DK with no Bews isn’t particularly helpful.

Welcome back for another bumper season @Matt

Ok, so we don't officially have bubbles anymore but clubs need to implement a curfew and no touching rule for their players!

Isn't Bews a small/medium lockdown defender ?

Defender structure might depend if Stewart plays and where they use Blicavs.

Sicily is absolutely fine. Have had that confirmed.

I’m not going to comment on Hardwick, but read between the lines…

Obviously things change.

Good stuff mate as always with the inside news.

SDK 2.04m v Bews 1.86m
Blicavs 1.98m
Henry 1.94m
Kolo 1.91m
Stewart 1.90m

Surprised Bews is that close to Kolo & Stewart in height

 

[Rumbler]

One thing to keep in mind is to make sure these rookies getting named are actually in the 22... Remembering back to last years opening round when Connor Downie was named to debut but ended up being the sub

Yeah 100%. And if I recall correctly, last year the supercoach website displayed that green tick for the player even if he was picked as a sub. That was so misleading.

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Love these rookie debut videos from all the teams. Seems Hough is a Simmo favorite already...

AFL is certainly not a high priority for South Coast NSW TV. I have to switch channels, during the live telecast of the MEL vs WBD game, from 7mate to PRIME7.

The thing is, Blicavs is so flexible that he could play wing R1 and key defender R2 when Bews returns. Tuohy can play half-back or wing too.

Have they got a ruck yet ?

Blicavs , Henry , Kolo , SDK , Stewart all down back 🤔

Smith will be running up and down.

No Duncan or Menegola either just confuses things

That's what they did all last year but with Henderson instead of SDK. The odds of Geelong restructuring their defense for 1 round around Bews or Duncan/Menegola is highly unlikely. The main questions for SDK were Blicavs, Henry and Kolo. Now that they are all named with SDK, this is as good of a confirmation as we are going to get that its SDKs spot to lose.
