Looking over the stats from the NB games and noticed a B Myers on the list and was thinking if he was the one that played for the Giants academy last year? Brendan Myers originally from Wagga and I thought he could possibly be a rookie pick but missed out and good on him for heading down to play in Melbourne and making it into the VFL if it is him of course

I would have a lot to say to our medical and fitness team regarding Kennedy in round one and ever since
On face value it does seem to have been mishandled and somewhat amateurish

Too many players come back, reinjure the same injury, appear to come back early only to reinjure, rinse & repeat...

That's exactly who it is, but he's not really taking to the opportunity with gusto at this point.

Is it a coincidence that JGM has seemingly had his best few games in recent weeks, after being forced into his desired role?

Whether that be the case or not, that's why I don't like having too many of one type as we're forced into re-inventing others, with results mostly doomed to failure.

When Macreadie comes back, let's play him at CHB until (all being well) he demands a spot in the senior team.
Switch him from flanks, to wings to forward roles may not end well.

It's 100% Weitering organising the defence. JGM is gone.

It has everything to do with what you've put forward about JGM, and even Fraser has said as much.

I don't even understand how you could be more obtuse about this.
Nothing to do with playing in his preferred post, but all to do with Weitering?
Not Rowe, not ASilvagni who organise well, not the fact that there are less talls cluttering up the back-line, but his seemingly better performances can only be attributed to Weitering? OK.

Weitering organising the defence has clearly been benificial to how he positions himself and attacks the contest.

Rowe doesn't position himself that well, and isn't quick enough to make/demonstrate big or critical plays. ASOS is a traditional defender who uses his burst to make position.

Can't agree more - I can't wait to see Williamson on one wing and O'Brien on the other - the forwards will be licking their chops.
With Zones I really like Willo off HB. He is so composed and his left foot and can turn defence into attack so quickly. Can kick over the zones and I like him doing the kick outs as well. Once he and Lochie get comfortable their kicking will be a massive advantage.

Be nice to see the left footers in Willo O'Brien Simmo & Gaff all on the one side of the ground :)
