Give us more...

Well that would be plain stupid and unprofessional. We have always acted professional in the way we've accommodate past players in either looking for a fresh start or seeking a trade. It's why past players leave good terms with the club.

Shesesh.. loves a hang time

I do remember this.

Leigh Montagna giving us a fair old pump up on 360.

Actually don't have issue with Hibberd returning to be honest. Being of an expense of a tall forward is my biggest issue though. We've gone from a system that has completely worked to the most where all purely numbers back to what they were in 2021 to now potentially throwing that put of wack.

Again, Lever role isn't to play on the number 1 key forward. He's there to play the 3rd intercept defender. Asking Gawn to float back at all costs to nullify Cox/Cameron is just completely running him to the ground. You're asking far too much from him.

Exactly. This has been evident all year if people had actually paid attention to watching Collingwood.

Yet is rated for above average for inside marks going at 2.4. There's where he mostly does his work when his using his work rate and running ability to work his opponent up and down. Rivers is not there to do a complete lock down role. That simply tales away his game of rebounding and playing that quarter back role.

Are you serious? Mihocek is their main focal point up forward and putting Rivers on him would be a disaster because he'll easily out body him one on one and that's not a swipe at Rivers, that's just Mihoceks strengths. May played on Mihocek last time and always gets the number 1 defender because he's a genuine key forward. By your reckoning here, Tex Walker is also 192cm tall as well and you would never in the world put a Hibberd or Rivers on him

Agree. We've unfortunately taken away our strengths. Collingwood have bene vocal that they'll target and tag Lever which then leaves May as the only tall trying to do the grunt work. We've finally found a defensive structure that has clicked well with the 3 talls. Our defensive numbers improved this year thr moment we implemented the 3rd tall mid way through the year.

Mihocek

They'll use Cox as the resting tall up forward. Smith is not a backman. Gets completely lost down there and this has been very evident.

Reverting back to Lever and May being our only 2 talls against a forward line that has 3 talls. This defensive structure has not worked this year.

Sheesh brutal call on Noble. He's usually the one setting them up off half back with his speed and kicking.

Thr last time we used Spargo as a sub was against Geelong in the rain and he was absolute pox. Laurie or Smith thanks.

For the benefit of his career then yes, it's the right decision.

He's not selected.

Based on your observations do we think it's only going to be the one change only with McDonald for Melksham?

How's he moving?

Goodwin has always been about whole team mentality attitude. Think back to when we took the whole squad to Perth back in 2021.
