Training 2018 Pre Season (How many houses will go down?)

[Dupogi]

Got damn. Thems some quads you can set your watch to.

Very impressive

At least if Ah Chee isn't the BBIBWBLF, he's only contracted for one year. I can see him being more effective as a high half forward

SO a contract yeah for him, he might actually play alright then so he can cash in. Then after he gets his 3yr deal...

If we go in with the same small number of midfielders each week we won’t stand a chance. Simmo presses flexibility when he came on board and I’ve barely seen it. In fact I’d say we’ve been one of the least flexible sides with sweet **** all mids playing back or forward and vicky vers

I agree. But Vicky Vers will be a useful addition to the women's side

Think Cole plays most games for us this year in def.

Rant 2. Considering most players that left the club weren’t integral players last season bar Petrie. If our best 22 doesn’t have 4-5 players from the AFLX/new players to the club playing regularly ain’t **** all going to change

From the players playing AFLX you would think Waterman, Nelson, Cole and Dugan would be in the best 22 or close to it.

Nic Nat still tentatively in line to play round 1 according to Jetta.

“Nic is travelling good. It looks like he will hopefully play round one but we will see how he gets through the next two weeks of training,” he said.

Can't wait to see Ah Chee get stuffed around on the HFF flank then dropped to reserves after not performing as a midfielder.

Yeah I’m thinking waterman plays a big part this year 10+ games

We won’t be able to ignore Ryan if he’s kicking as many goals at EP as he did at subi.

I should have added Rioli and Ryan to those mentioned.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Watson get a crack at some point.

Partington has increased in size , increased his running capacity and hasnt missed one session this pre season .

He has already shown he is a ball magnet so if he has cleaned his skills up he will be a certain starter imo .

He's a ball magnet at WAFL level, remains to be seen if he can win his own ball against the big boys though - size or not.

50m handball is absolutely ridiculous.

Reminds me of this guy:

Gaff is a ball magnet that doesnt win his own ball so whats your point about parto ?

One is an inside midfielder the other is a specialist seagull outside player..... why would you even compare them?

He obviously means Partington is yet to prove he can win the ball at the coalface at AFL level like he can in the WAFL.

He's pale as buggery

Well thats an interesting take. It was reported that last season we were playing too many mids in forward and backline positions as we tried to fit Priddis and Mitchell in the side.

Duggan played back which actually worked and we played Partington, Mutimer, Sheed, Redden and Jetta forward. Recall Simo saying it didnt work especially forward and hinted that more pure forwards would be played this year. Enter Rioli and Ryan as examples.

Interesting times ahead.

Hello, if this isn't the place I do apologize. I was wondering how some youngsters are looking. Do Brander or Rotham have a chance to play some games this season? How do Olango and Bayock look as well? Do they look like players that can feature in a season or two? Thanks and good luck this season

None of them will play, we're sacking Worsefold and disbanding the club after AFLX

 

[new breed]

Gaffy putting contract talks on hold untill mid-season , same as previous contracts that Gaffy has signed .

So I'm not alarmed , confident he will re-sign . Will be a fair sign if he doesnt sign June /July Gaff might be on his way , sounds like a few Melbourne clubs will be offering big long term deals to lure Gaff back to Melbourne so we might need to up the deal some more .

I'm in the same boat as you really as I now live in Qld but from what I have seen thnx to posters feedback from training and the video available it seems like Brander will probably get a debut. Rotham seems to have the attributes but we will probably have to wait and see. how he goes for East Perth. You would think Orlando would need more development and Bayock may be still learning game plans. There are probably a few players who the club would be keen to give a run before most of those.

All are project players. Brander is the one who might get a game or two but needs to bulk up.

If you are looking for cheap Fantasy players who will play Rioli, Ryan, Venables and Ah chee will all get plenty of opportunities. All four if fit could play round 1.

Also the club needs to sort out McGovern's deal first as it will be bigger than Gaff's.

It would be a blow to lose Gaff but not a massive one. Fantasic accumulator and runs all day, great link player but Id like to see a taller winger played and one with a bit more hurt factor on the score board.

If Gaff did go we have the likes of Ah chee, Petra, O Allen, Darling, Duggan, Cole, Rotham or Venables.
