00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to the Official Supercoach AFL Podcast.

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: I'm L Payton. Preseason is in full swing.

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: Practice matches upon us, but for the last three or

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: four months it's all been about time trials, training.

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: Match simulation.

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: And the man who's been there since day one from

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: what I've been reading is Josh Barnes from Code Sports

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: and The Herald's Sons.

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 2: Josh, great to have you on the show.

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 3: I think I'm all track.

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 4: Watched out like we've made it to what mid feb

12
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 4: I think that's enough for me.

13
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,319
Speaker 3: I did go to every Melbourne club.

14
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 4: I haven't made it to Geelong on apologies Cats fans,

15
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 4: I didn't get down the highway, but every other club

16
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 4: in Victoria i'd made it to it some stage over preseason.

17
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 3: I was there on day one, the very first day.

18
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 4: I think I was at Collingwood then and I've been

19
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 4: there a lot since. So a lot of burnt faces

20
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 4: and a lot of burnt head but I've made it through.

21
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 3: I've got there.

22
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: You're ready for the real stuff. It's just around the corner.

23
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 3: Thank god, it's actual matches.

24
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 4: I was pleased to see on Monday Gelong and Hawthorne

25
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 4: when they played they were playing opposite jumpers. I'm sick

26
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 4: of seeing the reverse jumpers against each other in scratch

27
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 4: matches that sort of stuff.

28
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's good to have.

29
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: Some actual switching teams at our time, all that kind

30
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: of thing. So yeah, exactly. So yeah, we'll be all

31
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: over the practice matches and community series and opening around

32
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: and it's all coming at us very fast. Today we're

33
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: going to dive into a couple of the Melbourne clubs

34
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: that Josh has been spending a bit of time out.

35
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: We've got Essendon, Richmond Melbourne and North Melbourne on the agenda.

36
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, plenty of very relevant super Coach names at

37
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: those clubs we will be asking you about before we

38
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: jump into that. Reminder the super Coach Podcast, the Official

Speaker 1: straight off the top. Before we do get to those

44
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: clubs very quickly, there is some breaking injury news. Dossi

45
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: did touch on this very briefly on the Layers show.

46
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: Go back and catch up to those all the positional

47
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: shows they've been doing, but quickly we can reel through.

48
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: Just in the last few days. Shocking a couple of

49
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: days for the Giants.

50
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: Tom Green will miss the season with an ACL injury,

51
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: Finn Callahan out for a couple of weeks with a

52
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: hip flexer, hoping he will be back for opening round.

53
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: And the other one big one for super coach Matt

54
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: Rowel broke a finger in the State of Origin game.

55
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: He's having surgery.

56
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: They're saying he will definitely miss opening round, not putting

57
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: a timeline on it, but probably won't be back too

58
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: soon after that either.

59
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 2: So just quickly, Josh, does that rule all of those

60
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: guys out?

61
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I've got Callahan and Rael in my midfield,

62
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: so is it back to square one for me?

63
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd certainly be looking at it.

64
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 4: I reckon, now, if you've got back up options, how

65
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: much does it make have you a got him in

66
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 4: and how much does it make you consider Clayton Olbart

67
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 4: now that Tom Green?

68
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, this is an interesting one. The Giants midfield.

69
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: The Callahan one's tricky because he's not going to play

70
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: in the practice matches, so I'm not sure who their

71
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: midfield is going to be in those games. They've got

72
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: a lot of your sort of Harry rous and tops

73
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: that I think we'll roll through there. But I think, yeah, exactly,

74
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: But surely Clary has a much more enhanced role. I mean,

75
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: he basically has to take over from Tom Green now,

76
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: doesn't he. So he's got a fresh start. Well, they

77
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: always talked that up at a new club, he's got

78
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: to be better than he was last year.

79
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's going to be the number one inside

80
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: mid now. We were wondering how him and Green would

81
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 4: work together. Well, and we don't have to worry about

82
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 4: that anymore. So he's going to be sort of that

83
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 4: made man. Toby Bedford's out for a while as well,

84
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 4: so that's more midfield minutes gone for the Giants.

85
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: He's going to be sort of their go to hitting option.

86
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: I think.

87
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, at least he's practice matches. He's what five hundred

88
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 4: thousand dollars has got to be got worth considering it.

89
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's definitely moving up my draft rankings,

90
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: I'll say that, but.

91
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, by his own fault or is that just everybody

92
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 3: else is falling out?

93
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, more and more of what's happening around him. But yeah,

94
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: I'll definitely be watching him closely in these practice games.

95
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: But if we get into these clubs, as I said,

96
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: plenty of good names to talk about there, and we'll

97
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: start with Essendon, so I know you're down there for

98
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: some hardcore match simulation the other day. Who can you

99
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: talk tell us about. I've got a good list here,

100
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: But who's been jumping out for you? Who's flying on

101
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: the track.

102
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, So the last session I went to was their

103
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 4: big match simulation session, so a proper match they played,

104
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 4: which was basically the Assus versus Bees, was essentially done

105
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 4: that way and the standout play clearly was Archie Roberts.

