.@Red_and_Blue26 It'll be touch and go to have all three, all in different phases of their training, hope to have them all in at some point.


[In Reply To: g'day roosy. Exactly how good is Viv Michie going to be??]
AFL ‏@AFL  1m
.@LukePGavin Viv's a young player still learning, but has some real tools for AFL footy, I'm looking forward to seeing him in NAB Challenge.


[In Reply To: Hey Roosy! Can we expect Harmes or Georgiou to be elevated now that Riley is on the LTI?]
AFL ‏@AFL  59s
.@Red_and_Blue26 NAB Challenge is important for all players to put their hand up for round one #AskTheCoach


[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?]
AFL ‏@AFL  22s
.@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  7s
.@JyeHeytman Jack is certainly starting to show he's adapting well to the midfield, his speed and ball use at training has been excellent.


[In Reply To: Hi Paul, what can we expect from Sam Blease in 2014. A mountain of talent, but yet to see on a consistent basis ]
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.


[In Reply To: what are the chances of toumpas becoming that weapon we need off half back with his elite disposal? ]
AFL ‏@AFL  21s
.@hemsy82 Jimmy is a very good decision maker, and that is a role he could possibly fill during the year #askthecoach


[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.

Dom Tyson gets a huge boost but michie not so much

Maybe a straight swap for each

[pommyadam]

Grimey in defence doesn't look too attractive either

hmmm... decisions to be made, matches to monitor

[ScreechRoo]

just Cross'd Jack Grimes off my watchlist

[starz]

i reckon grimes playing back is a blessing in disguise. in the midfield he is often used as a tagger but in defence he is ussually much more consisten and can rack em up.

Roos is making the Demons a tough team to make ANY picks from.  :'(

I don't know. I'm pretty comfortable with having Tyson in my team.

[Noz]

Ah i really want to pick Jack Watts but at the same time i really don't want to pick Jack Watts

+1 I agree here mate! Still don't think I'll be able to fit him in.

Tyson has shot up my watchlist though, not much else to see here for me though

This is where he scores best  :)  re- Grimes
