Preseason training

[Danny Delre]

On annual for 2 weeks. Pity i didn't get a chance to go have a look today

[Danny Delre]

Any idea if they are spreading the talent or trying to start forming a best team?

I reckon they would spread, then closer to season be best v the rest

Competitive Match Sim today.
Darcy dominated L.Jones. McNeil with a couple of goals was prominent.
6 players rotated on the wing including Croft.
Goal kicking accuracy was pretty good.
Freijah on a back flank, Sanders very good right in the middle and kicked the first goal.

I'll add some more later.

McNeil has been a bit of a whipping boy but I thought his form really improved in the 2nd half of last year, if he can keep improving then I think he can fill that 2nd small fwd role we desperately need.

Love to hear that for Sanders as well, I think we need to get games into him this year, maybe coming off the bench into the midfield rotation.

Mcneil needs to starting kicking goals at afl level. Just struggles to convert.

Yeah he always does something good, and then let's himself down, just needs to find the composure to finish off his work.

McNeil was very noticeable today and the fact that he nailed his shots really helped him.

Spot on.
We've had over 60 new members join since the upgrade, Unfortunately more than 45 of them haven't responded to the welcome message or even follow-up emails.
No one will get the upgrade for access too the rewards board until they make a decent contribution to discussions and they respond to the welcome message they have received.
Lets face it if some members can't be bothered responding to a message it's unlikely they will join in with discussions.

I probably didn’t - so thank you to all new layout much easier to follow, go dogs

the think about McNeil is that there has been some form of growth each year, every year - this has kept him on the list and he’s kept ticking away improving at that small fwd role. It’s not easy but if he focuses on converting and pressure I think he may become a serviceable dog.

[River boys]

If McNEIL can't kick goals at those critical points in a game it's a waste of time move on

[River boys]

Can anyone post the training day's and times for the doggies will be great.

Thats great to hear, if we have some genuine crumbing small fwds, our attack is going to be very dangerous.

You said Croft ran through the wing today, do we think he's gonna be a Blicavs type swingman, or will the Dogs try and set him up at one end permanently?

I didn't think he was that impressive in that role. Did okay but I hope we put a line through that for the balance of the preseason.

I think he did well last year and started to really earn his spot. He's also been fit right through the preseason. I remain confident he can be a regular performer for us.