106
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: So he'd only played off half back throughout all the

107
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 4: pre season, was thrown into match in the week before,

108
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 4: played okay in the second half, so so we'll go

109
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 4: with it again. Played the entire game on ball and

110
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 4: was the standout midfield and the standout play on the ground.

111
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 4: So I don't know how much that makes you consider

112
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: him differently, but he playing as an inside mid he

113
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 4: he was excellent. He was winning clearances, getting on the outside,

114
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 4: collecting ball and his foot use is always good. So yeah,

115
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 4: he was a player really that stood out to me.

116
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 4: Playing instead of half back through the middle, and that

117
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 4: opens the door obviously for Jacob Farrow to take.

118
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: That half back role. I think that's going to be

119
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: that step.

120
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 4: Pharaoh will play it half back and Farah's definitely in

121
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 4: my gmails with a lot of other people into the year,

122
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 4: so it's a bit of a domino effect there, I think.

123
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: So what do you think the essenon midfield looks like

124
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: in round one? Obviously Zach Merritt wasn't there the other

125
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: day he was playing in the State of Origin game.

126
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 2: They've got, you know, they have quite a few.

127
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: It's not like they don't have midfield as you've got

128
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: your Sam Durham's of the world, Joe Corwell. If he's feet,

129
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm not sure where he's out oft the moment. But

130
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: do you think Roberts, you know they've only made the

131
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: move in the last week or so, is this something

132
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: they're going to persist with?

133
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll be interesting to watching these practice matches. So

134
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 4: that a team the midfield was Roberts Parish Cardwell, Durham

135
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 4: was essentially that midfield. Luckie Blackiston looks like he's winning

136
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 4: the race in the ruck at the moment, so he's

137
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 4: probably ahead of Vego Vizentini. Nick Bryan, I don't think

138
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 4: we'll be back probably a month into the season, so

139
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 4: round four or five, and if he needs a couple

140
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 4: of weeks in the VFL on top of that, we're

141
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 4: looking around six or seven. So I think Blackiston will

142
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: start in the ruck and then that will be their core.

143
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: With Merritt.

144
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 4: We saw last year what Merritt was playing half back

145
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 4: half forward, so I don't know. I would assume they

146
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 4: would start him on ball, but you don't never really know.

147
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 3: I think that's probably going to be their core. Core.

148
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 4: Four, I guess would be your parish Cardwell Duram Merritt.

149
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 4: Corwell is fine after his knee sort of misshap a

150
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 4: few weeks ago. And then the question is how many

151
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 4: minutes does a nicer Roberts get in there? Can he

152
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 4: be sort of a top level player or do they

153
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 4: start him a half back and run him through for

154
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 4: a couple of cent bounces a game?

155
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean either one could be good for us.

156
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: In super Coach, he's four hundred and fifty k owned

157
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: by five percent of coaches at the moment, but he's

158
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: in a nice There's two or three players you scroll

159
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: down the prices, they're right on top of each other.

160
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: A Mkircher, Milas Bergman around that price, even Nick Newman,

161
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: who could be really good for us this year.

162
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, definitely one to add to that list.

163
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: Average eighty four last year, but it was more like

164
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: nineties in the last sort of month or so.

165
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 4: It got better and better as the year went on. Yeah,

166
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 4: and everyone else was falling down. He was one of

167
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 4: the few players that sort of enhanced his reputation.

168
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: I didn't get injured too, so that's always a plus.

169
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: Exactly appreciate the Bomber's. A couple of other names you

170
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: mentioned in there, obviously, Zach Merritt is a bit of

171
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: an unknown, but Darcy Parish he has he checking. I

172
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: think if he's there in round one at three hundred

173
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: and thirty K, well, I'm definitely he hasn't moved from

174
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: my team for the whole preseason.

175
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of people looking at Darcy Parish.

176
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 4: He didn't colleck the ball outrageously like he has in

177
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: the pass in that match scene, but he played the

178
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 4: entire game in the midfield, which is always a good sign.

179
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 4: Gaming his injury history, the talk out of there has

180
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 4: been that he's been flying a pre season. I think

181
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 4: Xavierdertsma said he's back to his all Australian level best

182
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 4: when I know he was a super coach Darling that year.

183
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 4: So I'll be looking at him very very closely. I

184
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 4: think he's going to be playing all through the midfield.

185
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 4: You can't really play him anywhere else it's fit. He's

186
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 4: had a pretty much a full preseason, so yeah, at

187
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 4: that price, he's definitely got to be either in your

188
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 4: team or very very close.

189
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: Now it took We love to talk about rookies in

190
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: the preseason, and you mentioned a name there that we're

191
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 1: very keen already in Jacob Farrow.

192
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: But what about Dyce and Sharpe.

193
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: You got a lot of press early impressing and I

194
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: think Eston was pretty pleased to get him where they

195
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: did in the draft.

196
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: But was he in the midfield there at all? In

197
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: the A team hopefully in massive?

198
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, he played in the A team the whole time.

199
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 4: He played the last quarter in the midfield, so he

200
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 4: was at half forward before that didn't do a whole lot.

