DistrACTION Jackson

Yep exactly. I’m all for a review of certain position at the club but to say we should gut the place is ridiculous.

Hang on, do you want change or don’t you? If Viney and Petracca are unhappy with aspects of the club, wouldn’t one of them be playing Clarry?

Jeffo wants out?

Not saying tis isn’t true, but if you are going to say stuff like that I’d be keen to know what these specific changes required are? Anyone can go on a forum and say general statements. I’m definitely not one who thinks it’s all rosy, but just trying to understand who the problem people are if it isn’t the senior coach.

Well Morris did say he hasn’t got a problem with the coach… I’m not sure what he means by direction of the club. If it’s to do with finishing 13th I can confirm that 66k members are also unhappy with this

I see. So club is aware of these frustrations and investigating. Cool

There will still be people who post, ‘we kicked 10 behinds in the grand final so should’ve won by an extra 30 points at least so I’m not accepting the premiership on that basis’

We also played the Lions and Dogs twice... which is unfathomable in a competition where you don't even play everyone once!

I'm thinking potential ins are: - Houston to replace Brayshaw with ideally a future 1st - Ryan Angwin to replace Hunter as wing depth - Ready to go Ruck (Reidy or McAndrew potentially?) to replace Schache - Pick 7 after Ashcroft bid - Lalor or Reid? - Harry Edwards to replace Tomlinson - Experienced forward to replace Smith - Membrey potentially?

I'd be picking up Riak Andrew on the sole hope you can entice his brother back to play with him!

Once our training facility is finally finished he deserves a statue right at the front

Liam Reidy had 19 disposals, 3 marks, 4 tackles and 54 hit outs on the weekend in the WAFL. I hope he's the one we are looking at as the main back up for Max next year.

I'm going to preface this by saying I love Clarry and I want the club to continue to back him and get him right over this off season. But seriously, if his hand is that cooked please please please just send him for surgery and focus on getting him super fit for 2025. There is absolutely no point in playing him these last two weeks and he is having zero impact on the game. I would rather we run with a Bailey Laurie, who was actually solid when he played a few weeks ago. Even play Kynan Brown in the forward line and play Neal-Bullen more midfield if required.

Brown yes, Hunter no

We do need the riddler back giving us some riddles this off season…

It also doesn’t count Brayshaw or Smith.

1:45 Saturday would be perfect

Maybe he had some illness as well… we don’t really know

Watching the Hawks play we need to focus on speed and endurance more than anything. Langdon, Windsor and McVee definitely have it. We probably need another 2-3 with elite speed and endurance to compete with the best sides now.

Great take and my thoughts exactly. Choosing not to post non stop calling players spuds etc does not mean we accept mediocrity.

Was reasonably happy with Salo’s game. Think we need to leave him at half back to protect his body. Don’t think the running levels required for a mid suit him

I agree that any of those players could have been subbed.

You realise we are talking about 2005 when they got Lance Franklin?

Well when you delist a huge chunk of your list that’s what happens and they would have known that. Tbh I don’t know why people are bringing up the Hawks draft strategy from 2005 and trying to apply it to us now

They purposely finished bottom of the ladder multiple years. You want to go back to the very bottom of the ladder again? We are doing a mini-rebuild on the run and will have a top 10 pick this year, assuming we don’t give it up for Houston which I pray we don’t.
