Who's happy with Youngs game,?
No 2nd efforts.
Waiting for other to come up and spoil.
Not convinced he is the answer down back.
Miller isn't either. Get some mongrel ffs

my impression of Young is he has jimmy jess-like mongrel,

but too many cameras
 
Well. GC aren't Collingwood. They do trad start the season well. No Lynch so Collins will murder Koz imho. Ryan is not gonna take that many marks. Funny how out of whack this team feels now. They will try to control Bolton and Dusty game over.
 
Samson gave us another Delilah game
Wouldnt play him against GC
Naismith in the ruck 2nd ruck duties between Balta & Kosi Lefau playing as 3rd tall

Naismith Taranto Dow

Hopper Ryan Brown Grimes

Sub- Ross
 
im surprised everyone has Kosi a walk up, even without Lynch.

he was free, so nothing lost,

but he's looks a long way off seniors to me

Sampson is gonna be good to draw a couple of defenders and clunk and kick a couple until lynchy comes back I reckon?

the menace, defensive workrate and shovability of our premiership wingers Pickett/Kmac is still compelling,

but I think its time we get some zip on the wing.

jeez bobby hill was a great pick up. Liam Henry will do the same for Saints.

coultrain could be our man?
We need to go past Pickett/Kmac combo.

In 2024 the wing position is all about pace and elite footskills.

Great call Ezy. I was trying to pin point who he reminded me of.

a lot of it his head and haircut,

but he displayed that Raines class and poise too.

I see real footballer attributes in Green, Campbell, Sonzie, Dow and coultard, and Clarke

Ryan is a baby and shows great promise.

I see a champ in Gibkardashian.

$hai clearly has the ability to win the next 5 coaches awards (brownlows are clearly out of the question)

I think 24/25 will be long years.

but we can turn it around pretty quickly.

quick being the operative word.

Clarke has to come into consideration. Might lack a bit of endurance but has pace & footskills. Two things the side lacks.
Also McAuliffe as he has some intensity about him for mine.
Matty C also for some speed and foot skill when he’s fit and conditioned would be very handy.

Do we have cap space for Bailey Smith?

bandwidth for the instagram could be a bigger challenge?

I hope we go Jagga Smith, best available CHF and speed speed speed next draft.

actually the thought of Jagga Smith makes me revise my R0 side

M.Rioli T Brown H.ralphsmith

M.Lefau B.Miller J.Ross

M.Colina J.Hopper O.Hayes-brown

L.Fawcett N.Cumberland T. Brown

K.Mccauliffe J.Trezise T.Brown

Yes McAuliffe doesn't look slow. That fast tracks him.

Clarke & Coulthard are definite options but they're also midgets. It's a balancing act.

*Both wingers arent up to it
*Young at full back massive worry
*Kosi at CHF that's unbelievable
*Campbell, the same Campbell that played last night??
*Hopper and Prestia?? Both couldn't put in 3 steps let alone a jog.

Besides those concerns not a bad side

There is no way we are going to be shifting guys from where they have trained all pre season for the round before rd 1 based off a couple of poor quarters in a practice game. And there is little chance we will make more than 3 or 4 changes to the 22 that started last night.
Vlastuin will play- probably for Brown.
Graham will miss.
DRioli will play HBF.
Gibcus will be KPD.

B: Vlastuin, Gibcus, Grimes.
HB: Short, Young, DRioli
C: Pickett, Martin, KMac (Banks/Ross?0
HF: Baker, Kosi, Campbell
F: Bolton, Balta, ???
R: Naismith, Prestia, Taranto
Int: Ryan, Hopper, Dow, Broad
Sub: Ross (KMac/Banks?)

Nank if fit obviously in- for Ryan.
Im not sure who gets that last FP spot. Maybe Green for another small forward. Maybe Cumberland for a goal kicker. Maybe MRjr for some speed higher up the field. Or maybe McAuliffe for an extra mid. But I think we need a forward.

Pickett Baker D.Rioli

Clarke Balta Coultrain

Sampson Dusty Green
