Would a forward forward coach be of use to him (and us all)???

Yea. Sounds strange. Battering a frail old man around in the ruck when there are two able bodied youngsters is just weird.

Has anyone been dragged at ¾ time to suggest they may be emergency tomorrow, or are there three missing out on a run just in case?

Can awareness be taught? On the backup for the seniors?

Which would be an unmitigated disaster for all concerned.

Re: Verrell discussion. Nobody at all could step up so we have to hope that Max stays fit and healthy. But serious question - who could we even try for 70-80% ruck time? I have no idea.

Shades of Nick Saunter when we were aligned with Sandringham. I notice, for what it is ever worth, that Kentfield is named in a back pocket! Learning defensive skills or a ruse?

Thanks once again WCW for your generous offerings. I wonder if that means that none of these will be at Casey with multiple hold over emergencies? And, of course, yet another bloody bye next week so some poor buggers will not get a gig for 3 weeks or so. Not good enough this as a "support" or "development" competition. WCW - can you recall seeing any of last week's team (other than Hunter) NOT there? Did any of the apparent extras seem to dash for a car to head to Casey?

... and a forward coach??

In terms of debuting too early I can't remember that really since Jack Watts. Tholstrup in the first Q in his debut showed loads of energy, more than most that night, though didn't keep it up. He was far from worst and IMVHO was stiff to be dropped from a poor team performance, especially as (it is said) Goody doesn't usually drop after one game.

I hadn't watched the game, but went to Kayo when I read this. Grappling each other which happens every day. In fact King almost put Andrew down before the free was paid.

Optimist - we can beat everyone. Pessimist (MFCSS included) - everyone can beat us 🍷 - half full or half empty???

There. Corrected.

So is it “no Reid, no Eagles”? Maybe we can scoop both Reid and Larkey with some clever trading 🤔🙄🤗

binman - I haven’t watched any games this weekend but looked at the current scores and thought exactly the same as you predicted. Bizarre. Do different clubs load differently ??🤔🤔🤗

Certainly not anything like to skinny kids we picked 10-15 years ago. In fact looks strong and muscular. And speaks in a mature manner. We definitely could be on to something here. Does anyone have any information regarding his tank at this stage? I wonder if he could even step up if needed late this season? Looks physically almost ready.

🐍 though they will be mostly "resting" this time of year. That said, they are still around - an old bushman once told me that they were more dangerous in winter because they are too slow to get out of the way; in summer they will mostly slither off and seek cover.

We need quite a few upgrades, actually. so true But how long can he go at 85% TOG? Goldstein goes at 75%, (Brundy 76%.) He may get an extra year or. two if he was prepared to, and had the support to, do 70-75%. And, there would be the break glass too. At present we have zero replacement, and haven't even bothered to look at Fullarton who we recruited - presumably - for that option.

well he ain’t Robinson Crusoe there, is he?

WCW (and your locum) many thanks. What did she mean exactly by “Impressive one-on-one Kentfield v May.”?? May impressive v new boy, or new boy impressive v May?? Very interested in any other observations on Kentfield. Supermen in disguise field ?

Did anyone manage to get pics, or did the club release any (🤗) of him with the team at training?

Maybe yes, probably not. But either way if he has t been selected in the last three rounds of desperate need of a forward / ruck cover then why in the hell was he recruited? Please explain!

And of course Luker Kentfield to debut with 10 goals, 15 contested marks, 5 goal assists, 15 tackles. 🙄

He appears totally devoid of confidence, regardless of his body. I understand that the match committee prefer to bring back key players direct to AFL, but this must be destroying his spirit. Surely even a week or two at Casey could help him regain touch and thus confidence.

OMG Are you on something. He was one of our pressure leaders last week and usually is, despite “poor form”. The words “poor form” could also be written on your mirror.
