No Cunnington in Slobbo's top 50. Brown 30, Higgins 33.

I must have missed when Jack Viney passed Cunners as a footballer.

He is picking who he thinks will be the top 50 in 2019, not who he thinks are the top 50 right now.

So another completely pointless list with no meaning.

A typically knowledgable, thorough preview of our season from Rohan Connelly. Has us 7th, but admits that could be conservative.

For what it's worth, Mark Duffield in The West Australian has Cunnington at 50, Tarrant 41, Brown 21 and Higgins 20.

Rohen Connelly is sensible and well informed. No wonder he can’t get a job in the mainstream media.

Yeah pretty much. It’s just a talking point. I know when Sheahan did it and I used to listen to SEN they’d talk about it all fwikkin day.

Some bizarre positional stuff there.

Thats what I thought! Just squeezing them all in I guess.

Unlikely to actually look like that on paper but probable correct that some of the mids will rotate up forward and some down back.

Anywho back on topic

Nice feature piece on the AFL Captains in the HUN today speaking about the Maj video

A few ring ins there, Joe Daniher ffs

Not Joe per se, but with all the rings in, why bother?

I am told the Snivelling Sycophant, aka Whateley, said the new 50m rule is ok and the players just need to adapt to it. as expected.

I heard he was ironing Steve Hocking's shirt while he said it, too.

We need to teach Atley to play for frees. I'm serious. Finally found a usable niche for his straight line burst and speed. Duck into some bullshit in the back 50 then run like god intended and either unleash forward before the opposition can effectively counter or simply get another 50 and slot it himself.

It's a ******* farce.

 

[Billy Not Really]

It's actually demeaning to a woman who excels in any field to make mention that it's even more special because she's a woman.

All this gender bullshit has messed up people's heads.

This is probably the most feminist thing I've read for a while, and not in the pejorative sense.

 

[Jasemon]

POTY for me so far.

Have to say I'm with you on that however there are a lot of posts I don't see.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Well yeah, but it doesn't suddenly become less pointless if Cunnington is in there instead of Viney.

Yeah that's why I didn't get excited about the other guy's list.

I spoke to Will at the recent Season Launch. Will said he hopes to return by the first VFL H&A game at Arden St.

Are the media overrating Pittard? I would have LMac and EVW ahead of him, but that is only my opinion. Can he play tall and short? EVW can play taller (because he is tallish), but I dont know if JPit has the strength.
No Turner too!! His defensive pressure is better than anyone on our list, so would think he gets in!!

I think the issue is whether the media's rating has any value at all.

OMG - I forgot to even mention Turner! My point exactly, so many options and yoiu can cut it so many ways.

Anyhow - I dont think they are overatting Pittard, I think they are assuming we will play him , having chased him for a few years and brought him in for a reason.

Time will tell if hes overrated!
