If he has no more set backs I'm sure Hill will play round one.
Before Xmas he just looked and moved like 2013/5 Hill.

Why do I get the feeling that it’s going to be a “start the car moment” with Frederick!
You’ll get an idea from the JLT. But Hogan is clearly ahead of Pearce, Wilson & Mundy.
They will pick Rd 1 team from those who have the necessary conditioning in JLT#1 and #2. Remember there is essentially 2-weeks between JLT #2 and Rd 1 so with that additional conditioning expect all three to be available in the early rounds (ie Rounds 3-4). With their interrupted Pre-seasons I would give them (Pearce, Wilson & Mundy) all the time they need to condition and be cherry ripe.
I also see no reason why SHill can’t be available for Rd1.
Sounds like a dream having Hogan and other tall forwards available. Quite happy to have mature players being added as we go too.
Wilson I think we can cover with several half backs looking for opportunity, and Hill and Aish in for 2020. Young will be fast tracked, but maybe not round 1.
Mundy not available I hope is covered by Acres and Cerra being given more midfield responsibility, although it would have been ideal to have had Valente getting a few games last season too.
Pearce is super important to our defense and it was interesting to read Cox was played at fb in the most recent match sim. Not my preference. I like greater mobility and would be looking at Hughes or Duman for some games. Not ideal. I guess Cox allows Logue to be 3rd tall, which is good.
Anyone got any word on how Blakely has been going in training and match sim?
Seems to be plenty of chat about Mccarthy on the wing, the new recruits and the other usual suspects but haven't seen a thing about Blakely.
He's the interesting one for mine, could really do with a big lift from him and he's likely to have a much larger role this year.

He’s a very good midfielder, always has been. Hopefully we’ll see him there from now

The Bakery does a lot right but his lack of two-way running or preparedness to even get in the ******* way when we lose out of stoppage has hurt us.
While games are not lost in single instants, his efforts in the Carlton game last season still haunt me.
Hunt the ball, sure, Bakery, but kill people. Win ball, use your hands, not your feet. Kill people.

Debuts by 1st year players before round 3 since 2017
Logue R3 2017
Brayshaw R1 2018
Banfield R1 2018
Cerra R2 2018
Crowden R2 2018
Lachie Schulz R1 2019
Plus 2-4 new players to the club each year. How many debuts should we have early on? What number does Longmuir have to debut to hold off the calls of play the kids.
JL should be playing his best 22 as we only
Cerra would have been pick round 1 but he was recovering from injury.

agree. you get a number of these guys who come in because they are super fast/can run all day, but often their disposal lets them down. Monaro's disposal has seemed pretty tidy to date, even off a hard run.

Let the cobblers do the cobbling
I just slid off my seat
Hogan should be given 100% regardless round 1. But he has have a lengthy break so about fair for his rehab?
Our defence is going to be a problem ala Hamling/Logue have to shoulder the load again post Pearce injury as in 2019.
Even if Cox plays as a CHB interceptor, that would be beneficial for the team. He can mark and kick. Tobe Watson is another good prospect. Lack of defensive talls could be an issue early. Lots of reshuffling and having types like Hughes in and out

I'm hopeful that his 2019 season was reflective of a lack of pre-season and general fitness coming back from his hamstring injury that didn't see him play for the first few months of the season. Knee injury in 18, then hammie in 19 meant close to 12 months out of footy.
To be fair to Ross, he debuted Andy in the first possible game and Adam in the next.
Banfield didn’t wait too long either if I recall .

And some of them were given many more chances than experienced players
Because when the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets and JLO will steer his stars.
Sorry kids, you had to be around in the 1960’s to appreciate that one.

I really rate the bloke. Be super helpful if he is past his injury setbacks and could settle as part of one our routine midfield rotations. He really does know how to get the pill.
Or be in that very niche group that likes football and musicals.
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation.
Just so the kids know what the hell we’re talking about.
