I agree on speed. It might take a while but Rivers, Windsor, Kossie would be our quickest and Langford Culley Viney and Steele for strength when needed depending on opposition. Lindsay and Latrelle would also go through. Lots of options and more than most other teams. It could mean we could run over sides towards the end of games.

On the website under Club there is a drop down menu called 'creating our home' which gives a picture of the set up from what appears as it was in 2024, but we know the admin is not going in the location shown on the map and is set for the eastern event space. if you open the image in another window you can enlarge it to read easier. Hopefully at the AGM there is an updated version of the map. There is also a lot of Q&A about various concerns there. Probably good to read it before the AGM.

From the reports It seems the players going through the midfield so far excluding Viney number 10. Apart from interchange it seems the possibilities for resting (for want of a better word) them are Half Backs - Rivers, Windsor Lindsay Wings - Lindsay, Culley, Langford, Langdon Forwards - Culley, Langford, Steele, Latrelle, Kozzie, Sparrow, Not a limited list but likely. A huge improvement on flexibility from last year. Laurie, Tholstrup and Sharp could add to that list.

Can any trackwathaers say whether X Lindsay is playing a midfield role in match sims or elsewhere.

Agree. They are going to pick sides that will transition to a top side in 2-3 years. Having 2 defenders on a 5 man bench a long way out. More like 1 Ruck/forward, 1 defender, 3 midfield.

A couple of injuries and some coming back from long term injuries and it practically picks itself. Heath is the only other probable.

Also you can't rest all your midfielders on the bench. Some to wing and half forward. Some have to spend time at half back

I think the reason no-one took him in the draft was that because he was still growing he would be a 2 -3 year prospect and there were many other ready to go prospects in the early picks. By the time the later picks came, other clubs were looking at keeping rookie spots open in the same way we were to help their salary cap. In any event, Melbourne could simply match the bid as a father son.

If Onley is 197 then White is well over 200.

So on the P/L we are $1.5 in profit over the 2 years?

Great work It's got everything

It's pretty amazing. We were one of the smaller clubs and now are one of the tall clubs now. Lost 11 off our list - 8 of them 175 to 187 and 3 taller than that. Put on 9 - 2 small forwards, 6 talls 192 -205 and Steele who is 188

As an aside I hope they put a few on as train on players - we always unfortuately have long term injured that need to be covered.

Clean hands, takes the game on, uses his reach, comfortable going on both sides kicking and handball. I like it. Hope they don't rush him.
