I really like Davis as a defender. Great size and athletic profile to be a third tall, and clearly is skilled by foot.
If Doedee doesn't get up, I'd have him only behind Worrell to take that role.

Nice elevation by Fisch...
Golumless
A bigger deal out west.
Alright thoughts of that trial:
Good (I'm not going to worry about bad/ugly, it's a trial game, and a pretty bruise free one at that):
WaynesWorld19 is absolutely off the money if he think Schoenberg is going to have a down year this. Struggled as a forward, but the moment he switched into the midfield, he looked very good.
Butts looked pretty solid.
Jones played well. Faded when red got on top, but any day where you get two goals is a good day.
Sholl played well. Faded when red got on top, but any day where you get two goals is a good day.
Thilthorpe looked good on the wing. Also took a really good contested mark and goal in the third. Very promising.
Rowe took a step forward to locking up that round 1 debut. If it was a 90% chance coming into this game, it's now 95%. Was very dangerous.
I didn't mind Fogartys game. I don't think he's a key forward in the mid to long term, but got a goal and played a role in a few others is pretty ok in a supporting role. It was Tex/Framptons day today.
Similar to Himmelberg. Didn't get a lot of it, but did well when he did.
Hately, and Keays were industrious all day.
McHenry looked very good, bar a couple of brain fades.
Milera looked confident which is very good.
Big winners:
Pedlar looks like he'll be quite the player, and not far off a debut either. He's got a dynamic streak, and a bit of class that a lot of players don't.
Berry was industrious and got two goals. He certainly edges closer to a debut off that performance.
Newchurch was busy all day and got a couple of goals in a losing side. Murphy is praying he doesn't learn how to tackle.
Frampton reminded us all that he's existing. That's more than most other lucky recipients of the Angus Graham list position.
Worrell looked good. Intercepted well and played with aggression every moment he could. He's going a long was to alleviate concerns I've had about his future in the last couple of weeks.
All in all, I don't think that game changes anything with our best 22, but that + a good showing against Port could really see Pedlar/Berry start to demand a best 22 spot.

Newchurch has gone from a low probability to make the grade, to a good chance .....impressed yesterday in his willingness to embrace the contest
Is it possible that Berry replaces Murphy as that pressure fwd ......Berry's flexibility to go into the midfield as well, in my mind has me leaning in that path
Gotta find a way of having both Pedlar & Berry in the team
Also super impressed with Gollant
Davis looked good in that role, but I hope it is just a short stint to help him ultimately develop as a forward.
The problem is that we most definitely don't have a need for Davis in that spot. We have plenty of mid sized defenders. What we need is a Lynch replacement.
I'd love to see Worrell perhaps play as a midfielder moving forwards. He's got something as a player and could be special. Just have to find the right spot for him.

A LOT of big calls being made on an early INTERNAL trial !!!
How about we just cool our jets and wait until the season proper before we write anyone off OR blow someone up into the next big thing?

Absolutely agree regarding Schoenberg. Was pretty quiet at half forward but had an instant impact when put on the ball in the last. I'm not concerned about him in the slightest. He's quality.
Our future midfield is starting to really take shape.
After watching a full replay of the game I can make some comments.
Newchurch surprised me. He has good instincts combined with explosive speed. Definite potential for an AFL career.
Pedlar and Berry were sublime. The obvious standouts in the red midfield. I could see both of these guys getting games early if any of our mids start the season off the boil. It will be good to have real competition for spots.
Keays and Laird both look like continuing on with their 2020 form.
Frampton and Tex were the standout forwards. Thilthorpe also did some good work on the wing and kicked a great goal late in the game.
McHenry was decent and had an influence on the game but lacked composure. Should of had another goal.
Hately got a fair amount of the footy but burned it pretty badly.
Fogarty pretty quiet. Looked frustrated. He does look fitter. I think McPherson may have been marking him and did a pretty good job of taking him out of the game.
Worrell looks solid. Nice blend of height and mobility. He also surprised me with his composure under pressure. He's got to be a real chance of getting games soon.
Schoenberg pretty quiet but there were flashes of real brilliance eg. selling the dummy.
Jones didn't get a huge amount of it but he was damaging with the possessions he had.
Seedsman looks to be in good form in metres per gained sort of way. His long kicking could be really handy.
O'Connor has the body to play AFL and did some nice work in close. Would need to win more of the footy if he's a chance to play AFL though.
Not sure about Strachan. He got beaten by Frampton late in the game which is not a good look.
Not sure Gollant is suited to play forward. It's an interesting experiment though. Could pay dividends given his aerial ability. Needs more time in the gym.

He’s not a defender IMO. He looks just as unhappy as I am with him being a defender.

He's most certainly a defender, and a good one.
He's just got a wicked resting b!TCH face
Pity Lever's dad is.....but hey got a good pay check for his son.
Didn't Nick Reiwoldt play his best footy on the wing and floating back into the forward line.

Definitely wasn't going hard at it, the guys pretty much our most important player his job is just to get a little bit of touch and stay fit through these practices.
Looks like we might actually have more depth than I thought we did.
Worrell looked pretty good to me.
I actually didn't mind Davis in defence.He was composed when he needed to be, skillful when delivering passes. marked the ball when it was there to be marked and had speed when he needed to break away. Surprised me actually.
Pedler and Berry when fit will be a massive asset for out midfiled. Pedler in particular with his combination of hardness, explosiveness and cleaness is not something i think we've had.
Thilthorpe will be a nightmare for opposition players when fit.
Frampton did pretty well and did enough to suggest he is worth giving a run at some stage.

Nope played his best footy at Centre Half Forward..All Australian on 5 occasions always named at Half Forward. Late in his career he played the type of role you mention.
