Who do you think is better freeze, Paparone or Howson?

Symonds will only improve and young talls in Mack Byron-Pendergast, Richard Wallis and Andrew Stokes can spend 2013 developing in the reserves.

Brown's availabilty is always the key for EF, he is the only fella up back, now with Weller retired, who can take on the big bulky key forwards. Without him the likes of Howlett and Doddy are just a shade too small, whilst young tall defenders in Chalwell and Jupp are too inexperienced....they need to be on developing their wares on the oppositions 3rd tall forward.

Mids are dime a dozen at this club, lots of good experienced options in Hadley, McGough, ROB and Dalziell to call upon, plus developing youngsters in Henson, Boyle, Tropiano and Hancock......plus the likes of Sheppard, Menagola, Sutcliffe Simpson will play some WAFL to.

Small forwards EF have the likes of BOB, Waight, Leslie,Cooyou, Curley and AFL listed boys in Duffy and Dick to keep the opposition backs busy....will be very surprised if Duffy and Dick are away at the same time playing AFL.

Perham, Howson and Young will be EF tall forward options up front, unless a last minute recruit turns up.....any injuries though and EF could be buggered tall men wise up front....Youngie is always our swingman, would love to see him in one position 90% of the time and switch if and when the situation arises.

Gotta feeling reserves wise EF may come back to the pack though, saying that there were some half decent colts boys in Fannon, Dorotich, Wallis, Schleicher, Stokes, Dennis, Bowey etc who will move out of the juniors.

2013 EF will be ok, it's 2014 that will be a big concern for EF.

sure our 2014 side will not be as strong as 2013...but my side posted here will be no walkovers in 2014
it has been mentioned many a time that sometimes we are better off without having so many afl listed players...sure in 2014 we wont have any but me thinks the recruiting has already started for 2014

Is Scott Jansen big enough to be a CHB or FB?. Did some good things in the games he played at the end of the season.

Scott for me is not big enough to be a CHB or FB, but very handy on the next size down. Keep an eye out for his younger brother Jarrod in the colts...the kid goes very well.

Paparone is a gun and yes better than Howsen. Runs a 3km in 10:30 and does a 15 beep test...not bad for a 6'5" KP player. Does need to bulk up a bit but that will happen.

Bloody hell, with stats like that surely he's a monty to goto the AFL in the next 1-2 years?

Paperone was drafted by Brisbane in the recent AFL draft!

At this stage Paparone is ahead of Howson but I reckon they will both turn out to be very good players for Brisbane and Fremantle respectively.

58shark on top of things quite clearly.
