really? ok well his reel is bloody promising, and yes noble will take a lot of beating.

At least we've finally added some indigenous talent to the list. That's a big positive for me.

Still I'd like to see us get to a point in the very near future whereby we have at least 3 indigenous players on our list every season.

Anyway welcome Ash.

Now go out and stand on some Carlton heads.

I herd this in the interview. It looks like we are building a team of defenders. Would suit our game plan.

^^^^

Not quite accurate. This was one of 3 or 4 positions Hine suggested in an off the cuff interview, due to his flexibility and ability to play a few on field positions. Hine also said that he possessed good speed which was also a factor in his recruitment.

Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

Keep him at FF or CHF for FFS
If we recruited Peter Hudson, we would find a way to play him away from the sticks.
I liked Callow before he was grabbed by Hawthorn, he is another Hawkins type, big strong and has a role to play, none of this "Where can we play him?"

Johnson will have to get used to the players in the team and the non-game plan.
Maybe he can learn to kick backwards too, lol.

That was one small part of the interview: He said he can be a matchwinner too which he's showed already in some matches this year. The reference to playing behind the ball was that has has (potentially) many attributes.

Watching his highlights I actually thought Howe 2.0...
