Think Howe played like 5 games up forward then Collingwood got some injuries and Buckley was like "oh well". He's never seen the forwardline since lol.

Roos always knew he wasn't a forward.

That's not true Collingwood turned him into a defender, he never played down back for Melbourne. Just ask the pies supporters.

I don't believe we have a young player ready to step up so there is no development issue but more likely a list issue.

It's going to be interesting to see how we handle White.

Do we see him as a potential ruck or a KP player???

Either way if he makes it he's still a few years off.

There is obviously a development issue at play with several players who are not getting played in their positions or getting a decent run at it - that does not change depending on what level of skill the player has – and the football department needs to improve.

That's a different issue. I'm talking specifically about the ruck position.

Cal Twomey on Gettable stating that Adelaide have previously held interest in Judd, and now that the NWM chase is effectively over, he's posed the question as to whether Adelaide visit this again and 'up the interest'.

He's also framed this against the signs being that JM will stay with the Dees and that has been the indication all season.

Happy with AMW re-signing.

I know it was only a match simulation against North but he looked terrific that day and he was absolutely penned in for the GWS round 1 game in the absence of McVee.

(Mind you JVR played his best game of the year in that match simulation so I'm sort of arguing against myself...)

Not sure we should be picking an AFLW team to please the boyfriends.

He's dating Lily Johnson. Not sure it actually makes any difference

A grand total of zero.

Why would you post this in Judd’s contract thread? It has nothing to do with Judd’s contract. Maybe you accidentally posted it here instead of in an AFLW thread? Or maybe this is a failed attempt at humour?

Lily is a football player in her own right.

Ah, thanks! I was definitely confused. Makes sense. Surely he takes into account her being here but that’s about all.

I’m guessing he’s not happy with conditions and wants a huge pay increase or role to remain, or has resigned to the fact he’s leaving and will. Based off he’s most recent form, not overly upset if he goes, which is a shame because he was really quite smooth for a while there.

Unsure, but they certainly have had more success.

It will if Johnson finds herself out of the team and Daisey offers her a contract.

jj is a premiership player with the mfc, made a grand final with bloods, no finals in 2025

bedford has gone from someone who has been a great tagger to someone who is arguably on the fringes of gw$ best side

Bedford plays every week for the Giants, he isn’t a fringe player.

Awesome to have Goldy back in the side!

But the poster’s comment “concerning” had nothing to do with the W team selections and everything to do with Lily Johnson being dropped which is “concerning” purely because she’s Judd’s partner. 🙄

i was aware Lily is Judd's girlfriend

my response was to allay the concerns regarding team selection. Goldy and Gall make us stronger (no disrespect to Lily or Pisano)

Yeah, you and I are on the same page, we just don’t know it 😅

curious on others' thoughts on what role pisano will play as she develops?

i must admit i'm uncertain
