But it also makes little sense to play injured players when the season is done. It allows them the appropriate recovery time and prep for the 2025 preseason. Gawn and Viney could use a break.

For the record I am a fan of Goodwin, but our conditioning really needs to be addressed in the summer.

With respect Binman that is no reason for the Top side to lose by over 100 points, apart from Papley and Amartey the had almost had a full strength team. There is still time for Sydney but assuming their season falls off a cliff questions will need to be asked; after 12 years at the helm.

Since Round 9 (4 wins and 8 losses) we are the following: 15th Disposals 16th Kicking Efficiency 18th Clearances 14th Points For and Against Is this a talent, coaching issue or combination of both? A discussion on these numbers would be appreciated, the stats came from Round So Far (AFL site).

After Sydneys performance I hope Fremantle can challenge Brisbane from here.

The sad reality of last night is that our premiership window is almost shut. You could argue this run started from 2018 but its hard to see Max, May, Viney and Co maintaining this level of performance beyond 2025. Next year is our last chance and some big decisions need to be made to achieve this.

Too late though

Such a waste, the only silver lining is that it gives a club a chance to start planning for 2025 now. If Goodwin decides to do this is another question.

Sadly only the kids drafted have been a net positive.

This runner from Germany sums up tonight's performance:

Making some progress now.

Yep stick a fork in this team as 2024 looks done. Start playing Jeffo, Fullarton, etc next week and see what they have to offer.

Lucky the Olympics are on TV

Jack Mcrae in there VFL side; never thought I would see that.

Hope Howes can play a big one and prove to himself he is good enough at this level.

Joe Rogan would be impressed with this thread.

I'm sensing a money maker here DStone

Eagles are placing a lot of value on half a season of good form in a 100-game career.

Im not smart enough DStone, sorry.

A real shame for the kid but the extra break might help him. Give Howes a go.

Sharemarket today is red today as well, I thought there was a reason.

Was always a fan of the Drake guernsey:

On a slightly different note the Dees have the equal 4th in debutants since 2023 which surprised me. Ignore the picture of Brad Scott as it relates the Essendon having the least.

The net result of this draft has been great considering we did not have a Top 10 pick. Moving forward I would we just trade players for Picks and allow JT to keep working his magic.

Im sensing a group hug is needed.