201
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: Took one nice mark, but then once he was put

202
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 4: in the midfield, he started racking up ball in the

203
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 4: k so he did show he was available. Obviously, they

204
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 4: were shifting players around at that stage. It wasn't the

205
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: best teams against each other in the last quarter. But

206
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 4: once he gets those minutes, he does win the ball.

207
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 4: So that's what you've got to be watching. I suppose

208
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 4: in these practice matches, if he is playing midfield, I

209
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 4: think they'll probably try and rotate him through. Isaac Kako

210
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: is another one who will rotate through center bounce as

211
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 4: I would guess that's whether the way they finished last

212
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 4: year playing him through there. He's reasonably good in the

213
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 4: center bounce and then can float forward. So whether those

214
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 4: who are playing that role at the same time and

215
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: that limits either of them, I guess we'll see. I'd

216
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 4: be a little bit, I guess more cautious with him,

217
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 4: giving he is that high price some other rookies, and

218
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 4: if he's playing half forward, I don't think he'll scored

219
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 4: that well. But just his body shape is incredible. The

220
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: first training session I went to, I was wondering who

221
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 4: that twenty five year old was some samdful pick up

222
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 4: or something.

223
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 3: But he's he's ready to go.

224
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: So we did play Sandford last year, Yeah.

225
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 4: And played it quite well, so he's ready for action.

226
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 4: I think if they have injuries at Essendon, which I

227
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 4: think he'll be sort of first Cup.

228
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 3: Offering to move into more midfield minute.

229
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's always the tricking that with his young guys.

230
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: How much midfield time will they actually get. Maybe he's

231
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: more of a bench guy than an on lock on field,

232
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: which is where I had him for most of the preseason.

233
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, interesting, another one will be watching very close him.

234
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: And just quickly, speaking of injuries at Essendon, where's Jordan

235
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: Ridley's he back?

236
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 4: He did not play in that match scratch match, but

237
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 4: they believe he will play somethnutes in the second practice

238
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 4: match and then hopefully playing Round one. There's been no

239
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 4: doubt they say at Esson about his Round one availability.

240
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 4: They've been extra cautious is the words they used out

241
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 4: of there. But I guess we'll see with him. But

242
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 4: I think he is certainly likely to play Around one,

243
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 4: but no form leading to see a lot.

244
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: Of him before then.

245
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: He makes it pretty difficult any other rookies that might

246
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: break in Sullivan Roby's bit behind the others.

247
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: Isn't he unsided Sullivan?

248
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: We haven't really seen him do any drills yet with

249
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 4: that back injury, so he won't be playing until mid year.

250
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 4: I guess he's looking on him as a mid year

251
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 4: sort of downgrade if you get there. One that I

252
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: don't think would have been spoken about at all is

253
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 4: Max Condo Giannis.

254
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: He played in the A team in that scratch match.

255
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,599
Speaker 4: I think that was because Ridley in a couple of

256
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 4: hours weren't there, So I don't think he's right in

257
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 4: the mix at the moment. But he played really really well.

258
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 4: He was equal to Farrow in that sort of half

259
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 4: back third all kind of area intercepting type player. He's

260
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 4: another one I would be keeping a class on just

261
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 4: his VFL form. I think in the early weeks as

262
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 4: a possible sort of mid season player. We know Senon

263
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 4: is young, so they want to play as many player

264
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: as they can, and I think he has impressed people

265
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 4: so far this summer and is certainly a chance.

266
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 2: This year and another bolt of it.

267
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: I think John Ralph mentioned a couple of weeks ago

268
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: Hussein el Akta in the Ford line to see a

269
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: chance to get a game one hundred and thirteen K.

270
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

271
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 4: Ralphi's picked him in his team for round one, so

272
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 4: i'd be kimming close on that. He kicked three goals

273
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 4: four goals in the scratch match. Definitely definitely worth a look.

274
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 4: I mean those small forwards that are very up and

275
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 4: down in terms of scoring. But I think he will play,

276
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 4: probably early, and then maybe he'll rotate in and out.

277
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 4: I think the thing with him is he's a young

278
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 4: small forward. They're running patterns and all that sort of

279
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,719
Speaker 4: defensive boring stuff. I don't like that's going to be

280
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 4: the issue with him. But he does do one or

281
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 4: two things every session or every game that stands out,

282
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 4: so I think I'll be playing at some point.

283
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: It's interesting talking to Brad Lloyd. We've got some intel

284
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: from him going and check that out on Code Sports

285
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: and on the super co chap about the rookies and

286
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: how you know what's involved in actually getting from the

287
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: draft through to playing round one, and he said those

288
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: small forward roles are actually quite complex and there's a

289
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: lot for them to learn.

290
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, that was an interesting thing that I took

291
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: out of it. But we'll move on to the Tigers.

292
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: So if Dossi's there, can sound the knough alarm because

293
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of plays here that I'm getting very

294
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: excited about all the Ferraris are riving up.

295
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 4: It's very loud on part right at the moment, the

296
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 4: way they're having those engines, there's a lot of them.

