Game Day North vs Bulldogs. Preseason game 1. Welcome back Maj.

[GunSchwatta]

Remember Kingy and Byron streaming out of defence, ball tucked in and straight lines?

Memories : (

I'd rate all of the below better than nearly everyone we have.


Attacking HBF - Whitfield, Houli, Lloyd, Williams, Laird, Saad, Sheppard, Wilson, Rich, Newman, Stack.
Lockdown/Intercept - Stewart, Haynes, Rampe, Sicily,
Combo - Hurn, Vlaustin, B.Smith, Byrne-Jones, Langdon, Mills

So Pittard or Atley might make the top 25 as it stands....

Pittard probably would.

It's not as bad as it looks - I mean, there are 18 teams, so the naive expectation is that most teams have one in the top 25, with the better teams having two.

I always copped blowback for it but that's why I liked Mullett. He was far from a complete player but at least in his run and long kicking/goals he had WEAPONS.

Well no, it's no surprise the two grand finalists have 3 x players in that list.

I was probably doing a bit of a disservice to Witherden, Howe and Maynard.

Who should all be in there and it's a trend that the top teams entire medium defensive stocks are better than our best.

Mate even bloody Billy Hartung provided a refreshing dose of run and attack compared to the incumbent lot

I know he didn't do anything at Carlton but I honestly don't think we handled his development well (like quite a few others) - then he lost some pace due to injury and done. Was always a fan and in fact I think his best was quite impressive.

He was very handy in 2013-14 and pretty much the only player I can recall since Turtle who could burst out of defence and score against the play.

Thank you all ^. Always thought Harding a bit underrated

Did anyone else think that Xerri had a passing resemblance to a certain McKernan about him on Saturday night? Just in the general size/gait department.
