No big loss. Just another Osker Baker/Rohan Bail type who can run but is an absolute butcher by trade with his foot skills. Folks melting over him is priceless.

18 months ago I would have said Lever, but his body is cooked and he doesn't have the on field performance and influence like he previously had. He'll be lucky to hold his spot next year alone. Petracca may be next in line but whether he's willing to stick with the club for a bit is another question. As a leader, you've gotta not only be able to influence off the field but also on field performance on a week to week basis. Having that presence in being able to influence games in big moments where teammates are inspired to follow. This is why guys like Garry Lyon, David Neitz, Nathan Jones and Max Gawn were so good at it. Chandler and Sparrow are no where that calibre and never will be. They are far too inconsistent and rarely impact games enough on a weekly level. One name to keep an eye on for the future is Xavier Lindsay. Highly rated at Gippsland Power for his leadership and maturity. I do know for a fact staff and players at the club have been really impressed with the way he has conducted himself on and off the field.

Duursma is just a half forward version of Cale Morton. Yuk.

They've both just kicked a goal.

Curtin looks like an absolute gun.

Jury is still out with both.

Goodwin is done. He'll coat an arm ans leg to get rid of the coach but we need to start head-hunting whether we need the right fit or not.

Plugger Kentfield

He and McVee tagged team and completely shut Bobby Hill down on Kings birth and then backed it by doing the same on Willie Rioli. Hes doing his job and doing it well. That's why hes picked. You've picked out the most obscure deficiencies that anyone has seen.

Loved all the selections until I saw Sharps name.. Good lord......

I presume Tom McDonald

Great decision.

I think Gaz was just as confused as all of us.

Was that around the forward entry stuff?

Okay sure. On the naked eye then, he's a poor kick in general. Simple as that.

Im not deriding Hunt at all. I'm only speaking of what the reality and truth is and that is, Jayden Hunt was simply poor by foot. He had everyone you wanted in a modern footballer except he would butcher the footy coming out of defence, pure and simple I liked Hunty more then anyone and thought he was the most unluckiest player in 2021. Had it not been for that ankle injury late, we'd be lauding him as a premiership player.

A senior game at 9:35am?? What are they, under 12's? Bizarre scheduling.

Yes

Time to keep a closer eye on Archie. Made his reserves debut yesterday for West Adelaide and had 26 disposals and 11 marks. This is off the back of two straight week of 36 disposal game against Norwood and backed it up with a 38 disposal game a week later.

I'm fine with where he was picked. But I beg to differ about his kicking. It's poor in my opinion. On effective disposal so far in his career hes rated as 'below average' thats including last year. He has time on his hand but history will say it can be difficult to turn a poor kick into a good one.

Agree 100%
