I would think that group are playing tomorrow, or at least some of them. * I stand corrected!

So, that means 80% of us want to lynch some cranky guy!

Harley Reid is not 'that' good!

New title, "My Left Foot"!

Turner is a straight kick!

Turner has played as a forward in every pre-season training session I have attended. McDonald has trained as a back in all of those. 35 days to our first game, only a massive injury count before March 23rd will have McDonald as a forward. I'm surprised that Macca is now primarily in the white (possibles) team for match sims. I think his form as a key back has been excellent.

Daniel Turner 2024 Round 8, 13 disposals, 3 goals Round 16, 6 disp, 2 goals R19, 8 disp, 3 goals R 24, 11 disp, 4 goals

Turner's 8 0r 10 touches = 2 or even 3 goals!

I see AMW as a straight swap for McVee, not saying he is as good, but he is good in that role.

At times. He is bigger, stronger, is taking some good marks and executing strong spoils in packs. He has weapons ->speed & long boot. His main weakness seems to be short kicks. I get the feeling that he now believes he belongs.

My team from today's training. Be aware that I have not selected players who did not train, or players who are in rehab for some time yet. I selected players who were looking strong and fit and confident. (I've turned a blind eye to Judd's late mishap!). This team is purely on the basis of if we had a game tomorrow (I have decided, quite irrationally, that Judd got a cramp!) B: McVee, May, Adams HB: Howes, Petty, McDonald C: Langdon, Langford, Billings HF: Fritsch, Jefferson, Pickett F: Petracca, Van Rooyen, Chandler Foll: Gawn, Rivers, Oliver Int: Laurie, Campbell, Lever, Sharp, Sparrow apologies -> Hore, Turner, Brown

I may have mistaken Woewodin for AMW with that comment on a sore shoulder.

Time for me to go. I’ll add a few things later.

Great contested work by AMW but sore shoulder after it. Max puts the heat on Langford and comes out the winner. Adams redeemed with good intercepts and well placed long kicks.

Boys are looking exhausted, hot out there!

Laurie just kneed Chandler in a marking contest after too much hang time from Fullarton kick

Max, Riv, Kossie & Langdon v Campbell, Langford, Laurie & Oliver in Centre bounce

Kossie winning lots of ball and delivering beautifully, running on to provide another option

Jefferson defeats both Adams and Hore in big contest, much to delight of teammates

Langdon has come in to middle as outside runner

McVee showing his class. Max still supreme in boundary throw in contests

Gawn, Kossie, Riv & Sparrow versus Campbell, Laurie, Oliver & Langdon in middle. Campbell making it very difficult for Max in the ruck

Activity slow moving, strategic focus. Ollie asking for direction from Goodwin

Full ground now. Adams good contested mark followed by poor kick
