Tippaz Season Guide 2008

[Brades]

Well I found fault, Adelaide is wrong, Hentschel hasn't played any preseason games and definitely won't be there round 1. Boc played back 50% of the year and John**** wasn't coming on and off the bench, he is one player who barely touches the pine. Also If you'd been watching preseason, Symes was playing through the middle, not HBF.

I didn't read it that way - if it was meant to be round one I think tippaz probably would have left out Hodge Crawford and Lewis from the Hawthorn side. playing through the middle doesn't mean you name Symes at centre does it? Anyway i appreciated the effort that went in.

[Brades]

Ok, Hentschel won't play till about Round 4, or about that.

Symes is playing midfield, thats what i meant, not half back. Vince is playing HFF/Midfield.

Great work Tippaz. Couldn't find any faults with the Port team

Another super guide Tippaz. Hate to think how many hours have been poured into that research. Only query is why Lovett-Murray never got a mention for the Dons. Was on par with Welsh and McPhee for averages in '06 but struggled through injury last year. Has been in solid form pre-season and looks rejuvenated playing up forward whilst still being classified as a back.

Agree about Lovett-Murray - the only issue I have with him is whether he is going to get selected or not...he will play well if he gets the opportunity.

[ALI-G]

Surely Lovett-Murray is in our 22. At his best he's in our top 10 and he appears to be close to it.

Maybe with Sheeds gone there will be a bit more predictability. I think Essendon have a very talented list this year, and there is no doubt NLM is in the top 22 if he applies himself. Not sure about top ten. But I think he will definitely be in for round 1 following his pre-season form (he had better be!).
Do you think Jetta will be in for rd 1?

[ALI-G]

Jetta may get a run since Winderlich is out injured. Probably depends on what Knighter intends to do with JJ and Pev. I think Reimers may be favoured as the 2nd small forward ahead of jetta.
