Albury Tigers represent...

I like it. Still a bit inexperienced for my liking but he's definitely got the traits. Much loved and very popular figure amongst the group and yes, naturally people follow him just due to his personality and good country natured style.

How so?

Forgot to mention.. But quickly the field has been reduced to Buckley and first-timers like Lions football boss Danny Daly and senior assistants like Hayden Skipworth and Daniel Giansiracusa.

Spoke really well didn't he. I reckon there is a bit to go under the bridge still. Clearly hes been approached already but something tells me it will be him asking more of the questions then the selection panel.

Lives with Harry Sharp and Aidan Johnson as well.

So did anyone catch the opening segment of the agenda setters? Not that I watched it but had the TV running in the background and this show so happened to come on and immediately Caro there was ongoing issues at board level with Brad Green and Steven Smith. Supposedly the Goodwin sacking was purely a Brad Green decision. Not entirely sure where Smith stand on this. Steven Smith was supoose to start in a few weeks, but now apparently Greeny is pushing his start time back to December because now he wants to stay involved and sees everything through. Mentioned there is clearly a disconnect off field at leadership level with board members probably not being aligned with one another. Off field issues now going to be a major barrier for potentially Nathan Buckley or any other coach due to our messy board level and lack of stability.

Yes absolutely. He or Rivers over Viney every day of the week. Viney is a liability in our midfield and whoever is the new coach needs to address the elephant in the room and that is Viney should not be in our best 22 next unless he can reinvent himself into a pressure small forward. If not, then hes depth at Casey.

Hes not wrong. We're an Adelaide off season recruiting from at least finishing top 6 next year. This off season will be more crucial then ever in terms of getting the player movement correct.

So I take that as a yes then..

Are you a bitter ex girlfriend of Kade Chandle??

Really? Its pretty common knowledge that this would occur at every single club. Ignore what anyone's says on here that the players love Goody etc etc.. you may have that, but you also will have a group that will not like him and have zero trust in the game plan. Anyone thats been heavily involved within footy circles whether thats at state league or community level would see this a lot as being a common occurrence.

His marking ability up forward could be Heeney like for us.

I want to see what Kentfield can do at AFL level this year.

The comparisons is referenced because Oliver has proven to be an A grader at their level but also to prove that all elite players go through their own adversity with injuries in season. Yet those players find a way to consistently perform at a high level managing injuries week in, week out. Oliver hasnt played a decent game since early 2023 and because of that, supporters are letting him off the leash far too easily with excuses to justify okay performances.

His 2024 season was a by product of his off field behaviour. Obviously wont go to detail on personal matters as im fully aware what he was getting up to having spoken to his family members. There is an element that he needs to take majority of responsibility for his 2024. Yes there was the broken hand but he came back in completely poor shape and was struggling to cover the ground in most games. Everyone goes through a season carrying injuries at the back end of the year. This is what i mean by we're making excuses for the sake of making excuses. Again, to reference Bontempelli, he was carrying back and ankle issues last year to the point there were reports he was in doubt for some games but carried that through and performed at an incredible high level. Misses the first 7 weeks of the season and comes in playing like an absolute pro. Lachie Neale was carrying an ankle injury leading into the 2024 finals campaignand then snapped his plantar fasciitis early on the grand final and still finished runner up in the norm smith medal with 36 disposals. That's the standard Oliver needs to be at whether supporters like it or not. When you're paying someone ridiculous amount of money then that needs to be justified from an on field performance perspective. The fact that supporters are satisfied with good honest performances from Oliver off the back of a full pre season this year just shows the incredible fall from grace for him.

There is a lot of Jarrod Berry to his game being the tall big bodied winger. These are the new prototype/hybrid wingers that are perfect for the get out option from D50 but can also float float forward and become a good marking option. Ollie Dempsey is similar as well.

Yeah true. Bowey hitting Petty up inside forward is something we've been screaming out for so long. Just the poise and ability to lower his eyes is something I want the club to utilise Bowey more playing more mid/high half forward.

I reckon he has been given the licence to fly for those marks due to his strong contested marking ability. But I agree, moments like that particular incident he should have gone the spoil because he certainly gets good height when he leaps.