297
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: I was at training before what a couple of weeks ago,

298
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 4: just on the end of the Old Open. They did

299
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 4: a very long match in session that day and I

300
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 4: walked away just wowed by Sam Lawler after that session.

301
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: So he played only through the midfield that day. Again,

302
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 4: did the same at a more recent scratch match last week.

303
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 4: Again just playing center square minutes. And I know it's unfair,

304
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 4: I know we all say it, but he just moves

305
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 4: and played exactly like Dustin Martin center clearance is one

306
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 4: Richmond insider said he is a better set shot than Dustin,

307
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 4: which I thought, gee, that's that's a big call.

308
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: He's pretty good. I thought it was Dusty.

309
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 4: But he just plays like him and he just looks

310
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 4: fantastic and they want to play in midfield.

311
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was outstanding that day.

312
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: His talk just though in the last week or so

313
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: that maybe just holding him back a tiny bit, you

314
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: know what That's about?

315
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: Anything there to worry about.

316
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think their concern with him is because he

317
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 4: came through with such an outstanding junior cricketer. He's never

318
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: actually had a footy preseason until this year. Last season

319
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 4: he came in off the draft, did a massive hamstring

320
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 4: injury midway through the year. Came in with a hamstring

321
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 4: sort of issues, so he didn't have a full preseason.

322
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 4: They tried to, as they say in club Land, deload

323
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 4: him at the end of this preseason. But he's a

324
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 4: lock to play in Round one, is all the word

325
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 4: out of there. So we'll be playing against Culton and

326
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 4: I imagine starting that center square.

327
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he has been in Adam it seems to be again. Yeah,

328
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: what about all the other kids in Richmond's. Yeah, there's

329
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: a lot of names there. That's obviously the Tigers and

330
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: Tiger fans are getting pretty excited about. But they actually

331
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: don't have too many injuries at the moment, so it's

332
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: a bit of competition for spots.

333
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 2: Who do you think actually gets in.

334
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a little bit tighter than I think you

335
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 4: would have expected. I think I think Real will probably play.

336
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 3: I think round one.

337
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 4: That's speed off half back they don't really have now

338
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 4: that Dan Reali is not there. They're looking for that

339
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 4: kind of player, so I would expect him to play

340
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 4: it halfback. Coming might be a bit more touch and

341
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 4: go through the midfield because their midfield stocks are getting

342
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 4: better and better even though they have huge name numbers

343
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 4: in there that they have more players available than ever before,

344
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 4: so I think he might be a little bit more borderline.

345
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 4: Another one everyone has been looking at Patrick Retchko. He's

346
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 4: cheap playing on the wing.

347
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: They love him.

348
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 4: They love the way he gets the ball on the wing,

349
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 4: which is music to how he is. I think again

350
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 4: he'll be another one that will be borderline, but I

351
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 4: think he probably plays round one. So they're going to

352
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 4: be a couple of names are a bit more iffy

353
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 4: than we thought, but I think they're definitely all going

354
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 4: to be playing a lot of food.

355
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: This Josh GiB GISs, he's best twenty three.

356
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 4: Yeap, He's definitely playing the I guess cautionary tale for

357
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 4: super coaches around Gibbsciss is people watching on the track

358
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 4: and even the session I watched his intercept game isn't

359
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 4: what it was. He was a sort of a star

360
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 4: in his first year as an interceptor. He's been playing

361
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 4: purely lockdown at training and it's been more finding his

362
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 4: feet I think so. If we're looking for big numbers

363
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 4: from him, sort of Zach Reid style last year, I'm

364
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 4: not sure we'll get that early. Whether that's something that

365
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 4: will come throughout the year or whether we've just been

366
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 4: misled from tiger Land. We'll see, but I don't think

367
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 4: his sort of possession numbers are as high as potentially

368
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: with hope.

369
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: Okay, interesting, interesting, and the other one that he's still

370
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: in twenty seven percent of Super Coats teams who maybe

371
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: picked him early on hoping that he'd be back.

372
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 2: But where's Josh Smillyett.

373
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 4: He won't be playing Round one. I think we can

374
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 4: put a line through him there. So he's not playing

375
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 4: either of the practice matches. There is hope that he'll

376
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 4: play maybe a half in the VFL practice match, but

377
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 4: he won't play on the senior side. Yeah, I think

378
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 4: that means he's not playing Round one. If he hasn't

379
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 4: played a full game, they're surely going to be ultra

380
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 4: cautious with him in that quad. He's only just getting

381
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 4: back into full training now, so we're only a few

382
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 4: weeks away, so i'd be tipping sort of Round three

383
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 4: or four, hopefully for a couple of games.

384
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 3: In the VFL.

385
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, the fingers crossed. Yeah, they're certainly not going to

386
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: take any chances with him. I wouldn't have thought.

387
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 4: But the issue with him is he hasn't been able

388
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 4: to kick, and that's a pretty important skill, not only

389
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 4: in Super Coach but football in general. The issue was

390
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 4: he was running okay, but then when he went to kick,

391
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 4: the quad was pining, not feeling good, so they didn't

392
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 4: really actually know what was wrong there until they sent

393
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 4: him for surgery. Apparently he's okay now, but he's kicking

394
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 4: still only building up, so if you can't kick full

395
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 4: strength then he's probably not playing.

