A ruckman is an absolute must. Would be straight up list management negligence to go in to next year with Max, Schache, Verrall and not a genuine back up ruck.

Key forward should be a must, but I’m wondering if they address it with train on players rather than making a move. Give me the 3 best delisted/state leaguers/overlooked kids and let them battle it out over summer.

The draft has always made sense for mids and runners apart from 1-2 cheap back ups if they fit just to fill the list turnover.

Need a good ruck/forward. Don’t ever want to see JVR in the centre square again ever!!

You don’t get Winx to pull a plough in the paddock.

    Operation 'Get Levi'.

    Who's down for it?

    AFL 2022 | Gold Coast Suns' Levi Casboult on his move from Carlton | CODE Sports

    Needs one of DL's photoshoppers for your campaign, BD. And, with that 'development', perhaps in one of the women's DC Comic long-sleevers?

    (Fun aside, I guess he could be a Pedersen-level contributor? Better than a nothing option if that's where the choice ends up. Injury susceptibility, though?)

    Played 41 of possible 45 games for the Suns over 2022/23 so durability is in his favour. Pretty good no frills option I reckon. Good ruck chop out, too.

    We would be paying $500,000 a year for 5 years for pick 4.

    I still hold hopes that we can get Swans pick 11.  Without Grundy they are stuffed and there are no other elite rucks available.  Obviously a pick goes back to them.

    You don't need an elite ruck. We are blessed with Gawn but a competitor like Jamar or Nankervis or McInerny would suffice. Arguably our trying to fit others around our gawn game plan has cost us in the past couple of years.

    Did I read Matt Flynn, the second ruck from GWS is talking to us?

    Would make sense...

    Casboult re-signed with GCS months ago. If you’re going to go to the effort of posting pictures of players you might want to first google their contract situation.

    So by this reckoning Grundy and Mabior Chol are simply off discussion on this forum because they still have years left on their contracts?

    Read like we’ve asked but he seems a longer way down the track with WC. They’ve probably given him an indication that he’ll get a good look at more regular game time.

    Especially if Williams will be deployed up forward more often than not.

    Oh I’m sorry I wasn’t aware that all player contracts are unalterable and fully binding and that players are no longer allowed to leave for other clubs mid contract. That’s a new situation in the AFL I wasn’t aware of thanks for the update.

    That might be too much logic for a few of them to handle in one post Dazzle. Ease it back a bit 😉

    It’s a cut price potential option in a shallow market. Ideally I’d like Tom Lynch but you’ve got to look at alternatives. Casboult would offer more than TMac and BBB. 

    Not every player in a premiership winning 22 is vying for a spot in the All Australian side. Put forward your idea/s if you’ve got something better or more interesting. Easy to pot shot, harder to come up with solutions.

    Mid contract. Players who've recently re-signed aren't leaving.

    Nice out of the box thinking. Even Cales brother Mitch is a discard and then premiership player. Anyway, if you were to think that Levi was the elixir for all your premiership contending ailments, at any time, you’d be deemed crazy. 
     

    this thread is a great opportunity to whittle away some hours while your life is passing you by. And rather than take a pot shot, I’d rather the current incumbents than Levi. They know the system, they know their teammates and most importantly they probably won’t be playing unless there is an injury glut.

    Just like an instagram influencer, this thread is brave and stunning. 🤩

    Thanks for that truly shocking epiphany.

     

    Didn't work, though, it seems... 😕

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
