Kozzie should definitely go for at least a couple weeks. Will give another player an opportunity. It’s just where the game is at. I think Kozzi will adapt anyway.

2/2 In SA. Fantastic. Not easy. Well done to the lads. Wasn’t our best game. But we got the job done, I don’t think the umpires served our game style well. Windsor compliments this group a lot. JVR at his best lifts our morale. Petty is a back man, and that isn’t a bad thing, as hell replace May eventually. I thought TMAC did well. Chandler had good pressure. A real game turner was Fritsch, and Pickett was there when needed.

Absolute weapon

Hopefully that’s Billings to the VFL for the year.

Windsor is an absolute jet

Im surprised how bad Adelaide are going inside 50

Umpiring is a farce

$1.17 I’d have us at. I don’t understand why we’re anywhere near $1.54

Windsor doesn’t look as though he needs a rest. At his rate of improvement he’ll probably be in our best 6 at the club after next week. I haven’t seen a player come at our club come do what Windsor has. We’re a top 4 level club, and this kid comes in first year and improves the side drastically. Unless he gets injured he’ll be winning the rising star.

He looks good, and flashy, with plenty of upside. Haven’t seen much of the defensive side yet. What’s really impressive about Reid - and Windsor - is their pace. Windsor is sharp inside the contest, repeats tackles, excels on the outside. We’ve lucked out. I haven’t seen that from Reid, but no doubt we will. But Windsor is desperate, and I’d be surprised to see that from Reid. It’s a mentality. If Reid was desperate he wouldn’t carry any fat on him. It’s a harsh bench mark but true.

I think he has the attributes to remain on a list somewhere. But time is running out to find his role. It’s probably a third tall rotating as a relief ruck. But he’s had time. It’s not like Watts, who was always a quarterback played up key forward.

Without being bias, and on limited viewing, I’d have him top of the class. Dursma looks good too.

I wouldn’t say an A grader. However, he’s an improving playing even at his age. It’s more the mental now. ANB is athletic, with a tank, but a cooler head than we see. He is aging well, and he will improve.

I agree. 110% agree.

We did well to come back. Just need to stick our tackles and apply more pressure within the contest. Port were lucky early. They aren’t much of a side, so we should be able to break them down late. Viney getting frees he deserves, Rivers starting to realize he can take the game on - no one can stop him, and Howes.. just thoroughly impressive. Sky is the limit for Howes

Ditto. Shame he wasn’t coming through our system now. Elite user.

Hore.

I’d play Howes on one wing, Windsor on the other. Instruct our backs to switch play more and utilize the wingers pace and dare. Run our wingers into the ground. Keep our mids fresher and ready.

Had we of cashed Petty in, and gotten rightful value for Grundy, we’d have extended our window. I think we’re still firmly in the window, but I’m more worried about once it passes. How quickly things can fall. I hope we assess at years end, and be more active in acquiring high end talent.

Sydney should’ve put us away by 50 points, and I don’t think they will be a top 4 side.

Training drill for the swans unfortunately. We really needed that call early when ANB should’ve had a shot 10m out directly in front. Umpires have been disappointing. So have we though.

Somethings up. He drifted to 8, and looked a logical top 5 selection. Freo supporter, idolized Pav, but seemed happy enough to land anywhere.

Seems a good kid. I like his attitude. These picks 6 and 11 we won’t know for a few years whether we pulled the right reign or not, but sounds like we got two good characters.

I don’t think he’d be disappointed. He strikes me as the type of guy who’d be glad to have a year with Max. He goes to Sydney as the most complete version of himself. No reason he shouldnt feel as though he isnt the best ruck in the land

You could also argue that a lack of discipline cost us the PF.
