Recruiting - where did it all go wrong
Harry Sharp is a step in the right direction. We are in a rebuild and he fits our demographic. Itās all about the next opportunity now. Replenishing our list. We have made a lot of trade blunders, that were forgotten about when we won a flag. Thatās why we only won the one. Now back to the well, and hopefully, we learnt something.

The standard of umpiring?
Geelong play at home knowing the umpire sensitivities. Their players will just stop playing, and just expect the free. Some call it the āNick Daicos Effectā, but I think Dangerfield started the trend. The game of Aussie Rules has changed, and certain teams, manipulate umpiring trends. Geelong, Hawthorn, Bulldogs, Collingwood, are just a few that do it really well. Could be worse 5-6 goals to them In some games, and itās hard to go against the momentum of that.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
Petracca is in his prime, and is currently being wasted. He hasnāt lost a step. He is obviously frustrated, as many (most) of us are. Itās frustratingly obvious that our list would derive great benefit from replacing Goodwin.

Needs time. Still a couple years away. Has all the tools to be a special player. But needs to mature.

2024 Phantom Drafts
Pick 5 and 9 are tremendous positions to be in this draft. I wouldnāt split 9. I think weāll get quality at 5. Weāll get a top 3 slider at 5, and a top 5 slider at 9. So long as JT donāt reach for a Kolt, when a Darcy Wilson is right there for the taking. Hoping weāve learnt the lesson. Smokey selections, save for the latter picks.

Kozzy Homesick & Wants to Leave?
If Kozi does want to head to WA. Iād move him on for pick 10 and Freos 2025 1st. itās unders for us. But if he does legitimately want to leave, heās the type of player who could just not put in if he didnāt get his wish.

Goodwin Gifts Daicos Brownlow
Sparrow would blanket Daicos. Not sure we have anyone else who could. When Oliver and Trac are up and running, Daicos would find less opportunities. Iād nearly even run 3 dominant mids through next year and not tag Daicos again.
