2024 Training With The Ooze Crew

[No 4]

believe Marlion needs to play the whole season without injury, suspension or dropped for form to get to 100 games. Me thinks the father son ship has sailed.

Marlion has played 76 games thus far, 100 is on the cards.

78, not 76

78. plenty of chances to make 100 this season. he has the 23 H&A games, plus 3 finals, plus the opening round, and the closing round. and the middle round. and the late round. and the early round. and the gather round. and the reach around. and the fool around. ( I may have missed some?)

[Brodders17]

Correct and this was our aim with the class of 2021. All of Gibcus, Brown, Banks, Sonsie and Clarke have very good kicking skills.

Personal view but our kids are under rated outside of the club (and also by a number of our supporters) but we have a number that could be good to very good players,

Agree. Those 5 havent had the chance to really show how good they are yet, mainly because of injury (or size in Clarke's case.) but all have excellent traits. and all will () be very good footballers.

I know a lot has been said about our drafting (and the lack of kids by a couple of vocal posters on here), but over the last 2 drafts I'm very upbeat about most of the below prospects.

Gibcus - Injury allowing will be a gun and a top player for us
Brown - Showed in his 1 game that he has the talent, should add a lot more games this year
Banks - Similar to Brown but with 6 games
Sonsie - We all know of his talent but fitness was an issue and late starts to pre-season obviously the big impact here. Very encouraged by Caesars training reports so far, could be very good to a top player
Clarke - Only just turned 20 - 16 games and has shown his talent but as you say needs a bit of time in the gym
Smith - Injury ruined his 1st season - Looks to be free of that in pre-season
Green - Not sure I see it yet
Campbell - Ditto to Smith

Thats 8 drafted in the ND and RD over the last couple of years and I think all (though I have queries over Steely) could play a big part in our future.

Add to those the MSD recruits in Bauer (we've seen what he can do in the 2's), Tresize (very composed and could play a role in the AFL) and Coulthard (great running patterns, good kick, reckon we'll see a lot more of him this year) and thats 11 players drafted over the last 2 years (only 2 top 20) but most of them have already shown they can play at the AFL level which is a great sign.

Looking forward to see which 3 kids we add to this mix over the next couple of days (maybe 2 and a few train on players)

Personal view but our kids are under rated outside of the club (and also by a number of our supporters) but we have a number that could be good to very good players, its just not enough of them look like elite juniors, which is why I call it a reverse list build. Building the cogs around the engine, that plugging that in last.

I see 2024 as a season thats largely no-lose for us, unless we get some serious injuries amongst the young kids. If we make finals, then it shows that the kids and the new gameplan really work well together. If we finish bottom 5, then we will get a lot of games into these young kids, and add that elite talent through the draft next year.

We know that Gibcus, Cumberland and Sonsie are AFL level, we have seen it. Big 2024's from them would be awesome.
Banks, Brown and Clarke all seem to have the tools to be AFL players, we just need to find out whether they become regulars and the only way to do that is to play them

Add Trezise and Coulthard as MSD selections. Trezise in particular I have a good feeling about as he looked like a 50 game player in his debut. Let's hope he has further development in him.

100 games pfffttt. With all of these extra rounds he'll get a chance to play his 150th next season!

 

[yandb]

Trezise has kicking issues, hopefuly Yze can rectify his technique and he will be a good player.

 

[toothless]

The club will get Marlion to 100 games whether this is 2024 or 2025

Not if he plays like this year again.

 

[Ripplestick]

This stood out at training last week, kicked a couple of dinky kicks to the opposition, under no pressure.

 

[Sintiger]

He still has a certain legal issue that has to be dealt with before thinking about 100 games

 

[No 4]

78, not 76

i was going to type 78 then I saw 76 on this website, not reading the date of post . Even better for him and us.

 

[No 4]

played out of position for most of the year

What is the update on this? Does anyone know?
I looked it up - but beyond the old articles on having been granted bail - I cant really find any more news

 

[Sintiger]

My view is that Marlion is a mid. Not even a winger.
