Eek... Would have been happy with the Weideman/Brown combo but Weideman as the sole key forward doesn't fill me with much confidence at all unfortunately.

Well then they shouldn't haven't offered him a 2 year deal last year because they're stuck with him for another year.

In fairness to Weid, he hasn't been give the opportunity to at least work in tandem with Brown. Goody speaks about building cohesion within the team but yet refuses to at least give the Weid/Brown combo a decent crack. They've played 4 games together this year alone and only 1 last year. How are they're suppose to build chemistry if you're just going to chop and change your 2nd key tall from AFL to VFL every 2nd week. I've been one of Weids biggest critic this year with some of his performances, but right now our forward line is still a shambles playing the one tall. The opportunity has been there since McDonald went down. The 1 tall forward line alongside Gawn/Jackson as support is just completely out of wack because both Gawn and Jackson simply don't have the forward instinct and craft in them. It got exposed against Geelong and just survived against Port thanks to a 170cm star small forward.

Some are easily so pleased..

Reading training reports on demonland be like..

Oh yeah it could be?

Tex? Ben King who signed he's contract extension earlier on the year perhaps.

Here we go.

Neither.

He's a bit of both. He's similar to Bontempelli in terms of playing style. I agree that a gun KPF would be ideal, but unfortunately there isn't any quality out there that's available. If it was me, I'd be bold and offer a truck load to Max King from the Saints. He's playing like a guy that's clearly frustrated and the Saints are about to go balls deep with their list. Their age demographic and list management is poor, and I can see a significant decline over the next few years.

Looks like they're doing the captains run? A running commentary on the session would be appreciated thanks Kevy... 😁

On top of trying to deal a separate and more complex deal in Jackson, I just think the club will mutually accept the compensation pick and move on quickly to get this Jackson deal. History will tell you that clubs rarely match bids on free agents that leave.

Glad you brought this up. With the exodus about to occur at the Giants they would be pretty nervous with this one especially as he hasn't signed the contract extension that's already been offered to him.

If what the offer is believed to be offered to Jackson then I have no idea how they fit Brayshaw in. It's obvious that Brayshaw after a pay rise. I personally don't think we'll match the offer BTW. We're not known to play hard ball with deals and I think we prefer just to get deals done and move onto the next.

Even Purple is getting in on the act..

He'd be an upgrade on Sparrow.

Agree 'Spirit'.. I've watched a few Vic Country vision and he's the one that's really stood out in terms of the perfect fit for our list. Has vice like grip with his hands and his work rate is exceptional. Not only that, he kicks goals. Of we're able to grab a top 10 pick then I think he'll come under heavy consideration. Matthew Jefferson is another interesting prospect, but he's a bit more skinnier at only 76kg which to me tells me that it's going to a few years until you see the best of him at AFL level. Cadman is already physical ready to go next year imo.

Quiet perplexing really. I was extremely confident last week that Gus was going to play as a midfielder in the place of Oliver when Dunstan was named. Knew that wasn't the case 5 minutes into the game. Unfortunate Goody isn't someone willing to throw the magnets around and that's been evident when we've had the losses. Moments where I thought we could have mixed things up in the midfield by getting Gus in there when we've been smashed in clearances, but nope we stick with the same predictable set up which includes throwing Sparrow in there (who's been bloody average this year).

We're the number 1 side in the competition for using the least amount of players.... We've had one debut player this year in Daniel Turner off the back of having two debutants last year in Bowey and Jordon. Not even sure if this is a good thing or bad thing. I mean, I look at our line up and still scratch my head in why we see fail to address the big concern around our forward line set up.

Well yes and no.. Bedford is uncontracted as it stands and has a right to exercise other options that could benfit his career more then being a bit player coming off as a sub here and there.

Absolutely they would, I know I certainly would. The red and blue rosy glasses has gotten the better of some on here. Same people are the ones praising Jake Lever for accepting for our offer of 3.5 millin dollar to join the dees. At the end of the day he's completely out of contract. He's not doing anything wrong at all and has ever right to assess his options. He's looking at changing employment company ans that's all it is.
