I’ll try to add some excitement umm... who will win our top goal scorer??? trac on 22 hunt on 20 fritsch on 17 we’ll probably only kick 6 goals as a team so bailey is out. It’s a two horse race!! be nice for Trac to kick 3-4 and cap off a good year of steady improvement

If he is an assistant coach only then great. If he is guiding and mentoring Goody - not so great. I doubt he will be employed as an assistant only but we will see

Interesting one. 6 seasons with the saints and zero finals. 34% win record certainly won't be much of a tactical or coaching mentor for Goody (that he desperately needs) so you can only assume he will be in a development role?

Did he check first class? or at least the exit rows?? ?

We sell games to NT and still need to be propped up by the AFL. Rabble

What a friggen rabble we are

thanks christ this season is finished in 2 days I hope Brown kicks 0.7 and loses the coleman

Trying to be positive - our core group is young. learning important lessons such as how hard you have to continually work each year, more and more to not only stay where you are but not go backwards is a critical lesson. and as easy it is for us supporters to say 'work harder' and 'dont take things for granted', lessons sometimes need to be learned the hard way through experience. this season should burn in each player over preseason. let's hope the young blokes learn fast and those that arent hurting ad arent committed are shown the door

Missing finals with that list 4 out of 5 years. we'd be insane to pick him up!

bizarre sacking. The club goes into a re-build and now look to be improving greatly at 7-8. injuries derailed their season from there. There must be more to it. I reckon the amount of players wanting to leave is the main reason.

Petracca as Shrek and Harmes as the Donkey??

Viney should be sole captain. I know he had an average year but the effort was there and he finally put a full season together. He was inspirational last year and I have faith he will come good. time for the next level to step in and drive the direction of the club. I want one of Gus/Trac/Clarry to step up and be promoted to the LG if deserved over preseason. The young group is the one that need to realise they can drive the direction of this club. Gawn does enough and will be weighed down by captaincy imo. The Gawn/Lever in the LG also.

I hear you Nev from a long term perspective but 28, 29 are peak years for most players so I have high hopes for the next two years if the above get on the park that is. If our younger group can mature and the older group stay fit it could come together

Pruess 22kicks 8 tackles. 55 hitouts and kicked 0.5! he is an interesting unit!

Hunt really needs to pull the finger out. I’m doubting he has the mental application to be a consistent footballer for us.

For sure. We have the best list we’ve had in 12 years. When Gus Clarry Trac etc are all 25-30yo we will be a force. Just need our coaching and maybe admin to get its [censored] together. Stick tight folks

If teams around the 8 keep losing their could be a team in the 8 with 10 wins and 12 losses! bombers in the 8 even if they lose both now. Most likely

Go Dees

he was good earlier this year but his last 4 weeks he has been in our worst. He effort has seemed to drop away so it is a pretty obvious omission imo

you make it sound like we have Buddy sitting in the twos. the highlighted players you mention have been given several opportunities in the team and have not performed. there is no reason to think they would be better than the other NQRs selected

Hold on folks. We are almost there! 8 Days 6 Hours 53 Minutes Season 2019 Ends

you won't have to worry about that next year!

That team on paper looks very good until you realise you are not in the Casey thread

was 36 actually. big difference is though: 16 players played 20 games or more last year. so the majority of the 22 stayed together all year

They will obviously rise up (they have been in the bottom 3 for 5 years straight) but not by that much unless they recruit or draft more talent. Outside of Cripps and Walsh they are still light on in the midfield. fwd pressure is not great. run off half back not great. they need a reliable ruckman and their leadership aside from cripps is poor They dont have the list to win a flag imo.
