Re: Practice matches
Phillipou and Van Es are the most likely, Hotton a chance depending on training performance..I really like Keeler but maybe a bit soon!
Van Es impressive on Friday, big boy already but also quick and agile!

Re: Practice matches
It would be great to see Max Heath (moose) at the top level. Hopefully Oscar Adams can get over his back issues, as I would like to see how he stands up? His niggling injuries have slowed his development so hopefully he can get a clear run.
Plus this years draft crop and Eyre, Stocker or Stack if they added to the list.

Re: Practice matches
Van Es has spent the last 2 years focussing on defensive skills and has done a cracker of a job as a defender.
Nonetheless, in the current situation it cannot be ignored that he is a big, quick, agile marking machine, who should have a handy lead, at sub 3 sec 20m and can leap from behind, weighs enough to stand his ground and can close ground quickly. If he can perform repeat efforts then you spend a year developing him forward and test if big enough, is good enough?

We may as well, we put Max King in there with a lot less kilos.Rubyjo wrote: ↑Sun 11 Dec 2022 7:49pmYep Play Him in Max Kings spot ..CQ SAINT wrote: ↑Sun 11 Dec 2022 6:03pm Van Es has spent the last 2 years focussing on defensive skills and has done a cracker of a job as a defender.
