We all pot shot Hopper and Taranto but hoping yesterday can be the new standard going forward.

61 touches, 15 score involvements and 9 tackles combined. Against a stacked midfield as well.
They did well and can see they had better output when the young ones stepped up, Lalor just quietly accumulating.

How good was Simms and Faull's marking yesterday in challenging conditions, particularly last quarter. Simms deserves to debut soon. Might as well replace Bauer who's been disappointing. MRJ is a bust. 2 more years of him and kozitsche stinking it up being bung average to lousy in the magoos
couple of years faull will be terrifying for oppo defences. can fully see why he went where he did now.

Kozi is our worst KPP, a bust, we got that one wrong. Not sure what we saw in him, but you win some and lose some.

Really liking what our 2 MSD picks are doing. Grays move down back looks a good one, he looks to be a natural. Great Athleticism and he’s hard at it. I lost count of the amount of times he crashed packs and spoiled marking contests yesterday and looks assured at ground level.

With Blight preferred forward and 2nd ruck, Gray could get a chance sooner rather than later.

It’s difficult to find a spot for him because we’ve got Balta due back, and I assume he plays KPD. But there’ll be injuries during the season.
I reckon at AFL level he’d be great on the more athletic KPF’s, yesterday for example I think he’d have been a good match up on Morris.

Yeah true, I dont want to start the debate again, but Jeez Balta as 2nd ruck would be tops

He’s done well in that role before, no doubt we could play him as a genuine swingman, which would include 2nd ruck duties, he’s like another mid when the ball hits the ground.

I’ve got a feeling Yze will want to settle him in defence though.

And probably should.

Going to be interesting how we fit in all these talls in 3-4 seasons.

Faull and Armstrong as your two key position forwards.
Sims as a rotating fwd/Ruck but playing all three plus a genuine ruck may be a bit tall.
Is there a future for a Fawcett in this group?

Trainor, Gibcus, Balta as your key backs.

Ryan, Bauer, Young, Miller, Lefau all still unknown.
I don’t reckon young gets another contract
 
2024 Yze started the season with Balta forward before injury to Young & Gibcus, moved forward again to give Blight a game.

Blight and Miller playing well enough. Blight named KPD but playing a lot up forward. Bauer is maybe who he comes in for.
Yea likely and but unlucky too as he certainly shows a bit at afl level , pity he didn’t kick at least one of his shots
 
Tom McCarthy being pumped up on AFL- gettables, as a pick 1 chance in the MSD.
He’s certainly been one that plenty of VFL watchers have been on for a while.
Said it earlier in the season he reminds me a bit of Durham during his time on our VFL list. Tallish winger/hb, who has great speed/endurance and a long boot. Starting to play more midfield time too, which only adds to his appeal

I do agree that Bauer has been a tad disappointing so far but watching agenda setters last night and up popped this stat.

Is that right?

He has missed a couple of gimmes in front, wonder how our thoughts would be if he had converted.
