Unfortunate for Tayla and if the team did  make it through to a top 4 finish you’d love to have her out there. But in what is shaping as a bit of a rebuild year it might not be so bad to get games in to some of the young talls or even go a little smaller and more mobile.

The output often hasn’t matched the reputation with Tay tay

She's been excellent. 

huge loss for the season. i hope she can fully recover. 

And i wouldn't mind if she gave the boxing away and focussed exclusively on footy. return to boxing post footy

Let’s make sure we keep in touch with her throughout the surgery.

 

As Andy would say “Too soon?”

No surprise. Didn't do a preseason. And chose a Nike sponsored trip to the Paris Olympics over her teammates.

If she wants to be a professional footballer, she should start acting like one

I didn't know this. Not a good look but according to the article was signed off by the club.

The list seems a little top heavy to Meggs.  Especially now we've lost speedster Aimee Mackin and gun mid Liv Purcell. 

There are 4 designated rucks on our list (Pearce, Campbell, Watt and Hose).  Mick also regularly throws Harris and Zanker into the ruck at times plus we have Georgia Gall, training as a lead up marking forward.

Replacement players should be quick, mobile, contested ballwinners, not more one-paced talls. 

Predicting that Mick brings in Georgia (Gall or Campbell) for Tayla.  But would prefer to see Pisano or Johnson.

Yeah I don't think 2 rucks are in our best 21, but they played both of them to ease the workload on Pearce through the early rounds of the season given how vital she is.

Ideally Tayla would be the second ruck which always got her involved in games and opened the forward line up.

I'd probably play Campbell if she's fit because she's a pretty special talent if they can get her to the level. But full well knowing that one of Campbell or Watt has to come out by the end of the year.

I'd like another crumber but that relies on them being any good. The best line is up probably Purcell in asap allowing Hore to play forward more as well as Hanks and Goldy rotating forward more too.

I'm also yet to get a full grasp on just what kind of player Wotherspoon is. Didn't do much against the Cats but there's a good footballer in there. Seems to have size to compete in the air but also ability on the ground and a good tackler.

Feel really sorry for Tayla and MFC right now, we can’t get a decent break with injured stars.

[The end is nigh 366]

Tough break for Harris. Echoing the sentiments of others with hopes her recovery is smooth. 
 

would love to see Pisano in the side for a spark of a different type.

Bloody hell, Norm - enough with the curse, already.

Is the Big Brother set on the Gold Coast currently being used? We should invest in that as a place our players can go to recuperate when injured.

2024 continues to be a fiery dumpster.

Hope you're recover well Tay and you're fighting fit for 2025

Agree...she looked good in patches last year.

...be good to see her get a clear run at it.

If you can tolerate the Andrews, Harris was on SEN this afternoon with Maher & Gaze. Topics covered include the shoulder injury, the Olympics trip, immediate future & an ambassadorial role she'd doing. She's a ripper.
