We got Dunkley when we could have got Pickett? Bloody hell.

And so could possibly 16 other teams too. An inexact art / science is recruiting

Pickett coming to a club that plays with no purpose would not have helped him.

I wonder if Goody and Co were watching and thinking "we are no wear near this level"?

Small Forwards, pace, foot skills and turnover pressure, is all he should be thinking about over the break and pre season.

All we need is

A home ground

A dynamic president

Recruiters with a vision

A development program

A skilled coach

A club culture

A dozen or so extra top line players.

Sounds like the exact opposite to where we've been heading doesn't it

Would have to have been one of the most boring GF's after quarter time.

Sure they have a lot of talent, but GWS remain a cultureless franchise.

Just heading home after a thoroughly un entertaining game.  Tigers now with 12 premierships, equal with us.  The best team over the last 12 weeks won this day, deservedly so.  Regardless it was dullsville at the G and not representative of a great season. A pity for us neutrals.

Hopefully the Storm can roll the Cronksters tonight...

You outrage everything

You and WiseBlood

My Outrage is how pathetic my club is

It’s all too hard. 

Mid you knew what I have been through in 56 years, then you would understand why 

But I know that would be beneath you....

Saw our game in Perth in round 9. We put in a good show for over half the game but as you say when WC went up a gear it was all just too hard for us. We more already less gave up the season then and there,  That game summed up our whole shocker of a season.

Might have helped if Goodwin reviewed the preliminary and gave them some direction.

Many ways are learned through many years. Call it experience.

Richmond finished last year exactly the same as we did. 

It’s all just too hard, when it counts

That Round 9 game was our best performance for the year. The peak. 

collapsed after that

It would take a dull brain to not see what it takes to win a flag and not compare where we are to where we need to get to. Each to there own though, ignorance and denial helps some sooth the pain.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
