quinny i think Simmo could have a really good year under Bolton's positive attitude

an interesting thought process for me i think there is a good chance Dea, Brown, Hartley and Tippa could all play round one for Essendon if they do would you consider picking all 4 with 2 on the bench

Has been training with the mid group and is running pb time trials at 31! Have a read:

" Kade Simpson, 31, is running personal best times and says he has enjoyed his best pre-season since his mid-20s. The defender, who will be out of contract at season’s end, says he is in the best shape he has been for four or five years and has barely missed a training session."

Kade will be a good pick up some time during the year after he gets a run of 60-70s and cheapens up.

1 of only about 3 defenders that you can safely rely on playing every game and averaging 90+ So I'm starting him

Can't fault you there.  I always end up getting him at some stage. I always get caught up thinking he can't keep going, he's too old and Carlton are blooding rookies.  Age is just a number.  He'll be a stalwart again no doubt.

Like Docherty instead. Think he may be the up and comer and that he'll improve his SC average again this season and become a top 8 defender. Hope I'm not indulging in wishful thinking but time will tell. Cheers.
