I’m really happy with our list. Seems willo is right to go and with the return of doc and acquisition of betts, newnes pitonett and hopefully Martin all of a sudden we have a pretty good team. There will be plenty of competition for spots which will hopefully get the best out of the players.

As long as they can stick a tackle, they can come in any size AR wants them to be!
The only spot for LOB in our AFL side is the wing. Otherwise VFL it is.

What’s your biggest concern with LOB playing HB?

Yes
If he plays, swapping forward for stints, and dropping back when Simmo needs a rest.
Nah, probably wing/HF, but mostly full time wing.
Absolutely zero chance of this happening ahead of SPS, Williamson, Docherty, Martin and Newnes
You're not accounting for excess glycogen storage. Depending on the diet and exercise regiment and their game style, they might lose zero strength, and maintain their maximal strength and concentration for longer.
And it would be substantially more than 10% fitness, at least from an aerobic perspective.
I like it. it’s weight of numbers really. If we can outnumber contests more often than not. Every disposal will be under pressure. If they bust a tackle there’s another blue right there to get them unaware. If the ball spills loose we’re likely to get it. If we have more numbers getting to more contests a concession in strength will be more or less negligible. We would lose 5% to have another bloke there at 95% more often.
I already know I’m nuts so no need to tell me.

Ben's full edit is hilarious, lol.
Has an excellent trachea to hamstring ratio though, don't you think?
Martins aim was always more midfield time,his a natural runner,elite tank,can utilise any position
In fact would be surperb HBF.....in time
Well if you look at our better games for the year they comprised of a lot of overlap running and pushing back and then running hard forward using handball chains and overlap especially I noticed down the left hand wing side a lot more so than the right which was more kick mark, players like Simmo, O’brien, Murphy, Walsh and Gibbons where prolific in these chains down the left hand wing. So yes I think our game plan moving forward will be using our strength of a lot of good endurance runners pushing teams to the limit with gut running up and back and using a lot of handball chains and overlap running. Just hope teams don’t work out we mainly use the left hand side for this purpose.
Once we include willo, Doc and Newnes the right side will be just as effective.

I think Bolts probably pencilled him as a small forward, so that went against Gibbo. He is, and will always be (in my opinion) a mid first and foremost.
Agree totally about the limited minutes in the guts, but I think they would have known that he would have hit the wall in his first season.
I'm really excited what another solid pre season can do for him.
Played on the half forward flank (in his first season in 1967 where he came third in the Brownlow Medal , full forward in 1970 where he kicked 100 goals), played in the centre, centre half forward, won a best and fairest playing off the half back flank, coached a premiership side from the back pocket in 1979, after shifting himself there before half time.
So yeah, utility, story checks out.

they'd look at him today and say you won't get a kick in the big league if you don't hit the gym..........

1. He hasn't shown anything to suggest he can defend
2. He doesn't have the composure to navigate a forward press, yet
3. His best position is the wing; his long delivery i50 is too valuable
4. He's behind Simmo, Doch, Willo, Newnes, Newman, and SPS

....But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.
Yeah, but besides that what'd he ever do? Got to steer well clear of flash-in-the-pan battlers like him.Played on the half forward flank (in his first season in 1967 where he came third in the Brownlow Medal , full forward in 1970 where he kicked 100 goals), played in the centre, centre half forward, won a best and fairest playing off the half back flank, coached a premiership side from the back pocket in 1979, after shifting himself there before half time.

Our premiership chances have grown since Walsh joined the club...
