Yeah for sure. So with all that info, this is how it stands as of now. Might change though. Been such a unpredictable and exciting pre-season. Haven't looked forward to a season so much in years.

LH I wont get to many games this year. Can you get in the ear of someone at Subi to give Wortho a shot at Full Forward? I am convinced he could pull that off, now (sadly) Broady has gone, why not? I always felt Worthington seemed out of position? I dunno, he looks good on the ground, just hasnt seemed to be able to take the step... Am I right? I'd llove to see him make it.

I guess it could be worth a shot mate but he's only 5ft11 and a half.

I do agree though that he's more of a forward of centre player.

Same with Joey Daye. I wish they'd give him a shot on a half forward flank or on a wing for some matches. He could be very dangerous up forward of centre.

Ah, I thought he was taller. Yeah, he isnt built like a key position player. Foward flank. I agree Daye would be good on a wing

Righto, that should be it then.

A big clean out of 29 and many of them overdue.We will miss Blech and Broady but hopefully they return next year.Joyce is another big loss and I also had a bit of time for Muller and Lofthouse.Apart from that,the others were too old or not good enough.Of the replacements,the best of the recruits at this stage look like being Kayler-Thompson,Gum and Daniels.Some of the colts from last year also look good such as Wohling,Featherstonaugh,Halligan and Clarke.Interesting that Subi recruited a 5 point player from Tassie in Brad Mcdonald.Played 21 tmes for Penguin last year and featured in their best top 3 players on 13 occasions.Not sure how strong that league is.Visited Penguin in January on holidays and it is not a very big town so heres hoping he goes okay today against the Tigers.

Did I read correctly that Nathan Phillips is at an amateur club? Uni or TA I think???

He played ressies on saturday night against Claremont and did pretty well too. I was also impressed with Stevenson and Worthington...reckon they'll give us something up forward when both back to full fitness.
