You watched Murphy Reid play yet?

Can't shake the feeling that we've made the cowardly choice, if Caro's version of events is to be believed. Hope to be proven wrong. Good luck Paul - get that home base built!

Lever is the best fit as our next captain. He's not our best player, but he's our next best leader. Although I'm happy to move on from last year's saga, the truth is I think it gave an insight into how Christian is wired. The idea that he put the club through the ringer to force change is revisionist history.

Measured as always DS. Good post.

If it's only 3, I reckon it'll be Lindsay, Langford and Sharp. I'd personally like to see Johnno in the side though. Word at Werribee is that he'll likely play early in the season, if not round 1.

Neither did our 3 best players at the start of their careers.

Forget Dogga - we'll have Reid thanks.

Morris didn't say Oliver was leaving in that video.

That's a pretty strong side on paper. Feeling more confident than most that we can give it a shake this year.

There's a reason the NFL has banned the hip drop tackle - very annoying to see it pulled out with a couple of minutes to go in a match sim.

Draft / sign Werribee players and prosper. Go Bees.

Yeah, nah. He's tough. Do yourself a favour and watch the VFL GF replay. He got the better of the Southport ruck, who is considered to be one of the VFL's toughest, on multiple occasions despite being two inches shorter. He also set the tone up forward - his "toughness" was a major contributing factor to their win. Also worth noting that the Werribee small forwards feasted all year (not just in the GF) on the back of his competitveness in the air. He's rarely out-marked.

He trained with Casey for a bit during preseason a couple of years ago - JT mentions it in his recently published interview as well. Assume he then went to Werribee to play with their Albury contingent, after he'd completed his apprenticeship. JT mentioned that the club have been monitoring him for years, going back to when he was playing for Lavington.

Good chat. Seemingly a down to earth fella - going to be easy to cheer for.

Reckon the coaching staff got sick of watching Petty get out marked every time the ball went inside 50 last season. That, or they're thinking about relieving JVR of his ruck duties next season.

My draft philosophy is simple - pick Werribee players and prosper. Welcome AJ!

Jeffo is playing ones (hopefully), Fullerton sucks, Verrall is a ruck and Melksham isn't a tall.

JVR back up. Needed a key forward who competes in the ruck, so it makes sense in that regard.

That's a Randy Savage flying elbow drop.

Wow. Didn't see that coming - we were linked with 2 other Werribee players, and wound up picking the bloke no one expected to be picked up. Work horse. Massive heart. "Absolute wild card" is the message I just received from one of my Werribee contacts.

Reminds me of Josh Kennedy.

Mail, or speculating? He'd provide a pretty good Viney impersonation in the event Jack was injured or needed a week off.

Leader.

Draft day! My order of preferred outcomes, based on the rumoured candidates for our picks - 1. Langford and Tauru 2. Langford and Allan 3. Tauru and Allan 4a. Langford and Lindsey 4b. Tauru and Lindsey Go Dees.

Feel like I'm taking crazy pills - just don't see it with this fella. In JT we trust etc though.