396
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough for good But as you did mention,

397
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: we've mentioned a couple of times on these shows we

398
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: will need rookies during the year as well, so hopefully, yeah,

399
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: we can get a few a bit of a run

400
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: at it in the VFL, and we might see him

401
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: a month or two into the season if we jump

402
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: over to Melbourne again. Now the really interesting club, and

403
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: you've done well by drawing teams here. None of these

404
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: have any buys or anything to worry about earlier this season.

405
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: Best must pick as many of them as we like.

406
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: Who did you like at The D's.

407
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 4: Zavia Taylor was the person who stood out to me

408
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 4: when I was training recently. Just I was standing there

409
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 4: sort of watching and I didn't really recognize him at first.

410
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 4: Was my first watch there, and I was like, who's

411
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 4: that guy that's been playing for ten years down back

412
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 4: next to Jake Lever. He just looked so solid there,

413
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 4: can play tall, small, Yeah, he looks like a lockdown back.

414
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, excellent accent. So that's another strong defensive stocks in

415
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: the rookie department this year. I think, what about someone

416
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: like a Cozy Pickett or I mean, what's their midfield

417
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: look like? Because obviously we talked about.

418
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: All of it.

419
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: He's gone. The track has gone now, Jack Viney, I'm

420
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: not sure when we'll see him.

421
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 4: So yeah, I was having a real think about this

422
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 4: the other day, Like Jack Steele is really righting up

423
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 4: my expectations.

424
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 3: Like he's a player that has been played in sort

425
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 3: of a different role. In the last couple of years.

426
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 4: He was a really well scoring play and then he

427
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 4: was played more defensively and last year he got chumped out.

428
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 3: So badly that he was pushed out of the club.

429
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 4: He's five hundred and ten thousand dollars at the moment,

430
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 4: he's a real watch for me. I think he's in

431
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 4: seven percent of two. I think he can get back

432
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 4: to that well over one hundred scoring. He's going to

433
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 4: walk into a round one as what one AO one

434
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 4: B is their best midfielder alongside Cozey Picket.

435
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: How much he's playing there.

436
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 4: So he's going to get a lot of the ball,

437
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 4: play a lot of inside mid and he's certainly a

438
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 4: player I'd be watching. His skills and his composures stood

439
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 4: out to a couple of training sessions i've been too,

440
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 4: So definitely he's on the watch list for me. Cozy Picket,

441
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 4: I think we'll be playing that mid forward role. I

442
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 4: think he'll take that over completely from Petrarca. They sort

443
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 4: of switched that a little bit back and forth last year.

444
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 4: He'll be playing center bouncers, spinning forward I think will

445
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 4: be the plan for Cozy.

446
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: He's too good up forward to Yeah, it's been the

447
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: whole game running around on the question is.

448
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 4: How much of the ball is in their front half

449
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 4: and how much they need him getting the ball to

450
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 4: the front half. I suppose, but I think he'll be

451
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 4: that forward mid player. They played center bounces and goes

452
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 4: forward and he's listed as a forward available for your

453
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 4: team there, so he's got to be one of the

454
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 4: best chances. I suppose was a high scoring forward throughout

455
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 4: the end. What is a bit of a thin pull

456
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 4: I think this year.

457
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what about some of these younger guys who

458
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: are hoping to get some more midfield minutes like a

459
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: Harvey Langford or Caleb Winsors another one who's jumped onto

460
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: the raider in the last week or two.

461
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 4: Caleb Windsor will be I think if you've got your

462
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 4: one A and one bee is steal and pick at.

463
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 4: Caleb wins is going to be the number two like

464
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 4: he will be playing all midfield. That's all he's been

465
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 4: doing throughout preseason.

466
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 3: Has been lining up.

467
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 4: His kicking is still going to be an issue, we

468
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 4: know that's been a knock on him for a while.

469
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 4: But his speed and noticeably particularly for gathering possessions super coach.

470
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 4: So he's one two workers. Been really strong work with

471
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 4: the stand rule. He loves going past as the running

472
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 4: player Bailey Dale style, so he's that player they want

473
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 4: to give the ball to running pass, gain the extra

474
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 4: ten meets and kick it long so I've got him

475
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 4: in my team at the moment, handed that he's still

476
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 4: a defender in supercoach because he's got as a pure mid.

477
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm locking him into my team.

478
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: Two hundred and eighty three thousand in defense. So yeah,

479
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: there's plenty of money to be made there potentially. About CJ.

480
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: Giaff was lighting up a preseason early doors, but now

481
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,239
Speaker 1: he's been sort of off the track a bit.

482
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a little bit in and out. I

483
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 4: don't think that's too much of a concern. He's going

484
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 4: to need to play with jud mcveee gone, and obviously

485
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 4: who's there a oarly defender down there that's injured.

486
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 3: Bowie, Yeah, Bareie. That's it. So they're both gone.

487
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 4: That's the role C's going to slide it right into.

488
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 4: I think so him and Zavia Taylor probably down there

489
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 4: are the two inns. I think he plays often and early.

