Touk pushing hard for a Round 1 spot. Great pressure acts and working hard!

Love the way he goes about his footy. Really hoping he plays round 1 and avoids the vest.

[Ricochet]

Only concern for Tuok is if he gets named round 1 and Ablett doesn't. Means that GAJ and Jaeger come back into the side and could push him out RD2-3

I was thinking the same thing originally but Hall and Sumner played a lot of games in that small forward role last season which means he could get games. However I think I forgot that Martin got injured in round 1 last year which probably resulted in this happening

Good point Rico

Def something to keep at the back of our minds

Are there others that would go before Touk?

[Mat0369]

Just quickly looking at the GC best 22

Broughton May Lemmons/Saad
Cannon Thompson Malcho
Harbrow Gaz O'Meara
Bennell Lynch Matera
Day Dixon Martin
Smith Prestia Swallow
Rischa KKolo Stanley Sub (Hallahan?)

Nicholls will be in while Dixon is out injured as the resting ruck.

Jaeger I would say highly unlikely to play round one. Would they risk him round 2 based on his pre-season.

I would say if he is right for round 2 he would likely play in the NEAFL - they play St Kilda in Round 2 - a game they should win so no need to rush him in.

And then they play the Cats round 3 in Geelong. The Suns would want him cherry ripe for that game.

Should give Touk a couple of weeks (v Melbourne and St Kilda) to put in decent performances to cement his spot for round 3 and at least get one decent cash rise.

Is this wishful thinking? The kid is talented and I want to see him in the suns side.

[sammy123]

He had played well. He at least should get a shot rd 1

"Saad and Miller continued their strong pre-seasons and Eade said they would be there against the Demons."

If they play and GAJ and O'meara are also named then lock them in! If they play and those two aren't named... well then it get interesting.

Kamdyn McInthosh. Is he a chance for round 1, or is he rookie listed?

[Bully]

Not rookie listed and is playing some excellent footy. Could be an ideal D8.

Yep and an alternative to Saad if there is any doubt with him
