We have seen the TT/ EH combo a bit this pre-season.
That's a change up from the past
Yeah he's working on the ruck, give him until July or we need new cattle.
If he keeps reading BF we’ll make coach out of him

I wonder if he'll thank us when he's on the podium collecting the cup?
Anyone else getting Port Power vibes at the moment? March premiers, baby

Its a better feeling than the last 3 years at least
How long it lasts is in the players hands.
I have strong hopes for a good start to the season but not for a win vs GWS.
It was always going to take a few years before we see the players development come through. The forward line look elite, midfield is looking very promising, defense is a worry with the stall development of Butts, Doedee and Hamill (both due to injuries) and we need to get Thilthorpe to lead our ruck ASAP.
With an improved/ more dynamic mid and Hinge attempting to emulate the best things about the skipper, I think we can be comfortable with Dawson down back this year. He is a massive need, even if he is wasted a little compared to where he might play if he was in the Melbourne or Sydney team.
In terms of building our next list to contend for the premiership, we will need them to recommence their development or our defense is looking more shaky than we thought our midfield was a few years ago.
Yep, bring home Cox - it can't be good for him in Cockburn

Interesting bit about ROB in the Weagles trial from the Mongrel Punt site, which brings home that ROB is costing us goals…
He had another couple of instances where Reilly O’Brien had a clear opportunity to take a grab in this game, but bobbled the ball and lost it. These are the moments that prevent him from becoming an A-Grade ruck. One of these instances cost the Crows a goal, with Jack Petruccelle earning a free kick from the ensuing ground level contest after ROB fumbled.

Watched the replay yesterday.
Geez Hinge was good.
He has a bullet like pass that nearly always laces out to his team mates.. makes great decisions, good mark, sticks his tackles, loves using his speed to break lines..
People joke, and I have in the past, that he can become Dawson the 2nd..
But he really has shown some very promising signs over the last few weeks..
And Dawson has a year in age on him and over 60 games more experience.
Mitch still has a heap of potential development left in him..

Himmelberg is not replacing Walker
I meant Himmelberg will "adequately" take Walker's position in the forward line when he retires if he can improve his consistent, Fogarty will be replacing Walker's class in the forward line. So which other current KPF do you have beside Gollant pushing for this spot in the next 1-2 year? Thilthorpe will be developing into the elite ruckman leading our ruck by that time.

There's gollant too. Arguably a better kick and not as slow.
Golumless
A bigger deal out west.
Probably a tad too optimistic to get to a Dawson 2.0 level. I doubt Mitch has much, if any development left. He's not getting bigger and probably isn't getting quicker or fitter which is really where the vast majority of development. He might refine a little, but I think it's more likely he's another Keays type then a bonafide jet to build around.
And there is no insult in that phrasing whatsoever. Both are very good lads to have populating the mid to lower parts of a lineup. They play difficult roles to be consistent in pretty well (wing, mid-forward), can pinch hit in more important roles when needed, and both have the right qualities a contender wants seeing both have no qualms getting their hands dirty or putting themselves in danger. Pretty handy pick ups for free.

"All the changes"..???
I'm pretty sure my friend Bearded Clam might want to challenge that, with regard Keays still in the team.