490
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 4: Whether he sort of produces scrolling wise is going to

491
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 4: be another question. But I think he'll be playing every week.

492
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: From Alvin for sure, yeah, okay, and any other rookies

493
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: he might get to go early. I mean Coloney, whit's him.

494
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: Plenty of teams, but that's just as a bit of

495
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: a throwaway spot on the bench. But what about Latrell

496
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: pickets one, who's another option up forward one hundred and

497
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: fifty thousand, So he's slightly elevated price.

498
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: But is he worth a look?

499
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

500
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 4: I think he's very much the same as al Laka,

501
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 4: and that he does some things at training where the

502
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 4: defenders sort of walk away shaking the heads thinking why

503
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 4: did I get subjected to that? He dances around people

504
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 4: crazily like cause he he's going to light it up.

505
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 4: I think he's going to be similar to Luckily. He

506
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 4: might be in and out of the team boy, but

507
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 4: one week in her kick three and we'll be saying

508
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 4: how good is this kid? And then he won't get

509
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 4: a touch for a couple of weeks. He's that kind

510
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 4: of small forward. But they have been using him similar

511
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 4: to cozyaut training, trying to at him around the stoppages,

512
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 4: add some verve as Stephen King's going to be after

513
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 4: all year, So definitely I think he'll be playing at

514
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 4: some stage this year. Again, what you can get out

515
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 4: of him, how long he'll be in the team, it's

516
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 4: going to be another question. But Melbourne is going to

517
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 4: be looking at as many young players they can and

518
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 4: young players they can do things, and he can do

519
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 4: things that not many players can now.

520
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: Obviously Max Goran wasn't there recently over in Perthase State

521
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: of Origin. But I'm not sure if you've had much

522
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: time to closely look at how he's going, and I

523
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: mean's obviously he's had a couple of little setbacks with

524
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: finger issue and then he had some was it some

525
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: hamstring awitness or something before the Origin game, but he

526
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: went ahead and played, so hopefully nothing too much to

527
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: worry about there, but there was some talking. He's maybe

528
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: having a little bit of you know, he's talking to

529
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: the umpires about how these new rules are going to

530
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: work and maybe giving away free kicks in intro clubs

531
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: and things like that. It's making me nervous when he's

532
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: nearly seven hundred.

533
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 4: K there's one report that he gave away five or

534
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 4: six free kicks or something wasn't there and intro club. Yeah,

535
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 4: he seems to be spending a lot of time working

536
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 4: on that. He's an interesting one, Max, because he is

537
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 4: a jumper, or traditionally was a jumper, so you would

538
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 4: think he'd be okay with the new rules, how much

539
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 4: maybe he's jumping has faded since those years, who knows,

540
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 4: But what did you think of him.

541
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 3: In the Origin match? Did you think he was sort

542
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: of at his normal level? Are you worried at all

543
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 3: about that?

544
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: It did make scoring one from No, I'm sort of

545
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: trying to say, I'm not going to read anything into

546
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: this game, but yeah, I mean none of the US

547
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: early did a lot, and I suppose it's tired when

548
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: you've got Max and Cherry on the same team. But yeah,

549
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: it did make me a little bit nervous that they

550
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: did see maybe a couple of times maybe a little

551
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: bit unsure about how to approach some of those center

552
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: bounces and what I'm I allowed to do and not

553
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: allowed to do. I mean, obviously Max has been around

554
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: for a long time. He's going to figure it out,

555
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: and they've been able to adapt whatever the rules have

556
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: been over the years, And like you say, he hasn't

557
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: maybe jumped as much recently because he's been able to

558
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: do other things, and now he can go back to that,

559
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: so I'm sure he'll be fine. But yeah, it is

560
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: a lot of money to pay. But I guess the

561
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: worry is is no one really obvious to swap in

562
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: for him. It's going to affect everybody.

563
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, and Melbourne doesn't really have anybody to split

564
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 4: the mets. I think Max Heath might play as sort

565
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 4: of a secondary rock. I think there might be an

566
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 4: option for them. Tom Gamble is still in a neck

567
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 4: brace after he had a knock injury. I think around

568
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 4: Christmas time he's still not training, so he's not really

569
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 4: an option for them right now. The one the other

570
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 4: minor concerned with Max and I think it's probably a

571
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 4: concern with most rucking, but he loves to get behind

572
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 4: the ball and Mark Yes, whether the new throw up

573
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 4: rules being quicker is going to be an issue for him.

574
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 4: Getting to contests is going to be another question. I

575
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 4: think if they're going to throw the balls up immediately

576
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 4: and he's caught on a back flank waiting for a kickout,

577
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 4: he might not make it to those contests. And that's

578
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 4: I think we're going to see probably more teams doing

579
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 4: the Geelong style ruckman, staying off the contest. Let's have

580
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,719
Speaker 4: a tool guy on the fored line do the rough

581
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 4: contest work. That seems to makes sense, doesn't it. So

582
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 4: whether that's going to affect his scoring as well. It

583
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 4: means he's in less contests, that's not a good thing,

584
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,239
Speaker 4: but if he's intercept marking on the back line, that's

585
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 4: a great thing.

