I think you will find there will be plenty of height in the reserves.
Lukac, Cooke, Sladojevic, Oscar Pearce, Niemann, Jack Wheare, Weckert, Ryan Williams and Liam Ueding also possibly Ryan Bruce and Jack Firns.

U mentioned Niemann and Oscar Pearce they'd be overaged almost so who else has overaged bar Mair and Fairall though Weckert and Toole would be too

In the ins and outs no McFarlane Phillips Lehmann yet but wonder if Phillips is training for a spot on the list unless he's gone. When Jordan West left it wasn't in the ins and outs. Zac had a long term injury as well.

Forgot Josh Mawson. Replace Barkla with Mawson.

Has Phillips finished with us?? Only asking as his height wasn't mentioned yesterday and he's tall re reserves

by wimpy Sun Nov 26, 2023 12:30 pm

Another go at a possible Team:

Josh Morris......Jack Boyd......Perace

Rowe..............Ballenden.......Menzel

Luke McKay........Knight..............Herbert

Beecken.......Thompson......Cam Fleeton

Litster.............Lehmann.......Rowland

RUCK: Brinker-Ritchie, D'Aloia, Sinor

INTER (no particular order): Goldy, Buck, Mawson, Williams, Cooke, Jordan Moore, Nathan Barkla, Nichols, Dawkins, Weckert, Bruce, Firns, Comma, Watson, Oscar Pearce, Callum Fairall, McFarlane.

I think there are plenty of options to go tall or small.
Just a little thin in the mid field.

With that large Interchange Bench thought you could have included Sauce. Notice you didn’t mention Lukac either.

If we've lost Lehmann, McFarlane and Phillips maybe other recruis will come in. Though Phillips is injury prone the season that has just gone. McFarlane should be back in round 1 or so. That's if all 3 are still around

by wimpy Sun Nov 26, 2023 2:14 pm

Lukac should be in there. My understanding is that management have said no more recruits. I feel this is sensible ultimately we have to develop from within and leave positions up for grabs to encourage the younger ones.

Thankyou but be nice to get some answers re if McFarlane, Lehmann and Phillips are playing on or have left. I've noticed no one but myself has mentioned Phillips on here recently.

Have spoken to Dane at training. The final 52/54 cut won't be made for some time. A lot more preseason to go before Jacobs makes the cut.

Has Phillips been training or has he left?? And who's the midfield coach as I've heard his first name but not surname through a family member who met him the other week. The family member never found out his surname but met him at a party with the midfield coaches young daughter or son

by The Barton Sun Nov 26, 2023 10:50 pm

Zac Phillips been travelling the country in the off-season. I don’t know where he’s playing next year.

by 35Eagles Mon Nov 27, 2023 1:50 am

Yes wad known that his partner and him were on holidays but thought Wimpy might know the answer as he's been at training or helping out at training
.

by 35Eagles Mon Nov 27, 2023 4:33 am

A handful missed club champion night due to being on holidays or went home sk i thought that Wimpy might know if he's back or not. It doesn't hurt to ask. Hasn't been a single mention about him on here bar me.

by 35Eagles Mon Nov 27, 2023 4:43 am

BTW if anyone is wondering I'm up early typing its that i'm watching the tennis on TV as i love my sport.

Saw it on Facebook he’s been in and out of hospital at home under nurses care while they wait on tests to show which antibiotics will fix him up . His knee got to the size of a water melon .
Long story knee stitched up in Bali then swimming in the Murray with open cut

With a great group of recruits this year, does anyone know where we are at with the salary cap?
We don’t want to go where the perennial salary cap cheats Norwood go!

I think we should be OK. A slight increase in the cap this year.
With Collier-Dawkins, Clay Cameron, Mitch Hardie, Jimmy Toumpas, Jesse Lonergan, Dan Menzel and Kai Pudney all gone I think this would have opened up a fair bit of space.

Don't forget our very hands on president is a qualified accountant and would be all over it.
