Poor bloke has been given the Nick Smith treatment.

Like this one hey?

Pre season games is usually where the heat policy comes into play. Think the only changes are unlimited rotations and no subs, just full use of the extended bench.

Interesting news of Petracca splitting from Connors management.

Him and Pendles looked absolutely cooked.

Plays nothing like Callaghan..

Big time.

Well said.

Yeah that's not how it works mate.

Legend @RedLegs23. Appreciate the update. It's also interesting the comparison between AJ and Jefferson. When it comes down to a big finals game where the pressure cooker and intensity is incredibly high, you take the guy that will compete and will himself to each contests non stop. I'd have him round 1 considering it sounds like Turner didn't do much either.

Yes H, players numbers indeed.

@RedLegs23 fantastic write up mate. Want to get your observations on a few players that interest me, especially heading into round 1. Langford AJ Henderson Woewodin Brown Thanks once again.

Love it!

Sydney pretty much reflected how we played last year without Petracca and bringing in underdone players. Without Gulden and Mills and playing an injured Grundy it just proves how vulnerable a side can be without their A graders. Adams, Grundy and Rampe all looked cooked last night and they were too heavily reliant on Heeney and Warner. Hawthorn overwhelmed them around the stoppages and on the outside as well. McCartin is not a forward and I still have question marks over Logan McDonald so I feel they are a bit vulnerable up forward as well. Hawthorn looked bloody good though. Barrass and Battle could be the difference in them winning a flag this year.

Grundy getting smoked by Meek in the ruck.

Common sense doesn't belong here. Wasn't just Petracca and Langdon. Fritsch missed a relatively easy shot in the first quarter about 30m out in front and then again in the last when he completely fluffed his set shot. Around the ground Billings kicking was fine. He's a hard runner who gets out into space and has a high work ethics.

Wrong crowd with well known criminal behaviour.

They don't hang out socially but.. There's a difference between going out and having a beer with someone on a Saturday night compared to just going to the same Gym/program to do your extras's on your off day. They just attend the same mobility and stretching program with a number of other AFL players like Pendles, Brad Hill, Mitchell Owen's and Daicos that do the same program. Salem also attends this program.

Socially they don't hang out. They both attend the same mobility and stretching program and thats where the relationship was struck up but that's as far as it goes.

When I read the article that there were Vic clubs interested, Melbourne was the first club that came to mind straight away. He fits an important need for us with his ball use and football smarts off half back. Really hope we go hard.
