I hate it when that happens....Don't let some f***er harvest your likes
No.....Both are goodFit March is a big upgrade on Plow
I give you permission to repost them, FerrisI hate it when that happens....
Especially when you're bang on. With no preseason, no chance he's breaking into the team first half of the year unless our injury curse continuesIt's just my opinion, no need to respond like that.
Marchy could be a surprise starter - aim was mentioned to have him playing all pre-season games.Especially when you're bang on. With no preseason, no chance he's breaking into the team first half of the year unless our injury curse continues
Let's face it, every defender gets a shit job.Kills any flexibility with the defence and lose one of our best endurance runners.
Plowman gets the shit jobs and does it well. Take him out we are so much worse off. Kept both Charlie Cameron and Dusty goalless last season, rare territory for any defender.
Plowman will be one of the first picked each week.
I love Diesel
I remember talking to Sticks one day at a pub and asking him about Diesel. I asked him why Diesel call him 'Kernahan' and not Sticks?' Like everyone elseYeah, i'm very pleased he is doing the role he is.
Diesel is both very complex yet very simple. A pretty unique bloke. Not the most likeable bloke from all reports(yet not widely disliked either) but hugely respected by all in regards to footy.
Rapt he's working with our young mids and others. Diesel is prone to fondness of his own work lol, but i reckon he's genuinely on the Dow Train clicking into gear. Dow has always struck me as a slow burn but a big result type kid. I think he is a bit more immature than some of his peers both mentally and physically. Whether it be at 20 or 21, i reckon he'll go bang when it clicks.
I dunno what it was(probably irrelevant lol) but i just was hoping we wouldn't draft his young bro. I just reckon Paddy is maturing into himself. Kinda like Weiters before him.
Anyways, yeah, Diesel was an all time great.
Oh, and I love the Dow wrap too. Diesel doesn't hand out compliments easilyYeah, i'm very pleased he is doing the role he is.

We are on the same wavelength hereLet's face it, every defender gets a shit job.
It'll never happen, but would be fascinating if they moved Plow into a defensive mid role once Ed pulls the pin.
I can't remember if it was this year or the year before but Jones was the number 1 intercept mark in the competition before he got injured. He is in a class above Marchbank in that area, but Marchbank is also very strong in the air.I won't enter the 'best 22' debate, but he's easily a better intercept mark then Jones. Not much would separate him, Weitering and Doc at their best.
I have mentioned this before so hope not repeating myself to much but you are exactly right regarding Dow.Yeah, i'm very pleased he is doing the role he is.

I like how he doesn't mince his words and can imagine he communicates well with the players.“Practice is still king, it doesn’t matter if you’re a Brownlow Medallist or a new draftee.
“It takes a lot of work to get the perfect technique. You need to have a technique where you have confidence in every facet of the game.”
“There’s potential to do a lot of things, but as far as I’m concerned we’re third last. We’ve got to win early games and build our confidence,” he said.
Not after glory....rolls out his magnum opus in the lead-up to POTY...Ta mate. It actually has it's own thread but isn't garnering discussion - more likely to get some views and chatter here. Always a lot of threads this time of year. I'm not after glory.
Question - how often did those teams roll out that specific set of players?Jones - Astbury/Davis/Roughead
Weitering - Rance/Taylor/Moore
Plowman - Grimes/Corr/Maynard
Marchbank - Broad/Haynes/Howe
SPS - Houli/Kennedy/Phillips
Doc - Vlaustin/Whitfield/Crisp
Simpson - Baker/Shaw/Noble
The best 3 teams this year compared to us. There is a spot for Marchy if he wants it enough. 4 mobile talls (1 x lockdown, 1 x “gorilla”, 2 x interceptors) and 3 smaller distributors seems to be the go.
From the most recent prelim and grand final teams.Question - how often did those teams roll out that specific set of players?
Ie. Have you taken those names from a consistent starting 22, or just from each team's respective squad list?
No snark here, genuinely curious.
Not sure Richmond are a great example of a small forward line any more; they've evolved from the '17 makeup of 1 tall, 2-3 mid sized players plus smalls.I'd think it's based on needs too.
Richmond you'd not go too tall at the back, new Saint line up you probably would?
I'd have plowman ahead of marchbank in the team but on balance, not necessarily talent.
It's up to Caleb to string it together and win either Jones or lachie's spot for me.
