        Arty Jones - his development is the most important on the list. There is a position for him next year. If his good enough he makes a half forward spot his own. I thought his volume improved significantly at vfl level.

        Joel Freijah - does he kick on? Is he a nice best 22 player or is he ready to become one of our top liners

        Buss - he debuts round 1 for me

        Lobb - I think he can be AA

        Sanders - cementing his spot

        JOD - injury free season. Potentially a move up the field.

          Levi West ripping the Coates League to shreds. Cooney, too, would be icing.

            - A new jumper without the silly toilet lid collar and a much improved away guernsey
            - Seeing Sanders' physical development over the preseason in particular
            - Happy to see the toilet lid collar gone but not particularly a fan of the new collar, and I thoroughly dislike the new away jumper. I don't understand why blue and red hoops on a white jumper is not good enough. I know it will only be used maybe 3 times this year but would hate to be stuck playing a GF in it.
            - Sanders look to have lost his puppy fat and looks lean and strong. What I was hoping to see.

              Keen to see Croft get on the park and show us what he?s got. The early signs are good this pre-season.

                Further improvement in Sanders and Freijah and a good debut from Busslinger.

                  Simple one for me. I'm looking forward to not playing Melbourne in rnd 1!

                      I'm looking forward to big years from the 3 KPFs. Darcy will start taking the best defender, which leaves 2 for Marra and 3 for Naughts. Really hope Reid helps them with their craft.

                      Also keen to see the debut of the Bus.
                      You keep on using that word... I do not
                      think it means what you think it means.

                        I've seen Reid doing a bit of work with Darcy. If he can improve Darcy's output as a key forward that will be massive for the club.

                          And this is why having him as our second ruck if Tim goes down with injury as ‘the plan’ does my head in.

                            We do need a proper ruck to back up Tim especially given his concussion history. Unfortunately Lobb is the backup ruck and Darcy supports him. Unless we bring in another train on player soon it seems to be the plan.

                              Stupid bloody plan if that’s it. Our possible best defender and/or best forward might need to bash and crash instead of playing important roles for us. Harry Boyd was apparently of interest, so surely someone else/ruck should be training against Brew for the final spot.

                                We can still sign Boyd if we want to.
