Training 2019/20 Preseason Training

Our defence wasn't great last year, but I don't see how it could be 13th (mind you, I haven't seen a source on that claim). We finished 5th after H&A and 6th overall, so if our defence was 13th then our forwards and mids would have to be up there as the best in the league (they weren't). I would put our defence and forwards around the top 4 in the league and 2019 mids around mid-table. Hopefully Kelly can change that.
Tom Browne or Walls?
 
Those rankings are a load of crap. Every year theyre horrible.

GWS best fwd line? Really?

Last year Melbourne were the no.1 ranked side leading into the season... result 17th.

The article is on the AFL site.

Overall our list was ranked 5th.

Our midfield rank went up and defense down.

At least the fools ranked Melbourne's list 13th instead of 1st like they did a year ago. Thats says something about the ranking system in itself.
 
Id rank the lists pretty much in ladder possie from last year with possible changes to WCE midfield up a place... Geel mid down a place... etc other big trades impacting possies...

Not wild movements like NM got

So the Eagles back line is ranked 13th in the league?

Hurn Barrass Sheppard
Jetta McGovern Duggan

Depth: Schofield, Allen, Nelson, Cole, Watson

Gee, there must be some dead set gun back lines out there from 1 - 12!

It’s really odd or biased as having 2 AA defenders seems to be forgotten ..

Anyone know what our pre-season schedule is like in terms of intra-club and practice games?
Haven't been able to find anything, but with the Marsh Community Series only a couple weeks away I'm wondering if we have an intraclub coming up that Keys will provide footage and commentary. #nopressure

First official preseason game is Thursday, Feb 27 against Essendon at lathlain.

No mention of when the intraclub is but working backwards from Feb 27

Fri 21/2 - would only give a 6 day break so that’s too close
Wed 19/2 - mid week, usually the open session and a lighter run. Put a line through this date
Mon 17/2 - Far enough away but they’ll want to be establishing a routine for the season proper so I don’t think they’d play it on a Monday
Fri 14/2 - Two weeks (thereabouts) before first preseason game, it’s a Friday so approximates a weekend game. This would be my guess

I’m committed to other things that day so won’t be there. Also think it’ll be difficult to watch anyway as the club will be keen to be keep it under wraps which is a bugger for fans but kinda understandable as they work on things they’d prefer kept private
 
For all you height obsessed weirdos

Official heights of talls is as follows

Brander/196
Allen/194
Waterman/192
Edwards/200
Williams/200
Barrass/197
Gov/197
Schofield/197
Rotham/193
NN/202
Hickey/202
Vardy/200

No need to speculate anymore
Really exciting that we have those young talls developing.with allen and waterman already stepping up and williams,brander and rotham very close the future is bright.
We are covered across the board with young talls

Good to see you are doing the right thing on Valentines Day Keys.

Bulldogs #2 overall...really?!
It's not even the forward and midfield rankings that are crazy (if anything, I think our midfield is underrated at 6), but it's a genuine pisstake to have our defence ranked 2nd. It's a common talking point in the media about the problems we've had down back, and is pretty clearly the biggest weakness in the side. I genuinely don't know how we're ranked 2nd and the Eagles are all the way back at 13th
 
From memory champion data ranked our list 17/18th in 2018. Fair to say it can't be any indication of how the team will go.

Our defence had 2 AA and Shepherd not far off.
Jetta had arguably his best season.
crazy to be ranked 13th.
But I guess that some dumb shits and their loosely based algorithms are entitled to have their say and make fools of themselves once again.
