[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

We always have just enough injuries that our duds play

We always have just enough injuries that our duds play

5 seniors + a couple of duds, we should still be playing 15 players under 23 yo per game.

Jake was dropped twice last year. But each game he missed Doedee got injured and he was straight back.

Doedee started calling himself Lazarus and jinxed himself in the process.

Jones ..

fmd Gollant still looks like an U/16er .. he's going to be 6 meals a day for a while yet

I wish Jones had that kind of rig.

 

[Ozzie]

What did he do to Chayce ?

Messed with his head. Made him play a totally different role that got him drafted in the 1 st place. Jones in the end was that uncertain of how Godden wanted him to play, he was standing on the outside of packs ball watching. It was cruel to have to watch it.
Worst part is if Jones has to play SANFL to start the year, he will have to contend with Godden as his coach again. Hopefully the psyche the club sent him to at season's end will keep his head straight. Time will tell.

Who is it? I'm terrible at spotting players from pix.
But I agree he's built.

Zoom in on the pic his name is on it

Sam Berry

He has a frame not unlike Michael Voss - bear like

Interestingly Fever Tree Tonic is worse than Schweppes View attachment 1045020

That’s because fever tree tastes like slightly bitter lemonade. I don’t know why people love it so much. It’s is only premium for the US market because it uses sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.

Sam Berry

Bloody hell mate he's look like a tank.

 

[CrowinNT]

They did an interview with him just recently

Oh, I am going to be insufferable (well... more) if he gets games early on.

 

[WeeBlake]

Re outrageous shreddedness in recent photos, pretty much all photos get processing these days in software. You can adjust parameters easily to enhance contrast. A lot of these photos look like they’ve had the ‘preseason ripped’ filter applied pretty heavily.

Kelly is a good senior guy to have as backup. The issue comes, like it did with Kyle Cheney a bit were coaches like the consistency they bring due to their experience and overlook youngsters with more potential.

 

[briztoon]

Is it just me or are players from all clubs back on the show muscles again?

Nope. With the exception of Jack Payne, almost all our players have leaned out over the preseason.

That's not surprising, I posted in season that the expression on Jones' face at a quarter break huddle was as if he was about to cry. He just looked like he was under that much pressure.

The problem with Kelly is that he's a momentum killer. If you value a game plan, style or playing a certain way, he simply shouldn't get selected as he ruins it.

What's worse is the opposition knows that so they cover other options and leave Kelly open as the next link in the chain. Gives then time to set up downfield for the intercept/counter attack.

Even during the preseason training photos, he looks under immense pressure a bit miserable.

Hope he gets over the hump.

He's a very serious kid, need to learn to relax.

 

[betterthanu]

He's a very serious kid, need to learn to relax.

Just needs one good game early on and he will probably feel a lot of weight drop from his shoulders.

 

[triggyscrewedus]

Lots of talk/banter around Jones.. we all hope he clicks and strings a few good games together then he's is off and running..

Any news on Fish this pre season ? (Other than that run) he did one or two good things last yr. Hoping to see rapid improvement from pick 7.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

There were games where we appeared to have him running with opposition players.

This season we just need to set him loose. I would run him mainly off a wing with license.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

What's worse is the opposition knows that so they cover other options and leave Kelly open as the next link in the chain. Gives then time to set up downfield for the intercept/counter attack.

Which is why if we have the likes of Milera, Hamill, McPherson & Doedee instead, our ball movement will be far better.
