modraaaAAAAAaaaaa
I remember at Footy Park there was always that little bit of excitement whenever he was behind a player or a pack when the ball was coming his way. I feel extremely grateful that I got to see him play!
 
WEEEEEEEEEED
Yeah that was iconic as was ROOOO many years later. I used to love watching A. Jarman with such slick skills. His handball skills were sublime, but there were so many. Maynard, McGiness McDermot, Liptak. I could easily go on. The 90’s was a glorious era of footy

Unavailable: Curtin, Rankine, Keane

0% chance of selection even if a plague hits: Welsh, Ludowyke, Cotton, Ryan, Draper


With 5 guys in the above 23 who are genuinely “in doubt”, it seems likely that we dip into that emergency list for Rd 1 at the very least. Bond for me deserves a spot in Rd 1 - along with Pedlar and Toby Murray, he’s right up there in the “most improved” ranks this preseason. I’m only listing him behind the likes of Laird and Nankervis because I think that’s where the selectors have him in the pecking order.

I wouldn’t pick Berry, but the selectors will. He’s one of a host of players who will be under pressure to hold their spot with the impending return of Rankine though. It feels to me like Z Taylor will get a game in Rd 1 because 1-3 of the “in doubt” players won’t get up, and then Taylor will be the one who gives way for Rankine.

I’m not convinced that I’d pick Walker, but the selectors will.

I think T Murray is locked in for Rd 1 now, regardless of Thilthorpe’s status. Looks like most teams are using the 5th bench slot to go taller. I don’t hate it.

Not really convinced we’ll see much of Hinge at senior level this year, or maybe ever again. Squad just seems to have moved past him.

Our midfield absolutely stinks.
