DistrACTION Jackson

I think if Gus had retired straight away we would’ve offered Jordon more money, so that was unlucky. the grundy one was the right move as it gave us more cap once we realised it didn’t work. Doesn’t help this year but will help over the next 5

I don't want the Cats to win, given it's our best chance at making top 4 for them to lose, however this shows me how ridiculous the AFL fixturing is. Swans have had two byes already and the Cats haven't had any. The Swans look so fresh and the Cats are cooked and just hanging in there. The AFL are a joke the way they run the fixture.

They can be had believe it or not!

No worries I might've taken it the wrong way! I like what I see from him personally but he's still probably 2 years off an AFL debut

No need to have a crack at him mate. I've seen May miss a bucket load of short kicks.

Kolt looks like a future leader the way he gets around his teammates.

Needs a 3-4 week block at Casey in my view to build some confidence in his body

Kentfield looks taller than Jefferson... but that could be because he hunches over

Good mark and goal from Kentfield

Kolt looking the goods

Fuullarton has definitely shown better intent today. Think they would have given him a wack for his desire

Does anyone know if a player is named on the field for Casey does that mean they are a definite to not play afl? If so, I’m pretty disappointed Kolt won’t be playing Monday. It would also mean the likey changes are Billings in for Hunter and JVR in for Turner. Would mean they aren’t making any other changes after a 90 point loss 🤯

Showed some good signs tonight! Was beaten well early but fought back. Still think he needs another year developing in 2025, but will be fully ready to go in 2026. if he plays with Gawny he will learn about the level of fitness required to be the best.

Can we throw the sink at LDU?

Surely the teams for this are out?

We wouldn't be allowed to do that. The AFL would advise when teams need to be announced

That's ridiculous...

When do the teams come out? Im really hoping the Kolt comes in for Mcadam. Think he deserves another crack.

He looks like he will be a real work-horse type player in the Mihocek mould. Him, JVR and Jefferson could work well together

That's exactly right. Collingwood have shown they don't value ruckman, if I'm Tim Lamb I'd be mentioning how much value we do put in ruckman.

Long weekend started early for you ?

I think we will be very active in this off-season and we will have to be! We've already heard of a number of targets such as Ryan Angwin, Ned Moyle & Josh Battle. I also really hope we are going hard for Davies-Uniacke if he is considering leaving, given we lost Brayshaw from our midfield. Given the likely departures of Brown, Tomlinson & Joel Smith, plus the potential retirement of McDonald (not a guarantee), we should have a decent amount of salary cap space to chase multiple players. If we were to get all of the above and keep our first round pick that would be a great way to replenish our list on the run. This would essentially be a mini-rebuild and would lower the overall age of our list given LDU is 24, Moyle 22, Battle is 25 and Angwin is 21. I know this is probably a fanciful scenario, but I really hope Lamb and the team go hard.

Petty has shown less than nothing at AFL level....

I think both Mcadam and Petty need to go back to Casey. Petty should go play down back there and get some form. JVR hopefully will come in and I think it's time to give Fullarton a run as the ruck/forward. Hunter will also be out and I'd like to see the Kolt come in as the pressure forward role and Langdon back to the wing. Hard to see many more than 3 changes though.

Sparrow should be dropped well before Clarry.
