Not Colin Young is it?

Apologies Joao, I read your post wrong. Thought nit just said he would go if he didn't kick 30 goals.
Well that makes sense, would not be the first to leave for opportunity
They did just spend 3 lots of first round picks on forward or forward rucks so you can't help but think he would be more likely to get opportunities elsewhere
I would have thought Taberner's spot was pretty safe as long as he stays fit.
I can't imagine either of them pinch hitting in the ruck if they have Jackson?

Quick google search and I couldn’t find it but it’s unlikely to be Young since he was a rookie vic kid. Also, if it was Young there’s higher chance it wouldn’t be ‘rumours’ and more just a flat out news article about it

Tab’s definitely gets first dibs and playing at this best he’s probably safe. If Amiss and Treacy are as good as Freo fans hope though then both should be putting a fair bit of pressure on Tabs each week to take his spot, Tabs isn’t exactly a star (unless he’s playing Essendon when he turns into Tony Lockett).
We are all really really interested to see the structure we go with week 1 though, should be interesting given the options

Treacy has alot of mongrel in him... I cant think of any forward in Freo's past that has had this attribute

Thank god
Wouldn't mind him as a Riewoldt replacement.
3 touches on the weekend, I doubt he keeps his spot this week

I think there's an AFL player in there somewhere, just not as a genuine key forward. His ruck and around the ground work is really good at WAFL combined with his field kicking which is fantastic but his hands arent clean enough given his lack of height and jump to make it as a pure full forward. If he makes it, it's as a defender or a fwd/ruck IMO
Would like the Hawks to take a chance on him, our cupboard is pretty bare and feel we're at the development stage where we can take these risks with late picks.
I was half keen at the start of the year but I've gone cold on that.
Didn't look up to round one and really should be able to break into the side at the moment if he's good enough.
