Best team.....and next best

[cookie2]

I reckon Kerridge has been much maligned.

His disposal has improved markedly, he is a good size and he runs for 4 quarters.....

I hope he retains a spot. And then may the best bloke get a game!

Admit he was a smidge better with his disposal in the last few games I saw him play FB but he would have to demonstrate that on a very consistent basis to turn my opinion of him around. If he could though it would be a very handy outcome for us as he is big bodied, attacks the ball and the opposition and does keep running.

When he got a regular game at the end of 2017 he dominated and his DE was betters thanboth of Gibbs and Murphy.....

Given our injuries this year, he should have replaced Kennedy (injured) in Rd 2 but the powers that be....

Forward line looks a bit slow and lumbering, Fisher the only one there who woul apply decent forward pressure

Agree..I'd have Pickett starting if fit...50/50 on Fasalo too, good mark but not quick or defensively minded....maybe on the bench for him.
I think leg speed will still be an issue, McGovern, Setterfield and Fasalo adds more talent and firepower but makes us slower..
I know I'll be bagged for saying it but Wingard is that type of mid sized mobile smart X factor player we need.....McAdam might have provided similar...

EB I know its cherry picked but have a look at his highlights package on the website. Fas might not have pure leg speed, but have a look how quick he is at gathering, summing up the situation and having a ping. Obviously, we need to get him fit and he needs to get hungry.

+1

Garlett and Lang the only ones who can change my opinion.

Agree with that.

Those 2 both need a good pre-season before we judge them too hard.

GTC..take your point he is a smart footballer but a bit old school in that he is a lead, mark and kick type player and doesnt apply much of that forward pressure,
For sure he hasnt been that fit to apply himself in that area but will need to improve to keep his spot......maybe the new fitness bloke Russell can get him fitter.
I know someone who has worked for Collingwood and he always said Fazzy boy was one of the nicer humans at the Pies and had time for everyone....should be a fan favourite.

I'd be more impressed if he had a couple of tackles in that video.

Still he scores goals.  I'm not convinced that Wright would be better than him (Wright might work harder but fasolo has more tricks).

I much prefer Wright.

The day is coming fast where Daisy and Simmo's days are numbered (which we all knew)....

Yes.

We'll see Paul.  Fasolo has yet to endear himself and might do enough to change your mind.

Keep in mind that wrights season this year was quite disappointing but he wasn't the lone ranger.  I did note his reliable kicking for goal failed him particularly after the buy.
