Do we perfer Docherty the midfielder over Docherty the rounding defender over the first month or two is the question isn't it?
how is his scoring as a mid?

I think either way Docherty can be a Top 6 defender if not Top 3

Thank you - some say the best white powder comes out of Geelong but I disagree, the best white powder you'll find is in Japan this time of year.

Good intel mate, do you think Grundy is worth picking this season?

max looks thin might be me but looks skinny still could be purpose intended .Grundy looks exceptional though not in my team yet will be shortly if max keeps forward after his 2 weeks rehab

Early days I know but I see a number of draft teams with both McKenna and Wilmot. The Lions are as they say "in the window" and have a reasonably mature defence so breaking into it could be a challenge. I know Adams is out but they have guys to replace him. If they want speed out of the backline McKenna probably fits the bill and takes some pressure off Rich who often appears near the top of the metres gained stat (and could McKenna affect Rich scoring?). But can they fit in both McKenna and Wilmot consistently. Or will it be in and out depending on opposition match ups. Ashcroft is another one. No question of talent and Neale has been impressed by him apparently. But will he get enough minutes on a consistent basis at that high price. If he was at a lower end team rebuilding he would probably get as many mid minutes as he could handle but so hard to break into a Lions team that appears to be full of solid players on every line.

Beware the sub

Beware the sub

No way we are going to avoid that.

Matty Johnson 🤔

Matty Johnson 🤔

Has been one of the real standouts on the track at Freo, on my mid bench till preseason games

@HoleyFrijole$ on this WCE possible team :-

View attachment 51931

Waterman & Petruccelle I personally don't think should be best 22 - have been given ample opportunity over the years to cement their spots & have failed to take them. Ryan actually plays tall for his size so could be the 3rd tall fwd so Waterman not required.

Expect Shuey to play more half fwd in what could be his last year.

Here is my guess/ hope before any preseason games :-

FB: Hurn - Barrass - Cole
HB: Duggan - McGovern - Hough
C: Gaff - Culley - Hunt
HF: Sheed - Darling - Shuey
FF: Ryan - Allen - Cripps
Fol: Naitanui - Yeo - Kelly

Int: Williams - Ginbey - Clark - Chesser/Hewett

Is yeo in your team atm?

I have him in a keeper league - he was a slider in his draft year, as you may know. Was rated between 5 and 10 by some.

Yep, I thought he would go top 10 for sure - had a few injury issues last year but has comeback a man on a mission this preseason.

Im pretty settled on 3 mid price players. One from each line,
Def- Yeo
Mid- Hopper
Fwd- Flanders
Would like to know what others are thinking 🤔
