Gorringe and Phillips need exposure and senior games on end as much as we can offer them IMHO. Same could be said for a number of other blokes.
Foster....who knows whats happening there.
Jones to the magoos to learn/play FB.
My preseason side had Rowe at CHF with Casboult at FF but unless they decide to throw Gorringe to CHB (not a bad idea!) then Rowe will stay in defence and we'll rotate the newbies through the ruck and forwardline with MK and Levi.
I get the idea that we have been assessing who is ready to step up to regular senior footy in varying roles rather than anything else. If you haven't seen a player yet they are either injured or earmarked to play a certain role IMHO.

Think I'll go along and have a look at what is now close to our best team. Pity about Murph.

Young Charlie Curnow must be making a pretty good impression, named in all 3 games, and you would have to think now would be a good chance to play early games in season proper.
It'll be interesting to see what role he settles into, probably more as a forward, in his 1st season at least.
Someone has to kick our goals !!
Weitering also looking good, which is probably less surprising....

Navy, it's not just a color, it's an attitude !!!
Given that it's a pre-season game and a time of experimentation and 'mixing it up a bit' I wouldn't mind seeing Weitering have a game up forward.

Agree. Like to see him trialled for at least a quarter up forward.

Weitering is a natural backman. Curnow a natural forward.
I'd love it if we just left that alone and let them settle into the team. Going to be hard enough to be first year players.

I had a chat to Ed after the Essendon game and he reckons Charlie will be a star as a marking forward. He could be a tad biased but I'd like to think that he's on the money

Some may have already been written off altogether.
This one has had the kiss of death on him since Andy maher called him the next ken Hunter this time last year.