586
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 3: So I guess we'll see, Yeah, exactly.

587
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: Well, so the other club that we've got down to

588
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: talk about his North Melbourne, and we may as well

589
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: go straight to Tristan Cherry because all the same questions

590
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: around him and he's just probably about a couple grand

591
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: cheaper then Max and super Coach again. Has been locked

592
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: into my team since Super Coach Open, but now starting

593
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: to second guess myself and thinking, you know, he gets

594
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: all these tackles which early around those ball ups, and

595
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 1: if there's not as many of them, is that going

596
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: to be a problem for him? Yeah, I'm not sure

597
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: if you're able to glean anything from North Melbourne training

598
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: that might help us out here.

599
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a little bit concerned about Sherry. Like I

600
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 4: have him in my team at the moment. I like

601
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 4: barracking for him. I like his sort of hard grunt style,

602
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 4: but he is a stoppage player completely, and if we're

603
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 4: reducing stoppages, there's not gonna be there's gonna be less

604
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 4: throw ins this year. Only by a few, they say,

605
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 4: but who knows how that's gonna work. Again, he's sort

606
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 4: of more around the ball than gone. But if he's

607
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 4: he's a bit slow getting into stopages sometimes, so if

608
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 4: he's not there, he's not there. He does a lot

609
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 4: of tackling around stoppages. If we're not getting repeat stoppages,

610
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 4: it's going to be issued for him. So I'm a

611
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 4: little bit worried about him. I think I'll stick with him,

612
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 4: but I don't know. Again, like Melbourne, they don't really

613
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 4: have a backup option. Taylor Goad's been playing a lot

614
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 4: as sort of a second ruck in their matching stuff.

615
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 4: Cooper Trembath has been doing that too, but they're real

616
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 4: backups options. Jack Darling is probably the other one that

617
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 4: they'll have, so they're real, like two minutes a quarter

618
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 4: type options for them.

619
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 3: So he's going have to play all their ruck minutes. Yeah,

620
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 3: I don't know.

621
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 4: I'm going to be keeping a very close eye on

622
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 4: him in the practice games to see sort of how

623
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 4: he goes.

624
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 3: I wasn't wowed by Origin.

625
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 4: But then he was doing fifty to fifty to the Mexicorn,

626
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 4: so you can't expect him to score Miles in that game.

627
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

628
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a big, big question marker going to the

629
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: season in the ruck and we suddenly have a few

630
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: cheaper guys who was sort of bobbing up on the

631
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: radar too, And you know, you're talking about local mckendrey

632
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: might get ahead of Roley O'Brien at Adelaide and he's

633
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and nineteen k or something, so it does

634
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: there are a few other options out there. We sort

635
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: of very quickly touched on the ruck situation at Essendon,

636
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, Vigo VIZANINEI is sort of the cheap ruck there,

637
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: but you think he's probably behind Lackie Blackiston, who's actually

638
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: a defender in Super Coach, so he's probably not going

639
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: to be an option.

640
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

641
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Blagason is going to be the starting

642
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 4: Like he's jump is really suited to the new jumping rules,

643
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 4: so he was jumping over the top of Vigo who's

644
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 4: tall than him in that practice match, and I think

645
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 4: they like that sort of versatility of him being able

646
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 4: to fade into the back line and Peter Wright's going

647
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 4: to do a lot of secondary rock work at least

648
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 4: to start the year, so they can do like we

649
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 4: spoke about, right, can almost be your forward half ruck

650
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 4: and then Lakistan can fold back as a second defender,

651
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 4: release someone else, all that sort of stuff. So I

652
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 4: think that's probably a strategy that we're looking at, and

653
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 4: Key can fit that as a more an adaptable player

654
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 4: than Vego to start.

655
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 3: But one poor performance and he's probably going to be

656
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 3: chipped out again.

657
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what makes it hard. Can you get away

658
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: with one of these cheap guys at least to Nick

659
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: Bryan Arrise? Maybe, But anyway we're getting we're going down

660
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: the rock report old e was you get back to

661
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: the Kangaroos?

662
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: Who else do we like down at Adam Street.

663
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll be keeping a very close eye on Fino Sullivan.

664
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,959
Speaker 4: Apparently he was the best player on ground in their

665
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 4: matches him on the weekend. Obviously, he's in his second year,

666
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 4: so he's not going to be the cheapest player around,

667
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 4: but he's playing solely midfield now. He's a little bit

668
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 4: half back last year, so he's going to be playing

669
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 4: inside mid and win.

670
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,239
Speaker 1: He's a defender in super Coach where you can pick

671
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: him in defense, so yeah, that makes him a little

672
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: bit more interesting.

673
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 4: So he's definitely one I'll be keeping a very close

674
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 4: eye on, so he's going to be close to my team.

675
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 4: The other one, Cole mckirche was the second best on ground,

676
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 4: I've been told by the Norse sources. So he just

677
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 4: racks up ball like crazy. He wasn't even playing as

678
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 4: the highest defender to start on the weekend. Apparently it's

679
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 4: a little bit deeper with Caleb Daniel lup high and

680
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 4: he's still dominated out of that back half, so he's

681
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 4: locked into my defensive six at the moment.

