Why do you say that?
He has had a very good preseason and played well in the practise games.

Re: Team, Round 1 2023
A little bit worried we don’t have one or two of Garcia, West or Tobes at foot of our tall forwards. Presumably we will rely on a rotating resting mid and Hannan or wingers like Scott or Baker to keep the ball in our F50 once our talks bring it to ground.
No excuses with May, Viney and Fritsch out.
C’mon dogs, let’s beat them by a big margin.

Scott and JJ will have to do the crumbing

Re: Team, Round 1 2023
Usually the only thing right is the team not how they line up.
I don’t believe a club will ever let the opposition know how they will line up two days before.
Even if it did start like that 2 minutes in it will change as the coaches try to get match ups how they want.
I’m not surprise West wasn’t in, I watched him in two match sims and he stuffed up a bit.
Crozier more a surprise but fact is we have a very deep list and could list arguments for a lot of players who didn’t get a gig.
Bevo will come under more scrutiny with team selections this year more than other year if we drop a couple of games, but we are all smarter in hindsight.

Funny that as watching the practice game Jamarra if he isn’t going the mark is very good on the ground, I also like Naughton on the ground ball , I think we have two extremely tall marks who can play the ground ball when the other goes up .

Well there is a belief that Bevo likes shiny new toys but I do believe Baker has earned his spot.

Ah - I forgot about JJ, makes sense. Smart user too, as is Scott.

Re: Team, Round 1 2023
I'd prefer Toby to Bruce, but perhaps they see Darcy as unlikely to run out the game and so Bruce is the 'versatile' tall replacement, while Toby is the one to provide fresh run.

We are a team of ancient Mountain Ash (the tallest flowering trees in the world. And they can be very old.)

That is a seriously insane average of 6 foot 3 . In 1950 our team probably had one player who was that height.

Re: Team, Round 1 2023
Happy with the lineup although a bit surprised with Brucey. Could he be the sub?
I genuinely hope he has a good year. He deserves better than for his career to peter out.

Re: Team, Round 1 2023
Are we surprised with McLean?
He is the one I got wrong. Thought out of the 3 of them Hannan or JJ would be the choice.
Considering his form in the final I'm a little surprised.
I guess he's had a middling pre season, so has JJ though.
