The Whispers scored 15 top-ten R&B singles, and 8 top-ten R&B albums with two of them, The Whispers and Love Is Where You Find It, reaching the No. They are best known for their two number one R&B singles, " And the Beat Goes On" in 1980 and " Rock Steady" in 1987. Wingman Hollands, who was taken with Pick 11 in last year’s draft and widely considered the best two-way runner in the class, has barely put a foot wrong all summer, while rebounding defender Cowan, who was taken with Pick 30 in last year’s draft, pushed his Round 1 case over the pre-season as he was consistently named in the Blues’ senior team in match simulation.The Whispers is an American group from Los Angeles, California, who have scored hit records since the late 1960s. Voss remained tight-lipped on whether the Blues would name Tom De Koning and Marc Pittonet to take on Tigers ruckman Toby Nankervis and indicated the club’s ruck selection calls could change by the week depending on their opposition.Ĭarlton this week had already confirmed its top two picks from last year’s draft will debut in Thursday night’s season-opener.īlues coach Michael Voss this week confirmed Ollie Hollands and Lachie Cowan would take on the Tigers. “Same with Jack Martin, he continues to get the work under his belt as well so they will be available and able to play.” “(McGovern will) play, he’s been able to complete a fair bit of work, particularly over the last month and he’s got a couple of games under his belt so he’s ready to go,” Voss said. He caught the eye against the Kangaroos in a practice match, booting two goals and applying great defensive pressure. It’s a particular blow for Jones, who was pushing for an opening-round debut after not playing any senior footy last year. The WESTERN BULLDOGS have also been dealt injury blows ahead of their meeting with the Demons, with small forwards Cody Weightman and Arthur Jones both ruled out due to groin injuries. “We’re going to trial some things … so far we like what we see and they are building a great combination.” They are going to have an impact in a whole range of different areas. I think what we need to be really careful of is to judge purely on scoreboard impact. “It’s going to be different from week to week, they are different ruckmen, they have a different skill set,” he said. But Goodwin was keen not to heighten early expectations for a combination that will “evolve”. The inclusion of two-time Collingwood best and fairest Grundy as a partner for captain Max Gawn has been another pre-season positive for Melbourne. The Sandringham Dragons product, who was taken with Pick 3 by North Melbourne last year, was a standout for the Kangaroos over the summer at both ends of the field, showing terrific forward craft and goal nous inside 50 before displaying great composure, decision-making and polish when deployed across half-back. NORTH MELBOURNE has also confirmed a debutant, with top 2022 draftee Harry Sheezel to play his first AFL game. “When Nic does return we want him to play with the same unique explosiveness and power around the contest that we’ve all come to know and admire about his game,” Bell said. While Naitanui has made “positive progression” from Achilles soreness, according to Eagles football manager Gavin Bell, he won’t face the Roos. Chesser, who was the Eagles’ top 2021 draft pick but didn’t play senior footy last year primarily due to injury, has also put together a strong summer. Ginbey, who was taken by the Eagles with Pick 9 in last year’s draft, showed maturity beyond his years against Adelaide in a practice match, winning a couple of big hard balls in the middle of the ground and not backing down from the contest on his way to 17 disposals, 10 contested possessions, six clearances and five tackles from just 56 per cent game time.
