        Ralph mentioned the players that flew up on the first flight.
        The X account did get to the Captains run though.

          The thing with Bevos defence is it works if we put immense pressure on the ball carrier up the field. So you can’t carry guys against GOOD teams like Hynes, Dolan (both not ready) Poulter, along with guys like Sanders, Davo, Freijah who are still a week to week proposition at this stage of their careers. We got it wrong last week.

          Our backlines not great but with Jones the anchor and Lobb/JOD freed up to intercept I think we have to run that trio in defence plus all of Harmes, McNeil, VDM, Garcia as the role players up front for the rest of the year. These guys aren’t world beaters but they’re now all seasoned AFL players and you know they’ll pressure the ball carrier as good as anyone on our list.

          We just need to play chaos ball and if we can put enough pressure on the ball carrier and win the ball at stoppage our backline will hold up fine. Need to adjust in game though when we’re not on top at stoppages and have a defensive mode where we set the defence back, clog it up and just play everything down the line and grind out some time off the clock until our inside game starts to click again. Not a hard thing to change tbh

            Season somehow rests on Liam Jones turning back the clock. This is our best side outside your standard 4 to 5, 50/50 calls each week (Coffield/Cleary etc.) and Harmes in for Poulter.

              Not sure it all rests with Liam, but he being able to hold down the FB role and allow both Lobb & JOD to intercept more will be beneficial.

              Our fortunes rely heavily on our ability to be strong around the contest, use the ball efficiently and then defend on transition… if we see improvement in those areas we can make up the 2-3 goal gap we are continually seeing against the top 8 teams.

                Best side with the players available. Be nice to have Marra, Adz and Weightman in that team
