Hough must be a genuine Round 1 chance if hes playing 83% TOG, wont be a world beater but a warm body is a warm body.
I don't think he is a chance personally. Liked what I saw today but we have other options.

Provided Shuey & Duggan are fit... I'd see our Round 1 team something like this...

FB: Witherden Barrass Hurn
HB: Rotham McGovern Nelson
C: Gaff Redden Foley
HF: Petrucelle Waterman Langdon
F: Ryan Kennedy Jones
R: Naitanui Kelly Shuey

I: Williams H.Edwards Petrevski-Seton West/Duggan

Rioli for Langdon (don’t rate him at all)

Having H Edwards/ Barrass/Gov makes us far too tall - we are slow enough as it is lol. I think either Joyce or Hough could take that spot.

Don’t think Duggan will be right round 1, West deserves his spot.

Waterman wasn’t even picked for today’s game, not sure what the story is there. Dixon was decent, but the supply was terrible.

Williams was poor today, he really needs to step up - been in the system long enough.

How could I forgot Rioli, lol I don’t rate Langdon either but the coaching staff seem too.

Waterman had an asthma attack apparently so that’s why he didn’t play.

Edwards playing allows them to play Barrass up forward which seems like what they want to do, I expect we would have seen it again today had Edwards not been in protocols. Also Edwards is at the point where he’s only going to improve by playing senior games.

I think Williams has shown that he’s not going to be our next lead ruck.. we are going to have to trade for one... I’d start by getting into Luke Jackson’s Managers ear.

I wish re Jackson lol, I would make a play for Meek - more realistic 😉

Odds are Jackson stays for a few more years at least, but I’d still try using our soon to be free’d up Darling money, lol

I kinda get a feeling we’ll end up with English. Not my first choice... but if we do I hope he stays at the Dogs for another few years and we get him for free as a free agent, like a reverse Lycett situation, lol
