Do we want to give Harry plenty of early experience or will it just knock him about.?...I reckon BB wont want to play him and will go one of his ruckman at CHF with Casboult at FF.....Gorringe is probably the player we would play at CHF IMO and wil also have a run on the ball with Casboult doing less ruckwork and staying at FF.
Dont see who ever we play at CHF expected to kick many goals but whose job will more to provide a marking contest and get the ball down to the smaller/mid sized players...
Agree. I think, Krooz, Gorringe and Casboult will be the three. Leave Casboult and home and rotate the others. However Mckay already looks to be ahead of Gorringe and will no doubt play this year. Jones is finished, just cannnot find a way to get involved in the game.

I watched Jones pretty closely in the first quarter. I'm pretty sure he thinks he's playing a game of cricket, fielding at long on.

It must be the sunny days that has him confused?

Jones' work ethic & attack on the footy/player with the footy is actually pretty good and reminded me of how Aaron Hamill used to play.....only problem is he simply cannot get his hands on the footy for the life of him and that's the killer......

Exactly!
He reminded me of a human pinball the way he was crashing into opponents but he seems to have no idea about getting to where the ball is heading. If he does get to a marking contest, hard hands means that he's most likely to spill it.

We all agree, simply a pity the intent leads to nothing.

Jaksch must be played up forward, he looked ok in the NBs last year when tried there, albeit for limited periods.

McKay will be in the F50 for the next decade if we can keep hold of him. He showed more in a few chaotic minutes than most of our forwards have shown since Fev left!
Not sure SOSOS will make it unless they can work on his pace, and Cripps has proven that can be changed. SOSOS looked slowish, but I concede that can also be a result of slow decision making. Point of contrast, Weitering is not super fast but never looked slow and he already has an AFL body. But skinny kids who look slow are really starting behind the eight ball, because they need bulk which is almost anathema to adding pace.

The most encouraging thing about Weitering for me on Sun is that he looked like he had always got time and he always looked composed. He'll be very important to us not only as a player but as a leader and role model in future years.
