I like what I see so far this preseason.
Cunningham has had a very good preseason and he brought his kicking boots today. Lock for round 1.
Our undersized defenders played very well against a tall and high quality forward line. Melican was great. He's heading for an AA playing level in the not too distant future.
Prefer Florent to Hayward so far this preseason, but I think Hayward had some interruption to his training. He still has trouble sticking tackles. I'm sure he'll come along fine.
Agree that Cameron still has a way to go to be an AFL ruckman. We got smashed in the hitouts, but nonetheless won the centre clearances. It was not at all evident that we were being hurt by losing the ruck contests. I think Towers is our best ruckman and should be given the round 1 job with big minutes from Aliir to help out. He doesn't win the hitouts, but his second efforts are good and we seem to come out of the ruck contests doing alright. I'm pretty sure Sinclair will be given first crack if his ankle is okay.
