Gotta love the forward handball game the tigers have. Awesome to watch when up and running.

If we go for one of the U18 players Hirst seems a good pick. If not I wouldn’t mind a small forward. Pressure clever around goal and pace the key.

I don’t agree with Lever coming straight back in off one VFL game. At least one more game required. I’d like to see Preuss back in. I’d play Tmac Smith and Preuss up forward.

As much as we got screwed by the umpires, we shot ourselves in the foot by missing so many shots in the first 3 quarters. Jeffy and Trac could have closed the game. Hopefully they can take confidence from the opportunities and kick a bit straighter next week. Marty Hore continues to be a great find. I thought Baker showed some good signs. Gawn was mammoth and Harmes continued some good form. I love Clarry and his effort but he needs to be more considered with his disposal. Also might be time for Gus to go back into the middle. Maybe Jones at half forward.

Corey Gregson has been mentioned. Very injury prone previously though. Playing for Glenelg this year and apparently going ok.

Preuss for Keilty ANB for Melksham Baker it Petty for Hibberd We don’t really have many defenders left. I can’t see them debuting Jordan just yet. Wagner has been in good form in the VFL but we don’t necessarily want another small forward in.

ANB a certainty now with the injuries. But yes he’ll cover the ground well with his tank.

Loved the show for years when I’d never miss an episode. But have barely watched in recent years. Didn’t see a minute of it this year. Front Bar much better.

Happy for Dec Keilty to get another crack. Thought ANB was stiff to miss out. Viney has to come in if fit and not risking further serious injury. Every game a must win now.

Tipping the Swans tonight. By a couple of goals.

No doubt he was replaced by May. But we lacked an interceptor.

I was surprised they dropped Hore after round one. He’s been fantastic and exactly the type of player we need with Lever out. I was surprised Lockhart has come in off a VFL preseason and has had the impact he has. Looking forward to him for the rest of the year. Should build confidence after the weekend.

Whilst I agree with Lewis being dropped, I don’t even bother putting it out there. We all know he won’t be dropped.

Preuss in for Keilty. Not that Keilty was poor but Preuss really impacted when he has played. I’d give Weideman more time to get consistent form. Viney in for Stretch. Which I don’t like saying as I’d love them to give Billy a month or so. Not sure who else we’d drop for him. Maybe Garlett.

Trac wasn’t our worst last night. But he looks bereft if confidence. Made some uncharacteristic fumbles and lacked the flair he has shown prior. I was thinking a Brayshaw type run at Casey could help. Just to get some confidence.

I think Preuss showed enough to be in the round one team. Unless he stinks it up on JLT. I’ll just be interested to see how it works with Tmac Weideman an Preuss. Preuss brings a huge amount of aggression and could no doubt cause a fair amount of havoc for opposition defenders. What Friday showed though was Gawn’s ruck minutes won’t be taking a hit and he’s a dominant ruckman. His work rate is first class.

Some great reports on here. Good insight from some of the player chats. Sounds like we are being extra cautious with the rehab group. But as mentioned the guys are running hard. Loving the reports on Trac. Seems in good shape and hopefully a big year to come.

It’s a little worrying. I’ll be keeping an eye on things I once training recommences. However I think his footwear causes issues at times. So perhaps he rarely wears that type of shoe. Hopefully all good.

Reads the play very well. And can kick it well. Also in the highlights went forward so that’s handy. Hell be given time given there’s no immediate need.

They were saying on the draft last night that he was considered top 10 last year before injury.

Like the look of this guy. And the most competitive player in the draft comment immediately would have put him in our sights. Looks a very lively and quick player.

Or Geelong hand us 21 for Watts. Then we have 2 picks inside 30. But that's wishful thinking.

Yep sounds about right. Adding Lever Balic and having those two picks is decent. I know they're saying it's a shallow draft but we'll have players in mind.

I guess I was thinking if we didn't trade Watts we could use 46 in the draft and trade a later pick for Balic. But Watts likely to be traded anyway. Also we got Hannan around the 46 pick last year. That's worked out well.

Reckon if we are offering 46 for Balic we may be paying overs. Crozier who has proven himself somewhat for 40. We could probably get him for a pick in the 60s. Balic is worth a punt though and if we give up 46 so be it. Thought he played well against us this year. Although we may not use 46 if we have 26 and 35. Plus what we get for Watts.
