[In Reply To: will Co-Captain Grimes be used primarily in the midfield or off the back flank?]
AFL ‏@AFL  2m
@AFLDreamers I'd love to settle Jack in defence primarily, but he's certainly one that we can throw through the middle at times #askthecoach


[In Reply To: Dom Tyson looks like a future star - what sort of role has been earmarked for him this season?]

.@JBsauce We see Dom as being one of our key mids, and in last week's match simulation, he showed some of the class that he was drafted with


[In Reply To: How's Jack Watts looking on the track? Is he adapting to life in the midfield and will he still push forward?]

AFL ‏@AFL  32s
.@JRickard1991 I've seen Sam's talent at training, and he's working extremely hard on his consistency. Looking forward to seeing him play.

AFL ‏@AFL  21s

[In Reply To:  how far is Garland and is the break going to have a huge effect? Please keep drawled away from Adelaide recruiters!! ]
AFL ‏@AFL  1m
.@bmoliver74 Garland's recovered well from his operation, and he'll be touch and go for round one. Certainly hope that Frawley stays.

Interesting that he sees Tyson as being one of the 'key mids'. Definitely keeping an eye on him in the NAB Challenge now
