As expected, he is behind Brown in the pecking order for defenders.
Appears so.

Why don’t we try the Trestle up on the wing. Played as a mid as a junior, has a big enough tank. Big. Tough. Kicking…meh. But still prefer over Banks as a player.

Buckle up folks, we are in for some losses

Would love to see Naismith and MRJ kick some ass
I don't mind Carts. At best we can make finals and see how far we go, at worst we finish low and Ooze can assess what's needed for the future.

We're only three months older per man than the Suns. And 9 games less experienced.

Surprised Jed Walter wasn't picked. Is he injured? None of the other brand new toys either.

Busted collarbone I think?

Really? I like the kid but he didn’t start either of the practice matches and reports from preseason were underwhelming. I don’t think it should be a surprise to anyone.

His preseason was pretty good. And he had a good game the other week v Pies 3 goals and 3 goal assists, so it is a little surprising especially when Junior comes in with his average preseason, same with Ryan, and Banks too if we are basing it on preseason form or praccy games.

Making it up, you haven't seen the video we're he has admitted openly things he needs to work on ?.

It's not by luck now that now 3 coaches have ignored his talent for certain reasons. Ask yourself why . I think you're making the bs up.

Huh, 3 coaches Mini was a Dimma clone doesn't count, he literally changed nothing, brought nothing new to the table and that's why he is now gone.
Cumbo, I saw the interview what did u expect him to say, bag out his former coach and by the way it was based on his 2023 season (not 2024) the things he was asked to work on by Dimma and his sidekick mini. That video was from early to mid-Dec

He’s injured. Broken collarbone recovery.

Not sure what other options we really have.

Nank, Martin, Lynch and Graham all would have been playing if fit.

We have debuted a kid and playing 2 other players from other clubs.

I get the MRJ debate. I would have preferred Lefau but he is seen at this stage more as KPP.

I don’t get the Cumberland outcry. He has had a poor period after Christmas. He has been overlooked by 3 coaches. He has the talent but the issues are all above the shoulder.

I will be more interested to see how we go selection wise post this game with potentially 3 big names coming back into the team.
I am not arguing for his selection - but what has been his poor period? Are there examples of this body language etc in the matches since Christmas? I am not saying he cannot improve everywhere, but they all can.
I feel he is judged harshly with that stuff, but yeah the coaches don’t want him in yet so fair enough - but maybe it’s performance based and wanting to have a look at SethCampbell and MJR.
Cumbo chance coming again.

I thought Banks first half against Melbourne was ordinary with some improvement later in game, so am surprised by his inclusion but I reckon Yze just wants to give these blokes their chance

Personally, I'm very happy with the Maurice Jnr selection, humid conditions would not be foreign at all to a Tiwi lad.

Hope he goes well, looking for 1 goal, 4 tackles and 10 touches.

It’s weird

I kinda know we’re *smile* now but I’m hopeful

Like watching M Pickering run out in the early 90s

*smile* Carter we ain’t that bad!

If you’re heading up there Aces, a couple of insights into how we’re setting up tactically would be much appreciated!

I’m fascinated with Yze’s mind, he comes with big wraps

If it’s like this tomorrow conditions will be perfect. Slight cool breeze. Ground is in ripping conditions.
