Alternative view; this is very good succession planning that you tap into IF needed. We need it now. Even better than if this has occurred it’s been done without any media leaks.

He was a good fun teammate though Howie - could take a hanger in his day; played like Fritsch

Agree with this view of Jeffo. He looks really comfortable at VFL - now play him for rest of season and see if he can become same at AFL.

The athletic profile is so good for a young tall. He really is like his dad in so many ways; lots of development to come. Raw. Worth a spot on the list for 3-4 years to let the talent come through. Well done Kalani.

Not even an ounce of breeze all night. Perfect conditions just cold. Great last quarter

Yes; plenty. Decent choice

Here watching live. Liking Jeffo tonight; looks comfortable As “the guy” up forward. Cross likely also. Fullerton not liking. Needs to crack in more. We have ALOT of similar mid size types - need some more X factor. Smith handy, Laurie amazing goal, Hendo ok in bits, Bonner gets a lot of it - sweet kick. Liking Verral game also. Using his body well. Young White is a bean stalk - very very athletic. Hope he makes it as a ruckman/3rd tall. Adam’s got done a few times that quarter. Bombers having a real go. Go Dees

Hoyney did some great stats last week on SEN re backup ruckman. Message was don’t bother, pick the best forward. Back up rucks avg 4 centre bounce a week; 15 ball ups and one goal for and against, so basically a nil all draw. Pick Jeff if he’s in best form.

Thinking: Out: McDonald (managed), Sharp (omitted) In: Lever, Viney Sub: Fritsch

Having watched both games yesterday I’d go: In May and McVee Out Turner and Sharp Melky sub Emerg; Fritta, Adam’s, Laurie

I was there also; Roo I agree; thought Fritta was ok and had a go; we scored when he was involved. Fritta for Melky or leave as is - can’t play em both.

Gruzewski was easily the best tall forward on the ground. Derkson comfortably beat Van Roo. Aleer would be very useful.

Headed out to Casey for the first time today (much closer to our Easter location than the G) - pretty impressed with the oval quality and overall facilities around Casey Fieds. Ovals everywhere. On the field a really ordinary day, was expecting so much more. If we need a key forward Thursday vs Tigers I’d pick in order: Fritta Jeffo AJ Roo Fritta did a few nice things and showed some desperation- too good for VFL. Roo is along way off, really sad to see how poor his form is. Hopefully the lead and goal late gives some confidence. Was pleasantly surprised with Kentfied down back; he very hard in a contest, looks likely intercept marking, kicks it ok. Mid wise maybe Culley. Baldi pretty good. Love Bonner on our list.

McVee and Fritta did run throughs at 3Q with Tom Couch watching on. Sat out last quarter.

Hoyney had some interesting stats on SEN from Geelongs last 50 games. Simply if they less than average (41%) time with ball they lose, more they win. Saints controlled the ball for 3Q and beat them, Lions did in 2nd half. So…..having good skills to hit targets and control ball is key this week - not just bang it down the line OR switch inside and miss your target by 10m and turn it over! simples….
