Good game. Kane Cornes is going to be awesome for us, with his ability to get the pill whilst also often stopping the opposition's gun player. Though do we have a primary tagger anyway other than Kane??

I reckon I'd buy myself in Dream Team, sitting on half-back racking up the possies. Crampton and myself will hopefully continue to play loose throughout the season.

Richards and Fuller look like very competent forwards. Blackman looks like he's going to be a real hardnut workhorse in the midfield. Could be incredibly important come those tight games.

This will also be used as an activity check, those who have not named a number by the end of May will come under consideration for exclusion from the sim.

Yet to name a number:
Malone
Bochat


Notify me of any mistakes.

Eek, completely forgot about this. Number 14 plz if it's not too late.

when is our next game!

 

[Jono]

Let's try and get some discussion going.

Based on our individual positions, who do you think will trouble you? Who will be your tough opponents?

As a half-back flanker, I can see someone like O'Keefe or Burton troubling me if they lead up the ground a lot and present. Won't allow me to zone off. Additionally they could be damaging on the scoreboard if I'm not accountable.

Hopefully we can back Cornes to do his usual shut down job while still getting possessions. Not sure how defensive I'll be in the midfield.

 

[Jono]

Yeah I'm interested to see how Kane plays for us, hence why I asked whether Kane will play the dual role he plays for Port, or as our best midfielder, will we have a separate tagger and let Kane run loose. He probably isn't much of an outside running midfielder anyway, and is best when he plays both roles.

 

[ash chaulk]

i see myself as a utility pretty much going to compare myself to beau waters.

obviously Kane to dominate probably take out the brownlow. Blackman for the Norm.

 

[Hoggy31]

Do the game tomorrow or soon after that.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Players like Kirk will be all over me like a rash. Assuming I get a starting gig.

EDIT: Would love to start alongside Cornes tbh.

 

[chaminda_00]

Only player i can see kick a goal on me is Nick Davis TBPH

 

[Johnners]

I can see the quicker backs troubling me if the balls on the ground, but hopefully if i can present well and dominate marking contests that wont be a problem.

 

[bugssy]

any idera when our next game is ?

 

[pasag]

I see myself as big, bad and bustling in the Mick Martyn/ Blackman mould. Have a little bit of the 'flying doormat' in me as well. And absolutely no class at all, fwiw.

 

[Hoggy31]

This is delayed because I'll probably switch to a different sim that used to be $30 but is getting released free very soon, it's said to be much better than the one I'm using atm.

May want to change position preferences, 188cm is way too short for a ruckman

 

[Smudge]

I was thinking more ruck rover than ruckman but there's no "midfield" option.
