Might just sidetrack thread with the above details, and wonder how long it might be before we see such changes during H&A season, even if brought in for finals?

Now that we have changed dickhead AFL CEOs, then perhaps things might actually move forward?

Wasn't obvious and kept crashing during the 1st 3rd but came good.
Watched a bit of it, decent hit out.

Due to a medical appointment I only caught the last ten minutes of the game
I would be very interested in people’s opinions on who they thought stood-out and who struggled in the hit-out

[Pies2016]

News reports are saying DeGoey and MacRae both stood out. That’s all I got.

Fin McCrae -De Goey-Bobby Hill & Lache Sullivan
Oh and bit fwd 50 plus mid midfield McCreery too

[lazzadesilva]

Very impressed by JDG, Hill, Allan and Sullivan. Collingwood have to get Sullivan onto their list. He seems to be a very good player.

[BazBoy]

Thought,s on who of the players vying for a spot
I’m big on Lachie Sullivan getting one of them

I only managed to see about half the game, so my observations may be off the mark.
That said, to my mind the stand outs were JDG, Macrae and Hill. I was a tad disappointed that Reef did not have a bigger impact, but Krueger and Ash looked quite good.
Allan really needs to step up if he is to get any senior time soon. Cameron is easily our best big man, and looks set for a stand out season. McCreery is still learning his midfield craft, as he struggled to find much of the ball.
I also liked the look of Sullivan, Steene and Dean.
Fwiw, I reckon Lipinski will be one of our big improvers in 2024. He looks the fittest he's been, and has apparently been focusing on playing with more physicality - an aspect which has let him down somewhat while being conscious of the fragility of his shoulders. He looks like he has regained full confidence in his body. He is a deceptively classy player.

Overall, the boys all looked sharp and keen to impress.
