Turner

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

the role that springs to mind is similar to the role jamie bennell holds at WC in a relations/player welfare role focussing on strengthening ties with aboriginal communities and players. i know we have whelan at the helm at the moment and tough calls will have to be made with covid budgets but here's hoping we can fit them both in + im sure jonesy wants to stick around too

i mean if you saw what north did last year i think it was an 8 man group, they sold false hope to the VC and traded him, delisted two members - one of which had only been there 2 seasons - why was it so big and did everone who was in there deserve to be in there, i guess the answer was no. and Zerrett i rkn is still feeling let down after the 2020 season cut and probably disembarks a sinking ship at end of 21? does make u wonder what the hell gussy was on about in the poddy tho about langdon? anyones guess now really...

players regularly will sub out at HT/3QT in praccy matches, i'd imagine Brown would probably come out at some point maybe same as jackson to not over work them early on. Similarly hibbo and jones would feature sporadically allowing nietschke/bowey/laurie the likes a feel for it for a quarter here or there can also see viney/gawn sitting out say a final quarter to allow jacko to ruck and sparrow/jordon to feature inside

Kelly offers so much more as an outside player than Merrett imo

we have 3 spots on the list and all are unrelated to KK, we left two open for train on players and i think the club was eager to carry one over to the MSD due to the Covid affected victorian footy a lot of kids will have slipped through and now Hore's ACL has opened up a third spot potentially giving us the chance to sign Farmer and Deakyn Smith and still have that mid year pick

any idea which line nietschke is training with? hearing wing option? or HB?

?????

brayshaw has said on poddy he's on track and hibbo surely is considering idek what he's missing with (possibly just load management?)

we now have three spots available with Deakyn Smith and Farmer training on and the newly opened up Hore spot, chances r we save at least one for a KyleDunkley-esque who's the best 19yo we missed in the draft pool for the Mid season draft

SSP is different, yes freo can offer him a deal and he could sign it but they likely would have invited him to train if they had any firm interest
