Dawson back, Whitlock forward!

It seems logical but what do you think is going to happen?

Extended bench of talls unsure where they are going to play?

 

[LB2Snake]

Bring in Dermy. I know he's with May but Dermy has been surprisingly pro North.
Or someone

Being North we’d have Boomer part time working with KPF’s wouldn’t we? Or maybe Patch. Both make complete sense. Hopefully Monky working with Banch amd Payne to teach the finer art of small forward craft too.

Probably both down back.

Still feel his skillset leans more naturally to key defence particularly given his good ball use. Nice to see him put a good game together today

Really happy for Trembath who addressed his inaccurate kicking from last weekend and converted in front. Those hands are sticky sticky and he might be a diamond in the rough. We are due to land someone in a MSD

he had a bad day last week,does not mean he is a bad set shot,he kicked 3 goals 2 in his only game at vfl before we drafted him,in his own words in interview he said one of his strengths is his set shot at goal,some people on here a pure reactionary to moments in time,if the same people saw souva kick for the first time for goal in the 2 game horror patch this season where he could not hit the side of a barn,they would think worst kick in the league

I see Jack Whitlock has kicked three goals on 3 occasions in games this year plus a couple of multiples. Any SANFL track watchers here seen him perform in a game?

It will be interesting to see whether he stays this rangey type or puts on some weight.

In any event the game on the weekend showed he can football; the variety of ways he got his goals was noteworthy, ranging from lead/mark, a dinky dribbler and outpacing his man over the back.

Fingers crossed he can put on some size similar to how Shannon Neale has.

Shannon Neale has put on more weight in the last 3 years than our whole playing list combined.

So whitlock is going to the cats?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

If you don't laugh, you'll cry.

The difference in physiques when you look at Adelaide & Geelong vs the rest of the comp is pretty stark.

They have their players absolutely primed for AFL footy.

So he’s a forward now?

So he’s a forward now?

I think the flexibility we're trying to promote in our playing group is working to the detriment of many. I'd just like to see these kids settled in a position for at least a couple of preseason before deciding a path forward. I suppose it's a little less clear with Whitlock given he played at both ends as a junior but i'd like to see him settled behind the ball in his first years as i think that sets up the clearest path to success.
