He provided once again the right information and you completely shot him down without even giving him the chance. He's got a 98% track record on here, so there's room for a little slip up once in a while. Broke the news Tomlinson news well before it got to the media. Just a simple sorry I was wrong and you were right for old mate 🙂 Keep up the good work @12345_54321. Most of us on here actually appreciate your intel. Expand What’s it got to do with you anyways? If 12345_54321 takes issue with anything I’ve said I’m sure he’d address it with me directly. Why does he need a mouthpiece? And who assigned you for the gig? We both know your agenda.

Hardly any marks will be taken, offensively or defensively, and the ball will be on the deck most of the night. The conditions make a third tall less critical. Gus can play back and we can run with three talls up forward (Petty, Smith and JVR) - and perhaps give Max and brodie more bench time. Expand But apparently it will be different in our forward line where Gawn/Grundy, Petty, JVR and Smith will all be flying? Occam's Razor says Petty back for Tomlinson. We'll see. 2

DemonOX 8,857 Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Tomlinson is a bit stiff. Hopefully Petty plays down back as imo that’s his best position and best for team balance. 6

We focussed on BBB, Tmac, Petty and Gawndy for the first half of the season, and Smith is hardly a gorilla forward, but last week he presented well, got up the ground and was a good target. Hope he finally takes his chance and locks down a regular spot. Go get em, Smithy! Expand He chases and provides defensive pressure too. Hope he bags a hatful. 5

DeeMee 924 Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 A forward line of JvR, Petty, Smith, Fritsch and smalls with a backline of only two talls seems unlikely which makes Goody’s stated desire to play Petty forward as problematic. Guess we are still experimenting. 2

Trust the FD Tommo stiff but Petty is ahead of him every day of the week Expand I reckon the 'bring injured players back through the vfl' is old school thinking especially when a player has worked through 5+ preseasons as have Salem and Petty. Sports science has come a long way since the days when players were readied for AFL match conditions through the reserves. Very few clubs go that way these days. 9
