That's nice nat missing pretty much 2 years of footy with a knee injury just to be clear..

Good thing I was chopping up onions when i watched that..

Mark Stevens @Stevo7AFL Rapt to see Luke Jackson in for Dees. Tbh was absolutely stunned he missed Round 1 after watching him on track through summer ...

Simply just awesome.. All 3 of our 2019 draft selections are playing. Big tick for Jason Taylor.

In: Jones Salem Bennell Weideman. Out: Spargo Bedford Brown ANB I really want to fit Vanders in there somehow.. I also think Bedford is stiff. I'd really like for him to build some synergy with Pickett. But some good experienced players are available and every game is a must win from here on.

Goodwin pretty much saying Lever will play, and only didn't partake in Saturday's session due to general soreness. Good news.

[censored] it, lid is off! Time to unleash him goody! ❤?❤

I'm currently watching the Queens Birthday game from 2018 and Joel Smith was the inclusion for Jake Lever. Played a really impressive game in defence that day. Definitely has all the attributes to become a really good defender, but as already noted his body let's him down.

He was more talented then Travis Johnstone.

In my time since supporting the club since 1998 then no I personally I haven't. Could have easily won a brownlow had he not been dogged by injuries..

Just a gentle reminder.....

Anyone know how Kyle Dunkley is travelling? Noticed him a fair bit in Marc McGowan highlights that he posted. Looked clean.

It's looking like they are trying to turn Harmes I to the Jack Crisp type player off the the half back with some run and dash. My issue is Harmes is also one of our best lock down midfielders. Harmes turning into a tagger in 2018 was one of the big reasons we played finals. He shut down some big names that really benefited the team heading into the back end of that year. I personally don't agree with him down back. But I am also not the coach.

Liam Jurrah like..

I think they both play round 2. Hibbered will eventually get phased out. Based on his round 1 form, Jetta would need to show a lot more to keep his place in the side. We all love him, but he was ordinary. His direct opponent in Liam Ryan had 5 marks 14 disposal and kicked 3.3 The likes of Lockhart, Smith and Rivers will continue to put huge amount of pressure on the likes of Hibbered and Jetta.

What is wrong with ANB competitiveness and hardness? Mock all you want about his horrid decision making, but no way does he take a backward step. Goodwin loves because of his competitiveness and toughness. Billy Stretch was pretty much a free pick. Costs us absolutely nothing. He was stiff to be delisted last year. We kept Josh Wagner and delisted this bloke who would have been good depth for the wing spot. In that same year we picked up a bloke called Aaron Vandenberg and Mitch White. Vandenberg is an animal and White was also a tough nut. There was a theme there.

No he doesn't. This is his biggest weakness. He is pretty soft for a guy with his frame. Tries to play that floating 3rd tall instead of being the top dog up forward. I'd much rather take the risk on Daniher then Wright. At least Daniher is proven A grader when fully fit.

What's the social distancing rules around this exactly ? I am not attending at all, but intrigued how this event is able to meet those requirements.

Hibbered is extremely poor as a one on one defender. I think we will start to see him phased out in the manner that Bernie Vince was. I would not be surprised if Joel Smith is highly considered. With his speed and power, he could play a role on either Jack Martin or McGoven. It's obvious the coaching staff rate him highly internally and want to get games into him. I also think Marty Hore will find it really hard to break in this year unless injury to Lever.

I can definitely confirm that the Melbourne recruiting staff and Paul Roos were not fans at all of Peter Wright in his draft year. The theme of their recruitment style that year was kids who had competitive physical instincts. Peter Wright biggest knock was that for a big lump of a lad, he is quiet "soft" and doesn't provide much physical presence around the contest. I don't think much has changed since.⅝

They'll have McGovern and Casboult in there as well Oscar beat Darling hands down. He will play. You need to continue to reward good form. May is also capable on playing on small's and mediums as well.

So they already picked a round 1 side literally 3 weeks before the actual game? Yeah nah.. I think your mate has stitched you up here.

Joel Smith also talked up highly by Chaplin and Richardson.
