Dean Terlich......

 

 

I'll let my self out

I know that you're being facetious, but I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing how Terlich goes. By most accounts he's had a great preseason, and based on this positive report, he's in fantastic shape having shed 8kg and recorded a personal best in the 3km time-trial. While I know it's highly unlikely that he'll come into the team and become one of our best players, I'll be watching with interest to see whether his strong pre-season translates into on-field improvement in 2016. It sounds like his hard work has at least put him in strong contention for selection in the NAB matches.

All, but I chose Petracca.

I almost feel guilty for not selecting Jesse, such is my manlove, but I already know what he'll do.

Can't wait to see Trenners, but I also know his talent (when fit) and I expect him to make a full recovery.

Can't wait to see Oliver and reckon he'll show as much as Brayshaw (if not more).

But Petracca is a special talent that we've been denied and at 20 years of age, even though it's his first year of playing, he can really make the competition stand up and take notice.

he's already been injured twice before playing a game. Let's hope he hasn't been damaged or that he isn't one of 'those' players who can't get on the park eg Trengove

I voted Petracca

But I also would like to see Viney, Harmes Kent and Salem take that next step.

Niceeeeeeee

Just rewatched the Round 23 game against GWS and to put it simply, Christian Salem is a class above. This guy will be a serious player for us and I can't wait to see him take the next step this year. Reminds a bit of Adem Yze (a seriously unmentioned player on this forum) with his kicking skills and ability to play all over the ground. 

If he plays 20 odd games this year, he'll give the Bluey a serious shake.

McDonald, Trengove, Tyson, Viney, Gawn, Salem, Brayshaw, Hogan, Vandenberg, Kent, Oliver, Petracca and Weideman

What I'm excited to see is who actually leads and puts us back in the game when things start to go pear shaped. Until we develop this type of player improvement will be slow.

You may laugh but l get a hunch that he will surprise a few people this coming Saturday. It was no accident that he finished third in our "best and fairest" only a few year's ago. It was only his skill levels that let him down, not his G&D!

No, it wasn't an accident it was a statement of how poor we were that year.

I don't like the Yze comparison and I've knocked it before. I loved 'Ooz' in the early years, but I grew weary of his softness and picking and choosing which contests to hit. Salem is deceptively tough though. His only major weaknesses so far are his ability to get a lot of it and his inability to stay on the park.

If he manages to get 30 touches, we'll win just about every time. His skills and decision-making are A grade.

Yze played injured a lot in the 2nd half of his career, I think you'll find that was a contributing factor with his latter day picking & choosing. 

Not a senior player yet but i chose Sam Weideman. The kid intrigues me. Was rated a genuine top 3 prospect if injury didn't affect him and Brad Johnson and Brent Sanderson have both said last year that if he gets his body right he could seriously be the pick of the draft.

You only have watch his highlights against the Northern Blues to see the serious potential this kid has. Strong contested mark who is courageous in the air and has neat skills on both sides of his body. At 196cm i hope he grows  a few centimeters because him up and firing along with Hogan could become a dangerous combo.

Casey have lacked a genuine key forward since Hogan so there's definitely a spot up forward for him and Max King to make it their own.

I was under the impression that the club is not expecting much of him straight off the bat?

And im not expecting him to see him at senior level all that much.

His development at Casey is what I look forward too.

Neal - Bullen would have been my pick
