Preview R1: Changes for 2025

[Captain Furious]

Funny, all you seem to do is post rubbish and then you get defensive when it's called out.

Maybe the internet isn't for you

Maybe Pedlar not currently being part of our best side isn’t rubbish but merely an opinion, and one that is shared by many others. Maybe the internet doesn’t need to be about abusing people for having a difference of opinion. But hey, go for it, other internet stranger, if that’s how you get your kicks.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Pedlar 110% needs a big off-season to start the year in the 23. Same with Milera

As it stands, these are the players that are automatically ahead of each of them:
Pedlar: Rachele, Rankine, Keays, ANB
Milera: Hinge, Cumming, Michalanney, Nankervis

If it was up to me Milera would be ahead of Laird, but I don’t see the coaching staff thinking the same

 

[Golumless]

Thank you for making this abusive and personal. Have you considered that everything wrong in your life is of your own making, unhappy internet stranger?

I look forward to your explanation on how that was abusive and personal.

I'm surprised we've jumped to 8th for average age in 2025.

I like some people's confidence that Murphy won't be selected. We all now that, up until now, he was an automatic selection along with Laird and Crouch. The new players should clearly replace all three but I think Nicks will find it hard to let them go, especially in one fell swoop.
I can live with Crouch being retained if he plays as well as he did when he came back into the side last year. He has a point of difference that I'd like to see in action with Draper and Peatling on the outside.
I think that Murphy is the most vulnerable and he is dispensable, and also easiest to cut, because he is not a club champion or match winner.
But ..... can you actually see Laird, our all-Australian and three time club champion, not being selected, at east at the start of the year? He absolutely deserves to be omitted, especially after some of those obvious soft plays widely circulated from last season, not to mention his lack of leadership in the Rachele issue. And his kicking has been terrible for years, only hidden by being an attacking defender. I know the club did it with club champion and all-Australian Scott Thompson but that was a different time with a different coach.
Look out for at least two of these chaps being in the selection conversation - like it or not.

Crouch is still part of our best midfield, particularly with quicker players around him.

Laird isn't, so I have named him as a defender.

But he’s a rubbish defender. We have better options. He can play SANFL.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Fit and “playing with full confidence” are two different things, especially in Milera’s case. If we can get him playing a consistent patch with confidence then he’s certainly best 22.

We’ve got talent on the list now. Now need to play a guy that is always injured and shirks contact,

 

[Burtonsgottago]

If the decision is Laird or Milera at half back I'm picking Milera.

Shouldn’t be either
