there was also an article that said we are in the top 3 or so for scoring a goal when the ball enters the fwd 50! Pity we don't get it down there enough to make the most of it.

It's about time Garland started to get ahead, he has been in the system for a very long time. I will believe when he becomes more consistent.One constant theme on this site irritates me, many here continue to excuse our back line for the lack of pressure from our midfield, the back line is made up of some of our most senior players. I expect much more of Frawley and Garland.And don't keep saying our players would be better in a top team, it's a [censored] throw away line.

Where did I say he would be a better player in a good team?

Do tell....

Yeah, we were leading the competition before last week. Adds further credence to the fact that if we improve our midfield, we start to look dangerous with increased forward fifty entrances.

Also saw on the website we are the number one side for contested marks. That has to be a positive?

I reckon this one's misleading as we are continually kicking to packs.

Really? 80 odd games is NOT a very long time. Nick Maxwell: 180 games (alongside Harry O'Brien with 160+). Corey Enright 250 games. Those are senior defenders with a bit of experience, Garland hasn't even played 100 games yet.

Col has been in the system long enough now though, Bing. It's great to see him showing some leadership back there.

Afl site says we are number 1 for contested marks in the league with 70 as well.

Jeremy Howe-69 marks

Max Gawn-1 mark

yeah, if we're able to get a good midfielder in this free agency, and add Hogan into the fwd line, look out! it will take a bit more than that of course for us to become a top team but it would put us in a good position to make our move up the ladder :)

Sure, but easier said than done!

yeah i know. i don't see any reason atm why any big player would want to come to our club unless we hurl a big pricey contract at them. we definitely have talent but not showing anything to entice them across apart from that.

Goodness me!

The players are actually improving under the current coaching regime?

Hold on to your seats boys and girls. Things might be looking up after all.

I think it's actually a good point about the rest of our midfield... It can't only be Jones winning a large amount of clearances, he needs support and has none. If our midfield was three Jones' we'd be doing pretty well.

RGRS' delightfully eccentric lack of ability to form a cohesive sentence threw me a bit

lol..there was absolutely nothing wrong with how he phrased it. Don't blame the object of your smart arse ways when they backfire, C&B. Stay classy.

3 likes for that, you should be on the comedy tour

Sometimes on these forums, I feel like I am already on that tour.

Garlands has had a good start and his last couple of weeks have been especially good. The stats stating his kicking prowess are rubbish though. Although Kennedy beat him, bad match up by our laughable coach, he has shown great intensity in the back line. It shows how meaningless stats are sometimes as his defensive work has been good whilst his generally kicking appears okay. He merely just hits up targets I expect him to hit. Hasn't created outrageous options yet he's the third best kick according to the stats in the league. Stats lie occasionally but he has been very good this year

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
