58er

Here here Ropable that Jay has been dropped and that Jayden And Joel have been selected Omac and Jay better options.

I think that a light bulb moment has happened during the Virus and as mentioned we need more class in our side ie more skill in kicking team play and marking and goal shooting. This has resulted in some stop gap players good but not ever A graders or maybe B and let's be frank our Top 10 draft picks should be around that mark. So our Top 4 ( and flag) chances need our youngsters to improve and mature to provide this skill. Kozzue LJ Rivers( a diamond at 32 in draft) Lockhart Petty Weid Jordan Sparrow Chandler Bedford are still developing into very good players we think. Clarry Gawnie Gus Jack V Fritsch Salem Lever no are potential A or B Graders still maturing as is Langdon and Jonesy Is in the very short term. Backing up this potential are a group of 24/27 yo such as Melk Tommy, May Jets Tomlinson AVB and Joel Smith who are good honest and brilliant at times footballers. Depth of say Oscar Hore ANB Spargo Brown and Hibbo and No doubt zi have missed one or two are handy. The demographic of our list has changed by the new draftees of 18 and 19 plus our recruiting coups if Langdon Tomo and Harley. We are getting a much improved depth and skill in our list which should give pretty much immediate energy and lift in performances near to 2018 which is a quantum leap forward. i sm very bullish now about our future but we must get a very good game plan and solve our forward chaos with theses more highly skilled and maturing youngsters working with the core group of stars and role players. Its Goodys job to lose and he has 2 years to grab it by the scruff of the neck Zi believe.0

Yes it will be in our top 5 of the 50 Lizzie but My No 1 would be the QUAL Final vs Carlton in 2000 or even the Prelim in 1988 at Waverley vs Blues. In each of these 3 games Our opponents were below their best by about 2/3 goals in form or at the end of a reign of success (all were defending champs when we beat them). Many years in our Finals in the last 50 years have been curtailed by The eventual Premiers in the Prelim or Semi Final stage or the Grand Finals of 88 and 2000. Adelaide in 1998 were an exception and we never met Carlton in 1987 when on a roll. Generally we also didn't finish in The top 4 or 5 To get a doulble chance, excepting for 2000. Interesting last 19 games as best.

Yes I have thought of this but did u think we were or are only a 7 goal side on Round1? I didn't but we played our underwhelming wasteful forward way so say 10 goals might be our estimate in Round 1. I would be knocked over with a feather if we kicked 15 goals and were beaten by the Blues.

There us not a poor footballer in that team. Even our debs are good players and will play their role. Kossie led the way in Round 1 and Goody has no doubt altered his approach and deserves a perfect response.

I estimate this is a 5 goal better side than Round1. Of course it has to play up to expectations .

And no self distancing within sight!! A Reasonable number hugged Harley and also Jacko and Rivers from the video.

That's not fair in my opinion Grr-owl. You are directly throwing that at Max and if no names are mentioned it is unfair to many or all of our players. Harley was extremely emotional and spoke beautifully but his journey has been a lot harder than any one else's so he was reflecting his wonderful spirit and appreciation of all the Club who have been very serious in backing him all the way.

Sorry Doc but it's not been 25 deg up here In Brisbane fir about 3 weeks !! sure it will be warmer Than Melb though also after 4 pm not likely to be warm!!! Lets enjoy the joy of all the newcomers and their debuts. Si many and do many stories and all got potential. Its almost a partial rebiuild on the run !! Go the mighty Dees !

Thanks DL has anyone put Josh Mahoney on SEN I think today by any chance?

Thanks a lot CHF just sighted it

AvB not fit enough (unavailable) Smith not yet also Lockhart and Omac in

Why presume Smith ?

Really great that Harley been rewarded and so well deserved. its been a real team effort so far medicos coaches players and who knows what the result will be. It just may be a defining moment in our journey and the team can start fulfilling its now huge potential. This Round2 team is 5 goals better than Roind 1 in scoring potential!

Two of our best defenders from around 1 Nev ! Both Omac and Locky play Hibbo out and others from mid and forward lines

Hibbo was horrible in Round 1 Loose and his kicking and disposal nowhere near 2017 and 2018. He has taken weight off but looks a shadow of his former self.

Lockhart and Omac better than Smith and ANB

Here here dl4e

Hibberd has to go not Lockhart if firm is any guide

Shame Forgetting about Jonesy his Return will be the most influential to our new forward line ad hence our performance.

Didn't need to did it and it looked easy because of his skill! Buckley gut half his possessions with handpasses from teammates Ready to Kick from behind the mark

Hibbo for me

Absolutely Moon and last year with a our injuries and surgeries the same 5 games at least. Cattle better this year and more speed and versatility ie Kossie Bedford Chandler AVB Hannan Brown Jackson and the resting mids and rucks plus even Dslem I reckon at times!

Would defy logic to name Petty Pruess as emergencies as they didn't play last Sat.

If only to keep him out of the backline !!! not Harmseys caper Really.
