TeamPlayedFine39 8,525 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Frost v OMac is going to be interesting over the preseason. Frost polled surprisingly well in the BnF for the games he played, but Oscar does seem to be a favourite with the coaches. Good to see a bit of depth developing across the board. Quote
deelete my account 1,194 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Only two pre-season matches this year and AFL X apparently, so VDB would probably need more time to get up to match fitness? Hannan for VDB IMO Edited October 12, 2017 by Deeprived Childhood Quote
Dr.D 1,771 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Frost Hunt and Lever in the same backline would be awesome rebound. Coupled with Hibberd and Jetta who are elite, our backline is almost a strength now. What does this mean for Col Garland?? He's still on the list right? 1 Quote

But what does this say about depth too , missing ABrayshaw, AVDB, Maynard, Hannan ? Quote
Little Goffy 14,963 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) That backline starts to look bloody good. Poor old Neville Jetta not having to cover opponents 20cm taller than him because Lever is there to provide the well-timed chop-out. Oscar not having to think too hard because now he can focus more on controlling his direct opponent. Hibberd, Hunt and Salem all having much better opportunities to rebound because instead of a messy scrap after a rough spoil that doesn't fully clear the danger area, the incoming ball has been decisively cut off and fed out to them. Funny thing, I think Lever coming in might just be the difference that gets Jetta an All-Australian nod. B: Jetta O.Mc Frost HB: Hibberd Lever Hunt C: Tyson Jones Vince HF: Melksham T.Mc Petracca F: Hannan Hogan Garlett Foll: Gawn, Viney, Oliver Int: Lewis, Neal-Bullen, Brayshaw, Pederson With many depth options (Stretch, Bugg, Harmes, Wagner, Weideman, Kent, Smith, Vanders). It actually looks pretty good, eh. Even with assuming that Watts is not there. Edited October 12, 2017 by Little Goffy 3 Quote

Maxwell1 6 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 No personal history at all.Jones has been a super player for us but he is selfish ,he turns the ball over too much,as does tyson and when the game is on the line he does not communicate or stand up. i am sick of him running round the back for a quick stat and then bombing the ball long to a contest he needs to change the way he plays may be a half back roll is right for him in his last couple of years.i would play Maynard in the in the midfield rotation ahead of jones and tyson my view 2 1 Quote
Young Blood 2,642 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Hopefully if all goes well I think with big preseasons from the likes of J. Smith, AVB and Maynard: B: Jetta Omac Frost HB: Lewis Lever Hibberd C: Gus Tyson Hunt HF: ANB Tmac Petracca F: Garlett Hogan Harmes Fol: Gawn Oliver Viney Int: Jones, Maynard, AVB, J. Smith - I really hope guys like Salem and J.Smith push to force older guys like Vince and Melksham to be depth players. - I think Harmes at this stage is better then Hannan around the contest. He just adds a little bit more then Hannan who is a better loose HF. Better tackling and pressure and doesn't get knocked off the ball as much. I hope these two really battle to try to better one another for this spot. Edited October 12, 2017 by mongrel 1 Quote
Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Hard to tell until after the draft. Balic is someone who with a strong pre season might push for selection Quote

Something that Harmes, ANB, AVB, Brayshaw, Bugg and a few of our other mids that can/have played as forwards all seem to lack. We need some of those guys in the team (and you have Gus/ANB your bench) but I think that we need Hannan and Melksham in the side until we get a decent small forward to go with Garlett. I still hold out a little hope that might be Kent, he has the talent, but the last 12 months haven't been very promising given his injury problems. Idk what DJ can achieve but id be shocked if he was in contention next year, but who knows. 1 Quote

DTJ 95 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Anyone who thinks we don't have depth - try fitting in Vandenburg, Harmes, Neal-Bullen, Garland and Bugg to name a handful. Quote
