Speaking of tackles, Koby landed five in only half a game of footy. He also got 15 disposals and 6 inside fifties. I can see him playing round one. He's in brilliant condition, and when wannabe Heroes like Brayshaw want to act like a tough guy, let Koby give them a reality check.
I like him a lot. I think he should be in the side for Round 1 based on his performance. He just goes about it and gets it done - we sort of need more of that in the midfield in my opinion.Disappointing performance in AFLX followed by non-selection in the JLT 1 v Carlton (was emergency but played for Sandringham in the curtain raiser at dark and windy park) suggests Koby is on the outer.
I reckon he is a best 22 player, so I was disappointed to see him sit on the pine for all but the last minutes of the first half. His performance was quite encouraging once he was given a chance. I'm not suggesting that he was the difference that brought StKilda back into the match, but he certainly contributed.

Agree with alot of this. Except he is that hard at the ball of sets standards for the boys. He is also good at hitting up targets. Prefer the youth however .I like him as depth but he has too many serious flaws in his game for our younger mids not to play before him. He can find the footy and puts his body on the line but he’s a classical “no hurt” player.
If we can only play three of Acres, Dunstan, Steele, Stevens then I know who I’d be leaving out.
FB: Geary - Brown - Webster
HB: Roberton - Carlisle - Savage
C: Sinclair - Steele - Acres
HF: Gresham - Bruce - Billings
FF: Clark - McCartin - Membrey
R: Longer - Ross - Steven
I: Newnes - Armitage - Stevens - Long
Newnes to rotate through half back and wing.
Armitage and Stevens to rotate through midfield.
Long to rotate through small forward role.
Genuinely bewildered as to Dunstan’s whereabouts. How is he not even an emergency?... has to be injured.
Still think Coffield showed far far far more than Long in preseason, shocked to see Long selected ahead of him. I thought we were going to rotate mids through the forward line...
Anyways, it’s a good looking line up overall. Pretty keen to see how we go against the Lions. No excuses, should be a 4-5 goal win.
