Great to see Kynan selected. He has been very good in his 1st season of VFL.  Quick and evasive and reads the play well. He sets up play, has goal involvements and kicks a few himself.

IMO eventually his ability to read the play will see him excel as a mid. 

As a forward if the oppo take their eye off him they will pay.

His form this year surprised me. I thought a couple more preseasons would get him right for the big time but if you have what it takes then you get rewarded.

 

"He has been very good in his 1st season of VFL'. That is a massive stretch. He has shown minor glimpses at best.

    I hadn't seen the photo's until this morning, i understand where you were coming from now.

    They do look happy and relaxed, i will give you that.

    Whether their attitude gets translated on the field as will to win   Or 

    I really don’t care.   Or I am high as kite right now.

     
    i have no idea but  a relaxed trio at training, no tension, means they will not be thinking of outside detractors rather than ball, and kick the blooody goal. 

    I will watch with interest !

    GW and Robbo on AFL 360 also mentioned the massive fall out that would occur if we lose to North.

    But in reality, what's actually going to change? They're certainly not going to sack Goodwin and/or the assistant coaches if that's what the media are inferring in terms of "fall out"

    Ok so not enormous but not tiny. What are the early indications of his role @ VFL watchers

    Kynan is a bits and pieces player.  Maybe small but shows heart.  Nothing of note in his VFL games so unsure why he gets promoted.  Marketing?  Hope he has a good game.

    Please let’s see Sestan, Tholstrup and Fullarton.

    Surely Petty has to be omitted on form.

    Turner, Billings, Laurie don’t look up to it.

    Chandler, Sparrow, Oliver and Fritsch have unsatisfactory and should be dropped even just to make a statement but the cupboards bare so they’ll stay in.

     

    sooo he wouldn’t be ahead of others as a defence first? Seems like a strange call to me

    I presume you’re talking about Petty.

    Prior to this season I rated him in the best defenders going around. 
    On current form he doesn’t deserve to be in the side, IMO.

    Tomlinson, Brown, Tholstrup in

    Petracca, Billings, Laurie out

    I still want Woey in the side but can’t really complain about K Brown and Tholstrup getting chances over Laurie and Billings.

    I think this’ll be it. Won’t see Fullarton, AMW or Sestan until they start appearing in the emergencies first - club usually signals who’s next in line 

    Disco as the sub??

    This is actually it (see above).

    Fullarton an emergency.

    Petty named again at CHF? Worst player in the competition & Goodwin drops Tomlinson last week then bring him back again? Why?

    Tholstrup a most deserved elevation after his last match at Casey. Performance actually matches ‘some’ of the messianic hyperbole being spouted about, since his arrival by worshippers of a paranormal kolt.

    Goodwin’s explained Tomlinson - Collingwood had a small forward line so we decided to go smaller in our backline.

    It's not all about form. It's about knowing team structure and role, the rest takes care of itself.

    I wonder what players working hard at Casey think of Petty constantly getting games with zero output.

    Would imagine it’s a bit demoralising

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
