Great to hear Beamer got through a full training session at full pace!

If he is fit for next season, we're one step closer to a flag IMO. Add him into that great midfield balance from last season, with continued development from McLean, Jones, Bate, Sylvia, Bell, Batram etc and we truly will have a formidable midfield rotation

B: Whelan Carroll Bell

HB: Green Rivers Bartram

C: Johnstone Moloney Bate

HF: Pickett Miller Bruce

F: Davey Neitz Robertson

R: White Mclean McDonald

I: Jamar Jones Sylvia Yze

Holland, Dunn, CJ, PJ, Ward, Bizzell all pushing for selection also, depending on injuries, form, and match ups.

Also, anyone who doesnt have Yze in their team has no credibility posting on this site. He may have put in some soft performances in the last 2 years, but he's also one of the most skilled players in our side, and wins many matches off his own boot year after year. Unless he finally succumbs to injury, he is in the team. End of story.

Get well soon Hards

I haven't seen any evidence to suggest that PJ is actually a good AFL ruckman. Until such time, the choice is obvious.

Agreed. He hasn't shown he can ruck at all yet, where as Jamar produced some fine tap work this year. PJ looks like he could wind up more a forward than a ruckman. Time will tell.

Dunn will be the long term option, but leading into finals you have to pick Miller, purely on body size. Dunn is too mature and his body would not stand up to the physical pressure of playing at CHF at 19 and under 10 games of AFL footy!

Miller has been alot better today today, which is a good sign.

It's a pretty safe bet he'll be with us next year. Has been great at Sandy, and will start getting a shot at AFL level next year I think. With Neitz retiring in a year or two, Newton is the best and most logical replacement long term. Hopefully he will be eased into the team while Neitz is still around, so he can teach him, mentor him, etc.

He'll be staying with us, unless he gets selfish and decides some like the Hawks will give him a game now instead of waiting for a position with us. But that seems highly unlikely IMO.
