One thing that people overlook- is that Grundy coming over will likely prolong Maxy’s career. Getting another year or 2 out of Max or even an extra 4-5 games a year without injury is invaluable. All hypothetical, but with Jackson gone Max would have rucked 80% of games for the next 2 years at least while developing the young rucks. Teams target him physically because of his importance.

Tommy Mac will kick a goal and Luke Darcy will mention that he was out the door at Melbourne and stayed as no one else wanted him

Much more physical than Max. Will support Max well throughout the year, which was an issue last year as Max was Bullied and beaten up..

Some poor skills in the 2s. Tomlinson is a mile off a senior spot, Tmac is even a better option down back.

Watching Eddie’s son Xander read the story on the news was a treat to watch…

Disposal is an issue. Can’t remember the game this year, but streaming forward with Oliver clear and he handballed behind him and the opposition went on to score. Summed his last half of the year up. He is an ‘almost’ player.

90% of what has been said on this thread has gone over my head.

I’d love to see if on our list. Half back would replace Hunt nicely.

Could see Freo missing, Pies also. Port could improve quite a bit and still not make it. More of a post trade observation on others who have improved their lists.

I would say absolutely yes…. But… As we know premierships require a lot of things to click and fit players is one. Do we have the depth, I’d argue we run a bit thinner than some. We certainly don’t expose enough depth players to see if they meet the standard, this will need to change. Port, Bulldogs, Tigers, Brisbane will all improve next year. We need some growth from below to feature on the last game in September.

Hunter, McRae and the Bont always made me nervous against the Bulldogs. Now only the 2 to deal with.

Is it all over now… or are the AFL giving clubs an extra 3 hours to complete deals like last year?

It’s nice of GWS to continue to offer to incubate players for other clubs. Can they develop a key defender for when May retires.

Stengle was a pretzel- no way Geelong do as well this year without him. Understand it’s a lesser risk, but fortunate favours the brave and we need improvement in our forward half.

Are we making a play at him? He would be unbelievable if we could straighten him out.

The good news is, we will win next year.. take it to the bank!!

Will Chris Scott celebrate by finally washing his hair?

They will.. it will be called the good bloke award

On another note, why do all the Primo ads show people not eating their hotdogs or produce….? Lots of groaning, but no ingestion

We certainly need more active small forwards and flankers. Close, Guthrie and Stengle look incredible at ground level. They are always at the right spot and clean

At least BT is ruining the match day experience for Cats fans like he did for us last year.

Well.. when you put it that way..

Not worth a mid 2nd round pick and $500k per year in my eyes. We need a hybrid ruck/forward, not another tap ruckman.

Not sure how much more talent they can cram in. Draft will see them brimming. Beside MCSTAY is there any spillage?

Might be ‘fork in it’ time for Tom.
