Yeah Blease and Strauss are the real bonuses for us for 2010. Basically means we will have SIX top-20 picks who haven't debuted yet for 2010!

Could be one of my favorites.

Could be? hahahaha sorry, I know what you mean, but this is a bizarre statement

Tickled my funny bone. You have to agree...

Well he did dominate the 2s of casey, but when playing with casey he took a while to get going a think he had a minor injury before his shoulder.

Though he showed some great signs, i remeber him running from halfback and kicking a goal from 60 out after dodging players and linking up.

Hopefully straussy and blease can get a ripper pre season going!

Can anyone tell me how Blease is going with his injury? I've barely heard a thing about it.

Good news about Strauss, looking forward to seeing him in red & blue.

haha mate,

Are you saying that his a certainty to become a gun?

And that he will definitely be a favorite?

I hope your right

No, it just that he's a favourite or he's not. To say 'he could be' is a bit ridiculous.

Its all dependent on how good he turns out to be.

Newton could be one of my favourites, if he could play like Wayne Carey.

But he can't and it doesn't look like he will, so he's not and won't be.

But I understand where you're coming from - if he develops as expected (and hoped), he will be one of your favourites.

Yeah fair enough, i get what you mean.

I just didnt want to call him one of my favorites untill he plays a game i suppose lol.

I'm exactly the same - can't wait for him to get a game cos I think he'll be a beauty.

Probably why I enjoyed it so much. Partly having a laugh at myself.

I'm right on this kid. Unlike so many of our hopefuls who look like they'd have been champions 15-20 years ago, Strauss looks like exactly the player type you target nowadays. Ok size, built strongly, kicks it like a surgeon. Think Davey with more size and less pace.
