For those that watched or went down, is Elliott the only real candidate to be in next week?
We could really use another crafty small/medium forward who is clever around the sticks.

I don't really pay Attention to the Bests I think they just look at Stats and make up the Best from that

Yeah , I like the kid and believe he has got good solid potential, as with borthwick , like the way he gets in and has a dipYes he did but I kept getting confused between him and Gus Borthwick because he was wearing 47 and Gus was wearing 48. So as a duo I think they did well but I couldn't tell you how they did individually
Going to miss Ferguson though
But we all move on eventually
Thanks for the info
8-10 weeks is not a 'comeback trail' but a dark road stretching into the blackness of a moonless night. Put your glasses down because it will be an eternity before he physically inserts himself into the selection process.

The confusion really dials up when Campbell Lane is playing in the same side. Him and Tardrew look like brothers!

Can someone please explain the whole keeffe up forward thing? For starters he cant mark overhead. So thats already got him fingered. But if that hasnt fingered him enough....bucks played him forward in the 2012 elimination final v port and he looked absolutely shithouse. Like even his mother would have said he was total shitful that night and she would have been wishing to never see him play up forward again. Yet buckley is persisting......like trying to push s**t up hill really. The whole thing just has me fingered
Bux a bit like Malthouse in this regard.
Trying to mould a player in a role that he seems unsuitable for.
Maybe it's a way of training them for the role they naturally play. If your a back man, it doesn't hurt to be exposed to some of the best backmen in the game and see how they go about it.
If your a forward, helps to know what the best forwards will handle defence, so a stint down back will open your eyes.
You wouldn't do it if your in the window, but if your aspiring to be in the window then rounding out your players is part of the job.
sure I read or heard that Goldy did his first full preseason in years.

You're looking at it totally the wrong way.
Try using the process of elimination method.
There are three lines in a footy team - defence, midfield and forwards.
Forget midfield, that's laughable.
Defence or Forward, which has he been the least awful? Forward, clearly.
they're first class spin merchants.

He ran as if Billy was shouting out "Free hugs!"...

De Goey is better suited to that role anyway.
Looking at the reviews of Elliott's game; we may not be able to open Hine's Christmas presents, but an Easter egg could certainly be in the offing!

Ummmm.... I'm not sure what that has to do with hugging Kirby, but ok?
I am pretty excited about some of the talent running around to today. Elliot obviously is great to see playing the game out and the form is just a bonus. Scharenburg is just full of composure and looks like a 50 game player at times we need him in ASAP. Brown & Daicos are showing enough to suggest the hype wasn't just hype, will be senior footballers for a long time, but they need some games pumped into them at VFL level. And finally Kirby, who has something very special about him I think he can make an impact a lot earlier than expected, a natural goal kicker and we don't have many of these.
I would like to see Elliot, Scharenburg, Daicos, Kirby, Wells & De Goey all in our best 22 by the end of the year they will bring so much class and danger and god damn entertainment.

Off topic maybe , I know , but could not help myself as Cloke may find himself in the magoos in the short interim
sadly true DD, Trav's biggest problem is he's a daddy's boy and actually thinks David isn't brain dead.
