Round 1 Team Speculation

Football Discussion Dustin Fletcher Hangar

On form and ability, I’m thinking Tsatas should be in the team over Sharp. Even if they are even on form, I think Tsatas has done a power of work on and off the field to earn his spot, or chance at least.

None of us really know exactly his situation, but he has definitely served his penance (last year) and by all reports, he has worked his ass off on his shortfalls i.e. kicking, defensive work and fitness.?

We have now run out of time regarding our No 5 investment. We need to now have a swing with him now and see how he goes. At worst, we need to build some trade capital from him as he could be the third quality player we have lost in as many years due to selection.

Most people have written him off, but I haven’t lost faith (especially as he seems to have taken on bord and has worked on his short cummings)

Be honest and transparent EFC. He was a number 5 pick, why isn’t he getting a go???!!!??? We invested one of our highest picks we have had in several decades for a reason, as he has some SPECIAL qualities and unless we are wrong about him, he is also a very determined and gifted footballer.

The selection of the practice match was either another kick in the guts (despicable) for him, or poorly communicated to us fans who are watching and hoping he succeeds!! Dissapointed either way!!

i know you dont rate him but you cant say gresham has no forward craft. hes kicked over 30 goals a couple of times in a season. I love what im seeing from the huss but if hes unfit I dont think they will play him right away.

I’d love to see Tsatas get a go but Sharp deserves to play round 1 ahead of him

May will play IMO

32

Would love to see May but carrying all of Wright, May, Caddy and Langford in the forward line is too much. Even worse if they play Perkins

He’s kicked over 30 goals twice and that was with st kilda nearly 10 years ago.

He’s as average as they come. I think it says a lot that a first year player in Kako was selected over him last year and now Huss is seemingly ahead of him in the pecking order.

He’ll be delisted at seasons end, there’s not much point in playing him unless we get wiped out by injuries again

He will play if he finds form..I’m happy for him to find it in the vfl

37

I don’t think he will tbh, he’ll only play if there are injuries

Brad loves playing a player as much as possible that’s certain to be delisted at seasons end

He comes in here and makes his decisions just to troll us. Gresham and prior are going to play a lot. Also Jones once healthy
