No different to last year. The A side is locked in, none are being pushed out by players in the B side.

They won’t be pushed out by players in the B-side, but we have four [emoji640] returning for R[emoji637] (Rankine, Cumming, Max, Sholl) so decisions must be made…. Plus watching Berry, Pedlar and Schoenberg rip it up in the second half bodes well for the magoos prospects

Pedlar didn't impress me. Had a couple of moment but overall disappointing. Liked Schoenberg game.

Beg to differ.

We've got 4 A graders currently sitting out of the side. If Sholl and Max are fit they play, Cumming plays the trial this week as does Rankine.

By no means is the A side locked in, not all of it.

You were watching a different Pedlar to most of us.... he was average at best, Berry and Harry slightly better.
 
Nicks is just doing his annual bullshit of forgetting the final rounds of last year and basing his 22 on players form vs traffic cones and team mates in January. Milera probably looks great doing this and he plays over Nank due to seniority. He'll take until round 5 to figure this out...
Unlikely

None of them played in the B side though
 
Fogarty was fine, valid question how our forward line will look including Walker, Fogarty, Thilthorpe and Curtin though. My guess for now is it doesn't quite work and Curtin gets forced out.
Curtins versatility helps

On certain days it will work and on others he can go onto wing or into midfield

Some days he may be subbed out for a runner

Semantics.... lol.

I think personally it's hard to judge the B grade guys. They played 3 quarters of a game against last year's wooden spoon SANFL side who appear to have even LESS depth.

The only thing that's clear is Nank was well above that, but we knew that already.

Pedlar tried hard I thought , had a real crack

His ball handling and decision making and kick were off

Schoenberg is decent depth and looks like he’s got his explosiveness back


Taylor is main one for me that can push into the side , have him above Berry , Schoey , Pedlar … especially if he can continue to develop his forward game and be a forward / mid hybrid

Hopefully we see Nank start against brisbane in Milera position , I think it’s pretty clear Nank deserves it

No doubt the injured guys will come in, but they weren't playing in the Bs. Injury notwithstanding, Berry, Pedlar, Schoey and even Jones are going to have a fair task unseating the theoretical best 22. The below doesn't even include Draper. I've asterisked the players who I reckon might be at selection risk after a few weeks of poor performances. But I would be very surprised if any of those are dropped to the 2s in the first few games. AFGM posted he thought both Nank and Bond were strong chances with Dowling and another being sneaky chances. All promising players that have performed when given a chance, but someone has to miss. At this stage I reckon only Sholl will miss, Max probably 50/50.

Let’s say Max is available round 1 ( I have my doubts and would prob be cautious with him ) what you think happens at selection ?

I’d prob leave Sholl out , pick Nank in front of milera

Cumming comes onto that wing and Dowling out , Chayce starts on other wing

Rankine for who ? Does Draper debut as the sub ? Horrible way to debut but it makes sense in some ways

Pretty sure they’re keen to pick Curtin , actually really loved what VB said about him

If max is out I’d play Bond to take higgins again , who is very dangerous
 
I think, being objective, Milera WAS solid. Not better than down, but no disaster either.
I’d say he was generally average. Got involved, but didn’t use the ball to his best capabilities

He’s not that far off the pace, but Nank/Hinge/Laird/Cumming etc should be ahead of him right now

You think Nank is any chance of starting this week and playing round 1 ? I hope so

I’m thinking Sholl has missed too much and won’t play and agree on max it’s 50/50 and I’d err on side of caution and play Bond

I think Chayce is ahead of Dowling for wing and cumming plays other wing

Draper is interesting

Did you stop reading prior to the, "none are being pushed out by players in the B side" bit? It represents exactly 50% of the words used in the the post, it's not like it was hidden amongst paragraph after paragraph.
 
Fogarty was fine, valid question how our forward line will look including Walker, Fogarty, Thilthorpe and Curtin though. My guess for now is it doesn't quite work and Curtin gets forced out.

I think given our draw it will work for some games early but by about a third of the way into the season I think that's what will happen.

It's not that I don't think all four can have an impact and kick goals but it will be what the opposition can generate from defence that will out weigh the benefits.

Tex will be the interesting one. End of last year he was kicking goals but his opponents were hurting us in transition. He will have to get to more contests this year.
