I guess that’s the whole point - how do we get that development from on field leadership if the up comers don’t get on field time?

I believe Heath is quite serviceable as a forward. Just don’t know how we fit all the tall forwards in.

Very pleased to see my worry is not justified- I can sleep again!

I’ll preface by saying I love big Maxy and everything he gives to the club. I’ve just been getting a niggling feeling that either now or in the future his pursuit of team and individual honours could impede development of our young tall talls. (Up around the 200cm) Max Heath impresses and Kalani in the future but Gawny’s need to play maximum ruck time sees little opportunity for them to get firsts experience. This also means we are forever looking for another tallish to do fill in work - see JVR, Culley as examples whereas their time could be better spent in their specialist roles. I have even heard talk of using TMac which seems silly to me with the new rules. Tell me I’m wrong or will the new extended bench help. (Who will be first to post “you’re wrong”

Do all Brownlow bets made prior to the new “give it to Daicos” rule get refunded?

There’s some speed in this team now - Pickett (x 2), Windsor (off day today), Sharp (could be a find), the young kids coming through give some optimism.

Kentfield is a big boy! Must keep mask all year. In fact let’s mask up all the boys.

Wow, that was nice transition

Hop we get these umps in season!

Not sure about Lever

Heath good CJ as advertised- going to be fun Couple of Picketts fun also. Lots of missed kicks but quick movement

I share kayo with my 2 sons. Think you can have 3 concurrent connections so if lucky enough to have a couple of friends it is pretty cost effective

Good planning - playing in darkness to teach players to use their other senses. Well done MFC.

Some success is really important from a confidence point of view with the younger players coming through. Get some wins and they’ll gel into a tight supportive unit.

Hopefully once the season proper starts Jai struggles to get a place in the team because of all our strong wins. Hope it’s a quick recovery.
