Ramifications of Goodwin not playing players, that IMO deserved a better go. Disappointed to see him go, Goody can’t keep playing favourites 

Well he is apparently giving an extra year to two favourites.

Any chance for a last minute pitch to Bobby Hill?? 😅

A bit of a positive conspiracy theory...

- Toby wants more opporunity
- Rumours about Kozzy and Port
- Toby lives with Kozzy
- Toby has requested a trade

🤔

I thought Kozzie lived with Rivers and Jacko.

Yeah more of a comment in jest as they are some what of a like for like

I like Chandler but I’d like to get Henry from Freo if there’s any possibility to be included in the Jackson trade

Seeing ANB come 8th in the B&F this year, would be enough to make anyone competing for his position want to depart. 
 

Yep

Staggering we even offered him a 3 year deal when you consider someone like ANB is highly rated by Goody??? Whose spot do they project Bedford to even take!

I thought it was Koz, Toby and Dogga in a house together?

Just remembered reading that it might actually be Trac, Toby and Kozzy as of last year?

id much prefer Henry,  i just think Hill looks lazy and not up to the level.  and who knows that could be because he hasnt been happy in syd.

Henry hasn't made the level yet either but is that year younger.   But was a pick 9 and a WA boy, can't see them letting him go

Trac has his own place,  Defs Koz, Toby and Dogga. thought rivers might be there too but maybe not

No idea, but found this from late last year:

"Pickett lives in a Melbourne house with Petracca, Toby Bedford and Charlie Spargo."

Tbh I haven’t seen a lot of Hill but who knows what could happen with a change of scenery, chances are he goes to Collingwood and dominates similarly to Stengle (albeit very different situations)

Same with Henry, hasn’t shown a massive amount at Freo but if he’s exploring his options I think we’d be silly not to at least put the feelers out

But an absolute waste from an MFC perspective. Develop him up for a few years, to then not give him a decent opportunity when he is ready for AFL is a real head scratcher for me. 
 

Totally agree, but think of the upside we gained.    :-  ANB was able to rack up more of those all important and valuable ‘Pressure Act’ ranking points.

If I had to pick one of Bedford and Chandler to keep, I'd be keeping Bedford.

However, I don't think either of them have been that good so far. I don't think we under-played him, as I don't think his form ever really warranted more games. So if GWS have convinced him he's going to get more games up there, so be it. All the best to him.

Based on the VFL grand final, Chandler has the desire and consistency to make it at AFL level. Better all round player, whereas Bedford had moments of brilliance. We have that in Kozzy, so it makes sense to go with Chandler. If Kozzy leaves, that’s a disaster

Here's a recent one from this year...

[Jaded No More 55,321]

It’s a disappointing result for mine, but one I completely understand. You can’t continue to not reward players. He’s certainly good enough to play senior footy and yet we gave him a 7 week run as a sub with 10 active minutes on the field. 
Deserves better.

I would rather keep him than Melksham for another year, but I understand these aren’t really the choices we make.

Give me Trac, Oliver and Gawn and I'd give the top 4 a fair shake as coach
