when people query whether Zac Jones had a football brain.
I question if he had a brain at all.

Now thats positivity for you!We're going to have a top 2 pick next year imo
Most of the time.I didn't watch a lot of games but how often would have Reid been taking the number 1 defender when he wasn't rucking with Aliir?
Be interesting to see when Franklin comes back and Sinclair as another forward option. Midfield supply in theory should be a little bit better with Naismith in as wellMost of the time.
If Naismith is rucking I would expect Sinclair to play from the goal square and Reid to be third tall. Against most teams that should work well. Good long delivery from Dawson, Cunningham and Taylor (which I would expect) could see quite a number of one on one contests.Be interesting to see when Franklin comes back and Sinclair as another forward option.

We've got a pretty soft draw. I reckon 10th or 11th.We're going to have a top 2 pick next year imo

Win less than 4 games? yikes
Agreed, can't see Sinkers and Naismith in the same side not accounting for injuriesSigning Brand suggests to me two things:
1. it's not a guarantee McCartin will move to the back line
2. it's not a guarantee that Sinclair and Naismith will play in the same side
I'm thinking it indicates that Brand or Melican will get first crack at FB. Meaning McCartin, Reid and Franklin will be our talls up forward, with Reid taking the 2nd ruck duties behind Sinclair/Naismith
Rampe - Brand/Melican - Mills
Dawson - Aliir - Lloyd
Blakey - Hewett - Florent
Heeney - Franklin - Hayward
Papley - Reid - McCartin
Sinclair/Naismith - Kennedy - Parker
Rowbottom - Cunningham - Taylor - Gray
O'Riordan - Naismith/Sinclair - Ronke - Fox
Our best 22 according to this expert. If we ignore hype and look at what the players actually produce or will produce in years to come when we are next in the premiership window.
B: Rampe Allir Mills
HB: Dawson Mccartin Lloyd
C: Blakey Parker Taylor
HF: Hayward Franklin Reid
F: Papely Sinclair (SOMEONE)
R: Naismith Heeney Rowbottom
INT: Kennedy (very slow) Cunningham (c grader on a good day), Hewett (slow), (SOMEONE)
Fringe 22: Florent (cant kick, like horrifically bad kicking efficiency, has to be inside grunt clearance player or nothing), Ronke (forgotten what AFL footballing looks like), COR (shown late season glimpses).
Regarding the (SOMEONES) to be honest I'd play Ling sight unseen off the interchange/back pocket, we know what the rest produces and it is C grade on a good day or Thurlow/Clarke/Bell D grade on a good day. If Ling is fit have to get games into him. Also have to play our PICK 5 mid to get games into them. Its time to bite the bullet and understand that 2020 we are no chance at a premiership and its a development year. Florent if inside mid relief and not wing or half forward.
Will our coaches have the guts to move Kennedy/Parker/Hewett to forward line as we get cut to pieces in our mids, can we hide Kennedy/Hewett there in the forwards as games are won by locking it in inside f50? I dont think we should have Hewett/Kennedy/Parker playing identical roles in the same side.
Anyways these are my ramblings, think we need to understand 2020 will be the last year we see Kennedy and I think he's probably playing 1 year too many anyway but is contracted, expecting him to fall off the cliff quickly.
Real competition for attacking tall spots! I also prefer to have Sinclair as FF and second ruck, that's what we originally planned for him. I will be surprised if Horse sends McCartin back to the twos. Something of a favourite son. Not sure how he could resolve that.My post DFA signings best 22. Looks like the coaches didn't know who to pick either for match days
B: Rampe Brand Mills
HB: Dawson Allir Lloyd

R: Naismith Kennedy Rowbottom
INT: Hayward, Cunningham, Hewett, Florent
Only question now is do we go with one ruck or two. If one Mccartin plays, if two Mccartin misses until injuries occur and he comes in. What do you reckon, I see a lot more run in our side for 2020, we could break even in wins and losses (perhaps I have rose coloured glasses on).
The way Mccartin can get games if they go two talls would be swappibg on the wing with Blakey. Mccartin's gps game numbers are huge and hes just about our highest distance runner per game.Real competition for attacking tall spots!

Hope he doesn't play Dawson at HBF as his delivery inside 50, along with Harry's, is our best.
Reckon he'll rotate Papley, Grey and Taylor as outside mids and forward pocket, Cunningham as a HBF and Florent and Hewett as an inside mid.
Hayward and Heeney as marking HFFs gets me pretty excited.

u might be right.....assume you mean matching a very early academy bid.We're going to have a top 2 pick next year imo
A lot of positivity on BF now. And all because of two DFA's (guys that weren't good enough at their old clubs). Shows how close we were before.
Probably also because those guys fill needs we have on the list I guessI think it just shows how much this place overreacts to any news, good or bad.
