Latest whisper which will please many.
Clark and Coffield training very strongly and in good nick.
Already been mentioned, but Howard is a bona fide nbl. He will be a great get.

Ah, gotcha.
Useful when it looks like Bytel could be a leader, adding that group of younger leaders, it’s well needed.

Howard has all the makings of being a genuine GOAT replacement.
I heard that all fit players are training well. Well I didn’t but I can guess that whisper.

All the really great players finish last in the time trials. He's ticking all the right boxes. The Goats always run inside the cones and the blue lines too. Because you can, when you know nobody has got the guts to drop you.

The big change this year is our depth , past years we kept playing Weller , Newnes , Acres etc because we had nothing else.
This year totally different if most of the team stays fit.
Geary - Howard - Wilkie
Roberton - Carlisle - Webster
Billings - Hannebery - Hill
Butler - Battle - Jones
Gresham - Membery - King
Marshall - Steele - Hunter Clark
Ross / Ryder / Sinclair / Dunstan / Paton / Kent / Long / Bytel / Austin / Lonie / Parker / Hind / Langlands / Phillips / Marsh / Clavarino / Joyce / Mayo / Brown / Savage
we now have plenty of options

O
Over saw our premiership tilts. What was your contribution again? Oh that's right, nobody knows nor cares.
Please feel free to share your enormous contribution to the club's recruiting. Doing ok is Peakey, down at Geelong. Perennial finalists. Built their premiership winning dynasty, which is why we recruited him in the first place.

100% agree. And I welcome it. The strategy only works though if everyone is being picked on merit, and that raises some very interesting questions.
- Will Captain Geary be gifted a spot if his biggest strength which is his tenacity through running power is diminished due to injury? I think Paton may be front running for his position.
- Will Brown be consigned to be depth only? He seems to be having a career best pre-season. If he's good enough should he play? I think he may have Howards measure right now. But, I think they're both depth behind Carlisle and Battle if both are fit.
- Will Ryder be gifted games, because Marshall is the future? Does the better tap ruckman get the main gig? Do we even play both?

DEPTH? Dont forget one mans depth is next years discards......one can only make that call regarding depth when a vast number of these players prove their worth...although i'm truly excited about the pace of change there is still only one or two that have shown signs and we may still be pretty shallow when push comes to shove. Having said that I do really want to get carried away with it all. Stuck on the razors edge staring into the abyss....torn between the exhilaration of unbridled hope and the unbearable gravity of reality.....hic up!!! @@%$%# look allow me to show you perfect control....buuurp! oops sorry!!

I was using actual form , the Bombers got flogged by 70 plus points the week before , Hawthorn were missing their best mid plus an ageing list , Everyone knew GCS were going to be bottom so nothing to be excited by beating them and the Demons have been our bunnies for years except for the rare win by them.
The point is we were just not ready or good enough this year to do any real damage , i dont think we will be next year either but in 2021 i expect massive improvement .

What we have here is a failure to communicate!
The Captain going Back to the Future with his predictions! I like the lateral thinking man
But does that mean we have to reappoint bloody Watters then for the 2012 season?

Ok , you got me big time , lets try 2021
Glad he helped Geelong. Unfortunately he didn’t help our club.

Risky tried to get back to 1966 however fell somewhat short.
To be fair, he lacks a bit of the budget, technology and brain power of the fella who managed to zap back several decades
