I do love that we're rolling with so many debutants overall.

But I also get a weird twitch in my eye when I see we're debuting 5 players yet Sparrow is still named on the field somehow.
because he runs both ways unlike a lot of our players. He was also top 3 players in both of our practice matches so he's well entrenched in the 22. at least in my view.

He's not wrong though. Same people here asking for Goody to make changes, are the same people whingeing when he makes changes lol. 6 debutants is an interesting move. Let's get behind the lads. Looking forward to watching Lindsay and Langford in particular. I reckon Johnson has cult hero written all over him. Can't see us winning, but f* it would be amazing if we did.
 
Let's go super tall then. Especially in the wet!

Good coaches get the best out of the players that they have.
Part of this is each player having a clear idea of their role in the team.

Pickett aside, I can't think of one of our forwards that have a clear idea of the role assigned to them.
 
Do we overrated the word role too much. Pickett isn't good because he knows his role, the guys just a naturally gifted talent. That's why he looks good at any position he plays. I do agree it's possible that we aren't getting the best out of some of our players, but some just aren't any good.

Tbh I don't think we actually play role players in their actual role - like what is Sparrow doing up forward? What even is Salems role? Why do we have four inside mids?

I will mosey on down tommorow arvo, hopefully we at least kick a few goals, bring back some 2018 stuff, maybe I'll imagine Tommy Bugg is on the field too.

Dees by 21.
 
Jeffo first game! Hopefully the bald jobber does the back up ruck work. Pretty keen to see the first round pick guys out there. Could be a fun game. Here to fanboy the Windsor ascension, see if Goody goes full Bomber Thompson.

We have some guys getting getting later in their careers that I am looking forward to watching for whatever good games they still have in them.

I'm here for bits and pieces, not going to live and die game to game as I haven't since 2021. Like that this is going towards a rebuild and that could be fun.
