DistrACTION Jackson

He needs to be given a crack this week, purely because we have to reward VFL form when our 1st side is struggling to score and is winless. We need to get some selection integrity going to hopefully get some wins in the AFL!

Probably won't leave given it's early days, but if they are lowballing him it may happen. Premierships are good, but at the end of the day it is a job and a short term one.

Another good listen. It feels like the players are so focused on trying to implement the new ball movement plans that they aren't doing the basics well. We need to get back to worrying about pressure and contested ball as our primary focus on game day. A bit like when you practice a new golf swing. While on the range you spend time thinking about it and implementing the change, but once you're out on the course you just focus on hitting the ball.

The stuff I've heard about him this would be crazy risky....

I reckon the Kolt is the man that will bring that glue moving forward. Looks a natural leader to me.

Clarry is currently having more impact on games and actually had 3 less clangers than Viney on Friday but double the disposals!

You would drop Oliver before Viney? 🤯

Plus Lindsay rolling through there

Hinkley would have to be leading given he's already leaving end of year.... He may step aside early if they lose a few more. Goody and Voss it's really who has more losses first!

I don't think it's disposal, he's pretty solid in that area. He just has zero leg speed. Would prefer him to Viney atm though easily

Fair point. Though there are plenty of sides who have picked up mature age rookies late or in the mid-season draft and played them immediately. I think he is good enough to have a long term best 23 spot, I'm more referring to that he is still learning the team systems etc.

I'm sure he is, but hopefully we are right in the fight because we just have to replenish the list and cutting everyone and sitting at the bottom for 5 years is not a good strategy anymore.

It sounds like he’s leaving and obviously Derksen we liked last year. Maybe we will go for both this off season.

Agreed. Let’s not forget he only got a spot a few weeks before the season started, he’s trying to play afl level footy without even doing a full pre season with the side. He’s 100% worth persisting with in the small forward role.

I think we need to go hard at some players with talent at other clubs who can’t get a go due to positional strength. We need them to come in and have the ability to impact straight away, I don’t want to languish back down the bottom again! For example, Leek Aleer was pick 15 in 2021 but can’t get a go at the Giants. At 23 he’s about to enter a great age for key position players and has extraordinary athletic ability. I’m sure there are plenty more out there we can target, but if we get White and Sinnema through the draft we are still rebuilding with youth while trying to stay relevant! The Giants have a ridiculous amount of depth. We need to raid as much as we can.

Any chance we give Sestan a go so we can move Rivers back into the middle?

He is a baby Bont… his goal was all class

That’s the way I see it as well

Correct. Imagine if that Was the pick we gave up for Houston… would be a disaster.

Just sick of people going on about the first round pick without mentioning who we got for it. Lindsay was genuinely The best performed draftee the first two weeks, better than Ashcroft, lalor, O’Sullivan, Draper… all top 5 picks. He’s an absolute jet and I’m Glad we got him.

Maybe goody should go, but Selwyn Griffiths should absolutely go! We’ve gone backwards at a rate of knots since he took over from Burgess.

That pick is Lindsay you absolute fl@g of a supporter…. Would rather him at this stage. Maybe learn about what the pick was traded for you peanut brain

Great work by Mentha there! Burst through the stoppage to create that goal

Casey show more fight when someone cops a big hit than our AFL guys... Petracca would've given him a high five a wished him well

JVR job security in danger?
