Do you think any of those three - Young, Cordy, Keith are lock down defenders though? Cordy has the desire, but perhaps not the size. Trengrove should’ve played early rounds last year and in the final last year.Quote:

He's fringe best-22 but brings elements we don't exactly have in abundance.
Our backline's obviously still a work in progress but it feels like the parts are now there once the chemistry coalesces that it'll be an effective one this year, and Trengove can play a valuable role in it against appropriate opposition.
It also won't hurt having him around so long as teams assume we're easily spooked.
Where is Billy Gowers?
Good question Fredi. Checked the injuries thread and he is not listed there.Quote:

I'm really surprised we haven't seen Lachie Young this preseason, like many I just have a feeling this kid will be a serious AFL player. Can he become our Nick Haynes? Easton Wood replacement? I think he can.
2 players to drop out. Not sure if Gardner will play. Strong team though.Quote:

Trengove seems destined for a year in the VFL - having said that, Bevo has shown a tendency to abandon pre-season plans at the last minute.....but it still looks bleak for Jackson.
Hayes with a show of confidence. Had a strong end to the H & A season 2019, but went missing in the final.
Looks like they're impressed with Butler early doors. From a selfish POV, I'd love to see a Butts make the grade with us (tis my surname)

Looks to be a fairly strong lineup from Port. Interesting to see how Georgiades goes for them.
Also going to be tough to figure out how to stop Robbie Gray now that he’s 50ft tallQuote:
