2025 Starting Line-Up

Re: 2025 Starting Line-Up

Do any of the new lads have a chance of a Round 1 debut?

Davidson the most likely one now.

There is always a new player or two in round 1.

We might bring in a Bramble type during the SSP windows.

Re: 2025 Starting Line-Up

Given Freijah looks to be in good condition is there a chance we now move him to a wing?

Early call if Josh Dolan can put a good pre season together he will play fifteen plus games.

He seems to be that high half forward we are desperate for in that has elite endurance, great connection kicking inside 50.

Huge call, he has a few in front to overtake

In terms of experience or output?

None of our small/high forwards (excluding Cody) have made a spot their own so if Dolan outperforms this group through the pre-season it's likely he'll be given an opportunity.

Saw the club video on Twitter. Milesi strong on his speed, endurance and I50 at the “5th, 6th forward”. Power chimed in on his ability to execute the running patterns with his athletic ability.

If he can do what say VDM can do with his running, but hit aggressive I50 targets and actually kick goals himself, then he’s got to be an early favourite to play the most games of the draftees as Aza suggested.

We were already high scoring this year, but I think MKenn is an upgrade on the HHF version of Jack. If Dolan proves to be an upgrade too then the forward line looks better. Especially if Dolan is as good on executing the I50 aggressive kicks as Milesi says then our talls might just become even a little more dangerous.

I’m looking forward to what he can do in the preseason, especially under the pressure in match sim.

Yep, the Marra omission really stands out.
Davidson and Scott in the starting line up is also hard to miss but more importantly where is Treloar?

Marra out is there any reason you want this?

Poulter is an interesting one isn't he? Looks to have all the tools to make it as a wingman but for some reason he cannot string it together for five plus weeks.

I'm not sure JJ is best 18 yet. He struggled to get on the park last year I think Duryea is still ahead of him.

On Busslinger is this more of you want him to play or you think he is ahead of JOD?

Re: 2025 Starting Line-Up

I love the draft. It’s like Christmas. Everyone’s a gun. One of the best times of the year.

Now is the other. When our depth is so amazing we can’t fit everyone into the best 25 players.

Then by mid year (some seasons sooner) we bemoan our lack of depth and struggle to fill the 25.

Between these things and the awesome training reports, these are good times right now.

Poulter has played some excellent VFL games and has put in some good performances for the seniors but I can't work out what is missing from his game but there is something missing.
