Looking forward to track watchers observations on how players are moving, looking etc.
Players like Fish, O'Brien, Kemp, Parks, Philp have all been under-developed since they've been on the list (I know they are young, but other teams seem to develop their youngsters physically). Although Kemp is a good size he seemed to get rag dolled a bit last year. Do they look AFL size/strength?
Is Charlie kicking the ball well? He had a tendency in his games last year to try and overkick everything. Is he jumping for marks? He didn't last year.
Is Harry stronger in the core? He got pushed off the ball a lot last year. Could kick 75 goals if he can hold his ground in marking contests.
Has TDK got stronger in the core?
Has Kennedy finally lost that puppy fat and is now at his optimum fitness level (ie. is he moving around the ground better?). The couple of photos of him I've seen look like he has transformed his body shape.
Does McGovern look good in defence (as the 3rd tall)? He has the speed, marking prowess, aggression and foot skills, so it is possible, if not unlikely.
Thoughts on our new recruits:
Can Young hold down a KPD position?
Are Boyd's foot skills as good as we've been told?
Are Cerra's skills as good as we are led to believe?
Is Hewitt as good a defensive runner as we are led to believe?
Is Cripps fit?
Is Martin fit?
Is Williams fit?
How are the rehab players moving?
I know this is a big ask, but hoping everything is covered from the track-watchers over the next 1-2 months..
