Big William training like he lost his spot last year.
I'm honestly surprised supporters have written him off.
Maybe because he can't mark and can't get the ball

You might just be his biggest fan but I dare you to call him Willy (no matter how tempting it must be)Big William training like he lost his spot last year.

I would say that team is close to spot on with Koby Stevens spot being the one that could go to 4-5 players.We'll be playing two Key defenders in Round 1. Roberton is not and will never be a KPD. Ask Bruce and Paddy who is giving them the most trouble in the match sim drills and they'll both tell you Brown. If fit he's a lock.
Also I wouldn't necessarily say that Gresham is a lock as most seem to think here. If he's picked early it's as a small forward and right now I have Lonie ahead of him.
When you try and put together a 22 it's becoming very difficult, and that's a sign that we are putting together a very nice list.
This is how I think it may look in Round 1, not necessarily the team I would select:
B: Geary. Brown. Dempster.
HB: Savage. Carlisle. Montagna
C: Riewoldt. Acres. Newnes
HF: Billings. Bruce. Weller
F: Lonie. Mccartin. Membrey
FOLL: Hickey. Ross. Steven.
INT: Gilbert. Roberton. Armitage. Stevens

had an interesting conversation with someone from the oakliegh u18 inner sanctum. the past 5 years there he had toby mclean no 1 and dmac no 2 as the best footballers hes seen from oakleigh. he was surprised billings went no 3.

Back on topic guys.
I think Holmes is a better ruckman than Longer.....
.....whose with me?
Had no doubts it would be an unpopular opinion, but from what Ive seen I think so.
Both look to average a similar number of hit-outs, but its more to do with the effectiveness of those hitouts; far more of Holmes' hitouts seem to be to advantage.
Both offer little else in disposal or scoring; Longer slightly ahead but near enough to no difference.
Holmes' defensive work seems good enough for a big guy and the selectors have enough confidence to play him (even if it is only as a 'test').
Also Holmes' figures are from a pool of 5 games and probably has room for improvement as he continues to learn and develop, whereas Billy could well be at his ceiling.
Thats just my (admittedly very much uninformed) take on it.
What would you say are the pros/cons of each?
I think Billy ate someone called Holmes...Back on topic guys.

he just says it how he saw it. its a huge year for jack if he doesnt improve he will struggle to get a game.That made for some good reading until the last sentence which shows this persons judgement is....questionable.
Lol. Really? Struggle to get a game? Even injured he was getting 20 a game.he just says it how he saw it. its a huge year for jack if he doesnt improve he will struggle to get a game.
he got dropped last year so lets hope he cements his spot. theres a lot of players going for his spot. if he gets dropped at any stage getting back in wont be easy.Lol. Really? Struggle to get a game? Even injured he was getting 20 a game.
Some statements.

Wasn't he only dropped because of an ankle injury that he'd been playing with?
Exactly. Played all year with an injury and still often got 20 + possessions.Wasn't he only dropped because of an ankle injury that he'd been playing with?
if he had an ankle injury wtf was he doing playing in the twos. i think the club has got better at not butchering injured players. if he played while injured thats terrible management. either way his spot in the team in not gauranteed.Wasn't he only dropped because of an ankle injury that he'd been playing with?
