DistrACTION Jackson

Could just be part of his development and they may look to move him forward next year to increase his profile.

And fair enough. Whoever this is about needs to sit down with Gawny, Trac and the rest of the leaders and talk about what they actually want out of their footy career. If it doesn’t align with the club then perhaps they should be moved on

Agree with that

Makes you wonder if the reports of Houston being our target was potentially linked to ANB leaving?

As sad as we are at Nibbler leaving, this isn’t on Tim Lamb? You can blame him and Taylor for some other choices but not this one. He is signed up don’t forget, so theoretically we could just say no. Can’t see us doing that but we aren’t just going to give him away.

Good opportunity for Laurie next year. He was right up there in the running over the off season so if he has a big preseason could be the first option as a replacement. Spargo probably also in the mix if he can get fit.

This thread is really not picking up much momentum atm… 🤣

Not a bad idea as a like for like replacement.

What’s right for Nibbler May not be the same for Koz. Don’t think it’s worth jumping at shadows. Baby shadows that is

This is a real shame and he will be sorely missed, especially in the short term. Hopefully we can get something decent in return, I think a pick in the 20s would be fair and the crows will have this.

A lot of people on here will be happy. Means they can complain constantly about how ordinary we are.

When the media say Trac wants out they are right. When they say ANB isn’t leaving due to what is going on, they are wrong. Don’t you get it?

I’m not bringing May back under any circumstances. Rest up big fella, you’re needed in 2025

You’re Tom’s source aren’t you?!?

I think we could do both. Talk is that from next year we can trade two years in advance, so could be able to trade 2026 and 2027 picks.

I like the look of Murphy Reid personally. He doesn’t have the electric speed of a Butters, but he has incredible spatial awareness like a Pendlebury or Sheezel.

The eagles definitely experienced something similar after 2006. Judd was gone after 07, Cousins in rehab, Fletcher flatlining. That was way worse than what we’ve gone through. Amazing Nisbett and Worsfold were kept on so long after this. Guessing if it was a Vic club it would’ve been very different.

Cashing in on the hawks revival. They know their supporters would be reading every article

@Demonland can we please change the name of this thread to 'Trac wants out... if he was out of contract'

Mark or Russell?

Where was this?

I think Goody has good relationships with the players and is a very good man manager, which I believe is now the key role of a head coach. I also think the players like playing for him and he is the right person to lead the club forward. Where I don't think he is doing well is the following: - Selection integrity has been poor. This may be a bi-product of our lack of depth this year, however the same could be said in 2022 and 2023 when we didn't have depth issues. - Use of the sub has been shocking dating back to Schache in the semi final. Stop using key position players as the sub, everyone else uses a small and then outruns us in the last quarter. - Tactical coaching. I think he is very good at coming up with a game plan going into a game (the recent Port game as an example), however because he likes to coach from the bench he can't make tactical decisions well during the game. We need to bring in the best tactical coach we can to be up in the box and provide this.

No doubt we would be keeping in touch with Mac and saying wouldn't you love to come play with your brother...

The Jackson one was different though because he was OOC and also from WA.

I agree with this. Just making the point that the season is almost done so no point trying to nurse him through the last 2 weeks. Based on form Laurie or Kynan Brown should be in the side over Clarry and that frustrates me the most as a supporter.
