    You don't want your consciousness downloaded into RWO posthumously?
    We'll probably need Agent Smith as a moderator though

      That's a pretty good wrap too.
      But I thought Rowell's start last year was the most impressive I've ever seen; and I was around for Carl Ditterich's first year , too.
      Anyway, I'll be watching Braeden Campbell with a fair degree of excitement.
      2121 could be a fun year, let's hope so.
      If Rowell had played out the season, I reckon he would have given the Brownlow a shake. Phenomenal debut....I was pretty disappointed when he got injured.

        Rowell has the best first season since Judd; so unlikely, but if it happens great.

        What we do know is he’s an elite kick. I remember listening to (from memory, but can’t be certain) Dunstall saying he’s the best field kick to enter the AFL in a decade.

        If that’s the case and he learns to play AFL standard football, then him running around alongside McInerney, Blakey, Stephens, Dawson and if they get there Ling and Gould, offers the prospect of a good time better than what was on offer at the corner tables at Jackson’s on George in the 1990s.
        'Delicious' is a fun word to say

          The source is clearly Kevin Sheehan.

          I’d have no problems if Campbell only got 6 Brownlow votes across his first 4 games.

          A lot to be excited about in 2021

            I’ve done that half a dozen times this year. Sorry, guys.

              Hope this bloke and my fellow RWOers are right.

                Surely some mistake, I thought we’d agreed on RWO that RB’s barely best 22?

                  If R1 was next week, this would be my team. Assumptions made: Rampe and Cunningham fit, others who didn't play not or in reserves
                  B Rampe Melican Cunningham (Ling if not fit)
                  HB Lloyd McCartin Dawson
                  C Blakey Mills Florent
                  HF Gulden McDonald Heeney
                  F Papley Reid Hayward
                  Foll Hickey Parker Kennedy
                  Int: Fox Rowbottom Campbell Bell

                  Ling, Gould, Warner, Sinclair, Wicks, Amartey played today.

                  McLean, O'Connor, Sheather, Carruthers, Taylor, Ronke, Clarke, Gray, COR maybe in reserves?

                  Rampe, Franklin, Cunningham, McInerney, Hewett, Stephens, Naismith, Brand rested / injured?

                    I know injuries and form can sort this over a season, but isn’t it nice to look at that side and go I think Stephens, McInerney and Wicks would be in my side if they are fit. And that’s before we get to Hewett or one or two of the others that can clearly play a role.

                    Our rebuild and depth still has a bit to go, but we are getting there.

                      My Rd 1 team would be something like the following

                      B - Cunningham, Rampe, Melican
                      HB - Lloyd, McCartin, Dawson
                      C - Florent, Kennedy, Blakey
                      HF - Heeney, Reid, Gulden
                      F - Papley, Sinclair, Hayward
                      Foll - Hickey, Parker, Mills

                      Interchange - Bell, Warner, McInerney (if fit), one of Fox or Ling

                      Logan McDonald showed some good signs in the wet but he doesnt look big enough or strong enough just yet. Cant see him being rushed in. Will play plenty of senior footy in 2021 but perhaps after he has a few VFL games under his belt. Same goes for Campbell. McInerney played in the reserves team today which means he is back at a decent level of participation. Ling and Fox play the same role, splitting hairs between them atm.

                      Stephens, Rowbottom, Hewett, McLean, Wicks pretty good depth.

                                Stephens is a lock. No way he won't be in Rd 1 team if fit.
