🆕 on The Shinboner: We are back! And with more than a bit to cover. - A couple notes of caution on Sunday's process - A couple notes of optimism on Sunday's process - A couple individuals highlighted - Setting the scene for short and medium term ↪️ theshinboner.com/2026/03/16/awa…

Didn’t see Luke Parker dominating at half back as a possibility pre-game. Flawless. Well done Kangas! Time to roll these performances out consistently so we can trust this is our new standard.

@Supercoach_DR @SpillsSC Effectively another midfielder, I’d have Trembath take the centre bounce then swap with him as he’s fine around the ground.

@SpillsSC Terrible at CBA mate but did his usual thing around the ground and tackled like a beast. Think he had over 15 CP from memory.

Xerri: 64% TOG, zero hit-outs. Not passing the eye test early, but I’ll take 24 points for that quarter! #Supercoach

I didn’t see Luke Parker becoming Luke Hodge playing half back as working.. but jeez he was good

Can’t help but think of the Freo game at marvel or the pies game where we gave up leads. Need to show grit and come out firing in the the third

@Supercoach_DR He’s now playing CHF 😂

Next week McKercher out due to splinters in his butt sitting on the pine. #supercoach

@ATanti13 @Scobey__ I had him for awhile and he’s one I’ll be watching closely, can’t move McKercher mid though.

@JesseC @Scobey__ Windhager @JesseC

This with more midfield time...📉📉 #SuperCoach

Colby practicing with the mids pre-game

@Luke15613026 It’s very average inside

Judging by the crowds building outside the ground, it looks like it's going to be a pretty good crowd, unless everyone has gotten here all at the same time 🤔

@Cmhaj_ As in you’re sick or nervous about Mitch Georgiadis kicking 14 on us

I feel sick.

Can I rage trade Richards to Bont live

@Scobey__ Didn’t they sign him on for 5 years last year haha

Surely Essendon are just about done with Brad Scott aren't they? #AFLDonsHawks

@Scobey__ I’ve kept him in, can trade out if need be. I think midfield time will be a minimum, pinch hit at most. They’ll give O’Sullivan midfield minutes over him 100%.

#SuperCoach I stand by this, if Kerch plays midfield he's a worse pick than if he's playing half-back with the easy ball. Fascinated to see how this unfolds.

@SC___Scout @JG232_ Ive gone young over JDG my thoughts are that if JDG starts the year on fire I can always bring him in for another mid pricer. I agree though he’s a risk

I owned Ed Richards last year and it wasn’t very fun. 2 60’s in 4 weeks. But surely we aren’t considering De Goey? He’d need to match his career best average just to make 120k and he’s never done enough to be a keeper before. Coming off 69% TOG due to conditioning and that was the saying they played him more than the Pies would’ve liked. 29% CBAs and 3 goals for his 90. Sounds like a Pies fan is in your ear 😉

Hayden Young and Jordan DeGoey V Ed Richards and Rookie Is doing my head in… #SuperCoach

@SupercoachHQ @Supercoach_DR Yep faded Blakiston as well with a plan to get him in if he’s good over next couple weeks

@Supercoach_DR Same here mate, but definitely keeping a spot warm for Blakiston if he’s good tonight!

Held onto Sharp, but decided to fade Blakiston! One of the tougher decisions I’ve had to make this preseason. Hope it’s the right call! Good luck to everyone tonight! #Supercoach 👊

Why not tell us this instead of putting us through so much pain haha

@JG232_ Agreed, think they won' rush him to full game time!

I'm getting increasingly worried that even if Young plays, He could have low TOG with 5 on the bench like Papley/Pendlebury. Freo's weak run featuring Tigers, Dees and Eagles in first 6 games could mean he gets rested. Injury prone and injury affected pre-season... #SuperCoach

@Scobey__ @magicmoments000 @kangamerchant Haha, that's true unfortunately

@JesseC @magicmoments000 @kangamerchant Wardlaw can barely tie his shoelaces without getting injured though

Re-Kerch lots of Talk of mid minutes but remember Rozee has that same role and he looked really good i would love Kerch playing mid with the 666 rule and fast game and then moving to defense, he aint budging from my team until i am forced to trade him out 😂

@magicmoments000 @Scobey__ @kangamerchant I'm fairly confident he'll spend most of his time at half back, especially with Wardlaw due back rnd2. That said he was touted as the best pure Mid in his draft at pick 2, which Is why I want him Mid (for North reasons) the issue is we don't know what that looks like S/C wise.

@Scobey__ @kangamerchant remember he is only 450k your not paying 600k for him
