The depth player such as Laurie, Tomlinson etc should definitely be exposed to other positions at VFL level. The reality of the modern squad is that you can't cover every position and develop players. Can Tomlinson play forward. Probably not but worth looking at. He did play wing IIRC at GWS in a rather good side. Laurie on the other hand is a perfect candidate for multiple roles. Could he have filled the Bowey role for example?

Adelaide are presently playing a chip and kick game as the corridor game is not working. Same with Hawthorn. Amazing how quickly the helter skelter style of the Pies etc has been countered. Kick straight and we win

It's a long season so you have to invest your MFCSS wisely. Thursday is a regulation win. The Lions in the following match worry me a little more. Could do without a new injury each week

Last week he was 3-5 weeks so there's some movement. He'll need a couple of weeks at Casey so he's still a way off

Looking like Hawks Eagles and North making up 3 of the bottom 4. Wonder who will be the fourth

Crows played Friday in Perth. It's fair Look on the bright side. We are playing Adelaide when they are in a slump and the same with the Lions. Win those two and we are setting up a solid launchpad for top 4. Five weeks ago few if any would have thought we could win all three

Thanks for the training reports. Excellent input from everyone

Had a good game at Casey. If Chandler doesn't get up he could be in. PS Given that the sub is no longer a "medical" sub I wonder if we will relax the policy of debutants not being named as the sub There is of course Laurie who would come into consideration if Chandler is not available

Makes sense... precautionary

body language between Yze and Balme was interesting Yze just brushed past him as Balme tried to congratulate him

Lovely to see that smile on Yze's face

getting the Eagles back into contention is way more important to the AFL than supporting Tasmania

Can well understand Most of us have tried hard to forget that game bulldogs played an Adelaide team and played the Suns in Darwin. Those losses cost them a finals spot

Didn't we play Essendon last year

Starting to wonder what WCE's rebuild plan is

Fullarton hasn't done much at Casey but I understand your point on BBB. If May returns then Petty plays forward which allows bbb to be rested possibly

well I wasn't expecting those last two minutes Are we a chance????

wow anb

You knew it was coming

16 seconds... beat their first quarter goal that took 18

His name was Tomlinson

Could have done without that last Port goal

here he is !

Dominating the hit out numbers but being thrashed in clearance numbers

Interesting... game not unfolding well to say the least Early days