682
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: He recited a few center bounces early on in preseason,

683
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 1: but we confident a ne alectually play half back.

684
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that was my fault.

685
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 4: He was plenty with the midfield one day that I

686
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 4: went down there, and then I've been told that he

687
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 4: hasn't really trained in the midfield other than that, So

688
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 4: maybe I just went a little bit hard on that.

689
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 4: But I think he's been playing pretty much solely down back,

690
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 4: and they need him there much more than they need

691
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 4: him in the midfield given their midfield stocks. So I

692
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 4: think he's locked down there unless so something surprising happens.

693
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 2: I'm till about their midfield stocks. Harry Shechezel.

694
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: I mean, do we even need to talk about him.

695
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: He's seventy percent owned in Supercoach. Obviously we can pick

696
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: him as a forward. But he's just going to play

697
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: midfield now we think.

698
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's still going to do a little

699
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 4: bit that mid forty to at the end of last year,

700
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 4: which could be a little bit hit and miss with Harry,

701
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 4: but he definitely has still just been racking up the

702
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 4: ball quite crazy. I think they've decided North, given they

703
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 4: have options in the midfield, they want him being the

704
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 4: guy that kicks the ball inside fifty and we know

705
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 4: that sometimes that means you can have quieter days than

706
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 4: if you're racking up thirty five the midfield, which he's

707
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 4: often done.

708
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 3: But I think he'll find plenty of the wall. Yeah,

709
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 3: I think he'll find plenty of it.

710
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 4: And I think, well, everybody's got him in their forward

711
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 4: line at the tournament. He has to be sort of

712
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 4: the number one scoring forward going into the year. I

713
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 4: think he's much out about that.

714
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: He was on favorite down there. Anyone else at North.

715
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: We need to look at where's George wardlore Right? Is

716
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: he backtraining?

717
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 3: Yeah?

718
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 4: So they think he might play the second practice match.

719
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 4: He's an interesting one wardlaw Again, he has to play

720
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 4: as an inside mid. I don't think he has many

721
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 4: strings to his both, so he's going to be one

722
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 4: that's going to be definitely worth watching in terms of

723
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 4: how he fits into that structure. They've got Parker, they've

724
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 4: got Ldu, They're trying to squeeze a lot in there.

725
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 4: They've got a Sullivan. Now she's all goes through there.

726
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 4: You start running out of options in terms of running

727
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 4: through the midfield. But they obviously want to play him.

728
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 4: I think he'll probably play around one, but he has

729
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 4: had those hamstring issues in the past, so they're going

730
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 4: to have to be pretty cautious with him and North.

731
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 2: They're an interesting stage in their development.

732
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: Maybe not as many bottom price first year players getting

733
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: in as we have seen the last couple of years.

734
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 2: Is there anyone a chance to break in early yet?

735
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 4: Luckie Douveston will play Round one. I think that's pretty

736
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 4: much locked in. Another small forward. It's quite a few

737
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 4: of them at the moment. They love the way he

738
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 4: gets up and down the ground. He seems to have

739
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 4: caught onto those running patterns pretty well. Kicked four goals

740
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 4: in that practice match on the weekend, so he's one

741
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 4: worth watching. Matt Whitlock as well. He played for forty

742
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 4: kick five in their practice match playing for the B side.

743
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 3: They're in an interesting.

744
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 4: Position with their tall forwards North obviously Lakie's playing. Then

745
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 4: do you play do just keep going with Jack Darling

746
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 4: Cooper Trenbarth finished you really well for them?

747
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 3: Do they go with him?

748
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 4: Whitlock's a taller option, hasn't done as much rockwork, but

749
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 4: do you play him or do you play Taylor Goat

750
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 4: as basically a second ruck? Stick him in forward for

751
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 4: a little bit. So they're going to be really moving

752
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 4: those players around. I think I think Whitlock's a real

753
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 4: chance to play early.

754
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 3: He's played only forward throughout.

755
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 4: This year, so again as a young, tall forward, how

756
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 4: much he's scoring, I guess we'll see, But if he's

757
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 4: running through as that second ruck, he might be worth

758
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 4: keeping eye on.

759
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting when you mentioned Peter right earlier and thinking,

760
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to figure out my draft rankings

761
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: at the moment, and in the forward line you bump

762
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: him up a fe spots because we think he's going

763
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: to do a little bit of extra rockwork. So yeah,

764
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of flow on effects there,

765
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: so that's awesome going through those clubs. Thanks for that, Josh,

766
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: Thanks everybody for tuning in. Reminder that official Super Coach

767
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: Podcast League Code four zero seven seven five six will

768
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: be keeping a very close match watch on all these

769
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: practice matches. There's another one later today I believe, and

770
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: then heap over the next couple of days on Friday

771
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: out Yes, just back to back to back, So yeah,

772
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: I think this is the place to be if you

773
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: can just have a laptop somewhere tuned into KO or

774
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: wherever these games are streaming, we'll have all the Super
