Suprised Nelson and M Allen are not getting a gig if Shuey and Yeo are playing on limited miniutes.

From what I've seen of Nelson in games last year I don't understand the pre season hype by some on here. He seems an average player in all areas. I'd expect Watson to overtake him if he hasn't already but I could be wrong.

I dont disagree with Nelson's averageness, but Watson has shown even less, and is 5 months older. Watson's hype is even more baseless. I hope he proves me wrong and kills it, but I am not gonna hold my breath.
 
Watson has never debuted yet but if you want to compare last year's pre season action for both I would say Watson was more impressive than Nelson. If it wasn't for a few shoddy disposals he actually showed a bit of poise. Time will tell.
I guess those who have been to training and match simulations/ intra club this year would be more qualified to comment.
 
Yes, a great cross-section of our younger and fringe players, yet no Ahchee?
What's the story, not in this JLT..maybe the next one, which will feature a more senior line up no doubt, or seniors getting more minutes.
 
I'm most interested to see how the forwards go. I'm assuming Venners gets the defensive forward role ala Cripps.

Also would be great to get Watson hitting some strong form. Put pressure on the backmen

I’m guessing Achee is injured. Don’t think he trained on Monday and I doubt Cameron would be getting a game ahead of him otherwise

Add Kennedy (if he gets up) to that squad of 26 and you’re looking at the players our round 1 side will be picked from - it’s pretty much our strongest possible team

All i keep hearing from the club about nelson is he has some of the best skills on our list . TBH I have never seen them on display in a game for WCE or wafl . His tank has always been an issue .
Solid depth i would think for the small/medium defender role .

You cant have a list full of guns and nelson will play his part if called into the senior side .

We have some good depth actually

Talls in schofield oallen brander and waterman

Small defenders Watson smith and nelson

Mid Ahchee mallen ainsworth

And when gaff comes back who drops out ? Masten ? Sheed ? Hutch ? Someone will be gone or shunted to a flank .

A lot of our 2nd and 3rd year players have had great pre seasons and will be pushing for selection
 
Think this 6-6-6 is going to suit us very well.. up forward at least. Shame JK isn’t in his prime as if definitely see him putting up an 80 or 90 with the amount of space the forwards are getting. Mid and back might be a separate issue. Not sure how our backs will stand up with it coming in so quick from the centre. After last year though, I’d back our mids to at least half the contest possibly even win it as there’s so much time and space out the back of the bounce. Still nervous how our entire team will go 1 on 1 though, as the defence is built on a total team defence rather than beating your direct opponent..

Nic Nat’s taps will help massively.

Given he doesn’t get huge possessions “a few shoddy disposals” is reason enough tp put him well behind Nelson at this stage

With watson i find his disposal is more out of tiredness/ gets lazy as the quarter goes on . He normally starts games/quarters off well but then is prone to wellinghamesk poor disposal . Not fluffing his kicks just decision making and exicution .

Hopefully he has had a good preseason on the track

Bit surprised Cameron getting. Gig ahead of someone like Allen and rotham.

We are struggling with fitness on several small forwards and have plenty of tall options. If we pick up another injury to a small it would be prudent to give a new fringe smalk forward some exposure at the top level prior to round 1.

Im surprised Cameron is fit after that toe injury pre draft and he is actually up and going.
