Turner

ainsworth is settled in that suns side and serong is off the table too i'd imagine i think Tippa is getable out of the dons as they sink down the ladder, lipinski is too good to be playing 2s at the dogs and suits that melksham role (or vandemeer) and jelly could be the big fish we need for the non langdon wing. ik its unrealistic we get all these options but one maybe two improves our side tenfold

what was the point of this

i think this is one of the big flaws in our list structure, we dont expose our draftees early enough and we dont like seeing Jones, Melk, ANB, AVB, MBrown on team sheets but we've got Baker (12 games at 22yo), Sparrow, (7, 21), Bedford (2, 20), Nieta, Jordon, Chandler (1, 20) who are just as unproven and they've had 3+ years on the list. can any of them really be trusted at senior level consistently who knows? but 3 years on the list without any real form at senior level is a big punt that they're going to come good soon- and soon it has to be. imagine if port held rozzee, duursma and butters back or bailey smith at the dogs coz their midfield was too stacked. yet we consistently turn to old reliable and i'm scared we'll be exposed for it this year. maybe our list isn't as consolidated as we all believe it is.

fun police - let us speculate, it fills the time

i see Majak in the 40 Farmer has 48 and if deak gets listed give him the 47

R1 -expected B: Lever May Lockhart HB: Hunt Tomlinson Rivers C; Langdon Viney Salem HF: Fritsch TMac Harmes FF: Pickett Jackson Spargs R: Gawn Oliver Petracca INT: Sparrow Brayshaw Jordon Jones E: MBrown Baker Jetta Rosman R2 changes OUT: TMac, Jordon, Lockhart, Hunt, Baker, Spargo isnt that how it goes?

nieta should get a run at it at some stage and jordon, maybe baker could be a HFF? doesnt get enough of the pill to play the wing or execute his kicks but could find the goals and has speeed

harmes to HF jordon in? plz no nibbler/vanders goody plz

didn't even mention spargs coz he's so locked into that round 1 side. i really want to see harmes play that high HF role, i remember the day of him kicking 4 and taking some hangers

i am unashamedly not an ANB fan, i think he's just billy stretch with a tank. personally i'd be picking laurie or bedford as the 7th and definitely one of them if pickett misses too. or chandler. these guys were recruited to play small pressure forward so lets give them a chance to show it

player driven, i do agree a move to gws is unlikely, daw has a young child and his brother is settled here in melbourne playing for north heidelberg under boomer. would take a lot of convincing to move away from his support network like that you'd think

i agree re weid's potential and i think it was naive of us to trade Hogan when we did and expose weid after 2 good games and we've paid the price for that by not having a functioning forward line whatsoever for the last two years. i think daw is a good addition to the list and i expect he will see some senior action early in the season when tmac fails to impact

you have to go in with the same structure you've spent the last 3-4 months perfecting. Hunt has trained with the backline so he's playing in the backline, therefore round 1 is Fritsch TMac Melky Pickett(?) Jackson Spargo

im in, Turnernators

new this year Team name is Turnernators, finished in the top 10k the last 4 years on TP if thats anything to go by for leagues

entirely on hope and wish ?

what about for statistics actually relevant for a KPF? marks, score involvements, accuracy?

i'd say he's almost a certainty to finish his 3rd Cat B rookie this year with a promotion to the senior list, u dont put that much time in for no reason and he's one of only 2 recognised ruckmen on our list. i'd even go as far as suggesting it'll be a 2yr deal.

Fullarton has jumped ahead of him and looks the goods as a super athletic basketball convert, however theyre likely to go in with just 1 ruck in McInerney with McStay, Hipwood and Daniher down forward pinching

would honestly rather MBrown over TMac and give it till round 8 and i think the coaches will too if it comes to it

in relation to signing majak, i think its smart business given circumstances, its 12 months and honestly i can see him playing early when tmac lets us down and we need to protect LJ and get some continuity in our system with the 3 talls down forward. at the very least it keeps maxi honest and gives him a proper built big body to crash into at training coz yes we have some developers in LJ and Bradtke and pinch hitters in TMac and MBrown a genuine brute to challenge him physically will be good for him leading into the season. i say it every time but there is no reason not to fill out your list when these SPP players are cat A rookies with contracts paid entirely outside the salary cap. i think Majak and Wiz Jnr will get spots and we will carry one over to the MSD

Deakyn Smith - the NGA small forward we are never going to play finals if we think offering massive contracts to key defenders just to swing them forward and hope for the best is a smart way to go about it. how about we play forwards in the forward line, backs at the back and mids in the middle for once time to give dom tyson a call? tbf pedo was very stiff to get the chop, performed incredibly well and offered us insurances, those 20 possession games had me frothing

never heard of Weidman is he any good? what type of player is he? Any relation to the Weideman's?

i mean is frawley not a key defender, and you've seen how AA teams are picked teams of the centuries are picked similarly, just get the good players in and stick to a traditional ish side, no need for second talls and 4th rucks they don't actually have to play anyone

vince over moloney? and hard to include may after 2 years? bruce or johnstone instead
