You mean resume normal transmission 🤣 draft number 75 starting tomorrow!
Nah .. I'm pretty set on my side for now (this far out) .... barring rookies of course ....

- literally less than a minute to bring it back to what it was ....
- had just swapped out Round 0 players ... lol .. what a waste of time that was ...

Watson is 170cm (5'7" in the old money)

For reference:

Brent Harvey is 175cm
Caleb Daniel and Kosi Pickett are 171cm
Tony Liberatore is 163cm
Didn't realise Libba 163cm, what a champ. Tom nearly 20cm taller though, had him most of this year and was in my starting team this year, although, nervous around sustaining his high level. think he will be in the thick of things at CBA's. What gets overlooked re his lift in numbers is he doesn't seem to get the tags any more, plus higher cba count. age 31, risk off period it feels

I'm not that concerned even if he is mostly forward, he'll still have relieving duties whenever injury magnet is having a rest and he can mark a ball and kick goals, no reason why he can't average in the mid 90's or beyond, and then when Darcy gets his inevitable niggle....lol, bounty time!
I think paying 550k you want a 105 average, not mid 90's.

Cam Rayner woohoo, time for his breakout year? Could be a late bloomer...still only 25.
Yes, at the lions who gets the Ashcroft Role for the first half of the season. Rayner or Robertson.?

Rayner on ball would be hard to stop, the lad is a ball of muscle. With a few preseason behind him his endurance should not be a question,and for the first time in a few years no reports of injury set backs during preseason.

Don’t forget when they throw him in the square for CBA’s to rove to Darcy.
I will find it interestng how Freo set up the field with CBA and FWD Line stoppages. Naturally Jackson will attend CBA as RK, but evne more interesting is the talk of him and his expansion to a MID role. I am also excpecting Darcy to miss 4-5 games and Jackson to go 110+ when darcy is on the sidlines.

With Macrae and his hammy issues, Jackson now becomes F1 in my team.

Would the stats gurus have any data on how often Darcy and Jackson where at CBA together from last year.??

Yeah I hear ya, but I think we have to temper our expectations of forward scores this year, until some midfielders get the DPP status
Thats why i think load up in the midfield and defence.
Have a sub 300k fwd line, you wont get burnt if macrae and jackson come out doing well because you will have a young, sheezel, steele types on the other lines for the same coin who are more likely to do better anyway.
Worry about the fwd line when we are more certain on the premos or when Darcy does go down.
