A couple from left field

[Doggoneit]

Goodes has an exactly 1.7% chance of playing more than 3 senior games this season. He wasn't injured, it just made no sense to play him instead of JJ/Darley and now Hunter and Biggs.

I disagree MM

someone will need to go onto the LTI list first but, he is a mature body and played pure midfield in the VFL last year.

We have just lost Griff, Coons (and missy) - two(three) hardened afl bodies and will need to replace them with young guys
if the likes of Boyd, Wallis, Stevens go down Goodsey is a good chance of coming in to play midfield

my sources tell me he has slimmed down and has been one of the better performers at training, and he is training with the mids not the defenders

instead of Goodes though - IMO, L Jong is a big chance to get game time was upgraded off the rookie list this year- might just go bang!!

What if I told you that Zac Dawson was tearing the house down and was training with the midfield group?

take or leave it - just giving my opinion of why he might be a good chance to get games.

Sorry mate, just feel like a player training the house down in the pre season doesn't mean that much.

all good - and understand the "training house down" issue

fwiw - source is not media related, actually from people who have attended several training sessions; so in effect its their opinion about the quality but fact about which group he is training with.

Agree with the training the house down thing.

But an insight into where a player might be playing is a great insight, especially before the nab cup when we're mostly guessing.

Goodes plays in the midfield in the VFL so it makes sense for him to train there.

Crameri and Stringer have both been training majority midfield so if we need a big body in the middle there's the answer. Not Goodes.
