[Its a Process]

Plus 1 on Ford and the way he kept his feet after LMac's spoil was first class.

Thats the first i have seen of him but based on that vision he moves very well.

Spicer's tackle was great, but damn Luke what are you doing?

 

[Horizons_00]

Surely Bmac is before J.Walker

Not much obviously.

Mostly continuing the joke (if making it a little more low-brow than our esteemed moderator KC), but semi-seriously; If he was HUGE, it could be Mason's Brother and ex-Freo forward who got delisted a couple of months back. He's originally from Tassie, is 6-5 tall & does look a bit like Skinner:

I was there for the first half today.
It was a pretty serious hit-out... the boys were going in hard!
From what I seen:
Cunners was looking really good before getting KO’d
Jed was everywhere. LDU & Jy are smooth AF & look primed for a big year.
Silver was getting used a lot coming out of defence & is a beautiful kick of the footy.
Ziebs looks ok down back. Took a couple intercept grabs.
Hall was good for the Blue team, takes it on, but made some errors.
Stepho was lively around the ground & had some chances up forward. Beautiful set shot for goal.
Phillips got a fair bit of it when he started in the middle. Looked a bit lost when he wasn’t playing around the ball.
Ford has a real crack.. doesn’t mind flying for a mark.
Powell was working his way into it.
Spicer is very lively - he just zips around the ground.
Scott was very impressive. Had a heap of it & just gets to good spots to receive.
Shame I couldn’t stick around for the second half.
Looking forward to reports from other who were there.

The best news is Scott flying under the radar as that versatile outside player.

 

[Val Keating]

So are we saying Powell is more likely to debut first before the other draftees? That would be exciting

From what I’ve seen Lazzaro would be closest

To be honest you saw the best. It petered out a bit after half time. The last quarter was just going through the motions a bit.

Luke was excellent today. Will improve on last year imo

Oh no doubt it wasn't inidcative of his wider work, just surprised.

Top handful of players on the ground

Lack of talk from his teammates telling him he’s hot

Campbell gave Goldy an absolute bath in the ruck. Goldy had him everywhere else but couldn’t match it with Campbell in the ruck. Campbell is the perfect opponent for Goldy to train against.

It was bizarre. Maybe Spicey P should be known as ”Whispering Death”.

Campbell is a lot bigger then Goldy

 

[The Warlord]

Scott playing well. Involved in everything.

This. Bailey is so composed. Will be 200 game player. Absolute steal where we got him in draft

 

[Gippy Roo]

Two pages trying to work out who is Apples ffs - we’re all cooked

lol. Goldie is an AA ruckman and top 2 in the league. Shouldn’t be happening.

 

[Gippy Roo]

Powell has already purchased acreage in Gippsland and 500 head of cattle just to start getting a feel for the character.

Good lad!

Is it? Last year it looked like a lot of the time Goldy would jump low and late at the ball so that he could keep the other ruck off it then be in a position to get involved once the ball was on the deck. He also seems to have prioritised running ability over size.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Phillips looks a bit lost when he’s not in the middle imo

See ball, get ball.

He needs to be allowed to hunt the ball.

Oh Frick I actually didn’t know that lol

It depends how you see it, obviously in the way you describe it, no.
