote, Daniel Robinson, Robbie Fox, Ben Ronke, Sam Murray

Small/medium defenders: Nick Smith, Jarrad McVeigh, Callum Mills, Zak Jones, Harrison Marsh, Nic Newman, Colin O'Riordan, Tyrone Leonardis

Small/medium forwards: George Hewett, Tom Papley, Harry Cunningham, Oliver Florent, Will Hayward, Shaun Edwards, James Rose, Brandon Jack

Utilities that can run around fast and sometimes do football stuff: Gary Rohan, Dean Towers

Ruckmen: Kurt Tippett, Sam Naismith, Callum Sinclair, Darcy Cameron

I think the last 6 games or so suggest Heeney might go into the "actual reliable contested midfielders" within a year or two.

I thinke Ronke will beat him to it. Looks to be quick too. Watching his highlight reel I cant figure why he dropped to 17 on the rookie chart. Will play before our other rookies I reckon.

I think they have heart rate monitors and GPS's in them so the medical and fitness guys can monitor everything.
They could put those into an actual singlet instead of a bra. Or these days they can put it into a wristwatch.
These man bras have to go. Cross dressing has its place and all :rainbow:. But not on footballers while training :eek:

Anyone else worried about that utilities group, if Rohan and Towers both get hurt who is left

Why do people get so hung up on the crop tops? It's the same on every Facebook story about pre-season. WTFDWFT?

On another note: Has anyone seen Hewett in any pre-season footage/photos? Where's he at? Is he injured?
