How tall do kps need to be?

Alot more to it then just height but that'd be on the lower-end, he is taller then Khamis but hasn't got the same leap.

 

[fargy]

Just having a look at the fixture thinking we seem to have played a bunch of the top teams. 21 rounds, with four byes, playing some teams twice, not playing some teams at all. What the actual frankincense is this gobbledegook?

If you have 21 teams, why not play each team once and have one bye in a 21 round season?

Stephen May is 190? And not a big leap. May be worth a go as a defender but a good winger would be great as well

There are some teams that are guaranteed a shot at finals purely because they got all three of Coburg, Bulllants and Frankston along with getting one of them twice while we only get the one game against Frankston and nothing against the Bullants or Corburg.

His built like a brick ***thouse though. I'm not saying Friejah couldn't make it as a key defender, I just think it's unlikely and would take him away from his best position and one we desperately need filled.

If our VFL serves to ready players for AFL it's probably good thing that they're playing in competitive games than giving beat downs to non-competitive teams. I'd much rather that for development than an artificially higher ladder position.

Bad day to have a bad game if you're one of JOD or Buku!

As much as I like both players. They need a spell in the VFL

I would be shocked if Edge isn't a senior assistant coach for a club next year

I don’t think it’s unrealistic to see us move on from Bevo, pick someone outside the club as new senior coach, see Lade move on due to being overlooked, resulting in Edge’s promotion

So Buss playing VFL means he was available

Hopefully Buss will get a chance at AFL soon

 

[dergert]

Surprised to see Baker omitted from the senior side.

Doesn't necessarily mean anything sinister though.

In the VFL they often manage players loads in a way that they can't afford to do in the seniors. If they put him into the rehab group during the week because they were concerned about his recent workload then I'm happy for him to wait another week or two. I wouldn't want any player being physically compromised coming into his debut game.
The VFL game is on Sunday so it gives him an extra day to recover too.

And if they monitor him during the VFL game and decide he's struggling they can limit his minutes.

Why?? I am much more surprised we offered him a 2 year extension. He is very much break glass depth and did nothing last week to show otherwise

If AFL had a job-share policy, Baker and Poulter would be ideal candidates. I'm sure they're doing the best they can, but I can't see either on our list long-term, surprised they're both not on 1-year contracts tbh.

 

[Spiritof82]

I see they are preparing him for the seniors by playing him at HF instead of the backline

We are always going to have these sorts of players. They know how to play a role.

Yes, but surprised he was omitted!!!
