I'm with you. They could still finish too and have a draft hand of three 1st round draft picks which includes Collingwoods one which they gave up for Schultz. They're in a really good space with their list build and age demographic. Their aim should be a premiership within thr next 3 years imo.

I've heard Jason Taylor speak on this previously. Pretty sure the concept is to get them in early into the program instead of waiting until the November draft. Problem is, we only signed him to a 6 month contract, so maybe he may not exactly be in their long term sights as some think. Perhaps they are wanting to see whether he shows enough at VFL level. I agree with you though, certainly missed the boat in bringing in a mature age ruckman.

With respect to you 'Red' let's agree to disagree on this one.

Freo made out like bandits with this one.

It sums up the soft mentality that supporters like you carry. Happy to accept and be proud of mediocrity. This isn't even about Gus at all. In fact if you really want to pin point the significance the loss of a player then I would say Melksham was a far bigger loss then Brayshaw.

Worse.. Essendon have been genuinely [censored] for 20 years. Blowing a 27 point lead in the last from a Collingwoods perspective.. Grab the popcorn

Aaand I couldn't give a flying [censored] what you think 😅 because I knew this would trigger you as always. Some actually take delight in seeing opposition team melts.

If some supporters on here think we're bad at turning on our own players go and read the Lachie Schultz thread on the Collingwood board..

🤣🤣 Yeah I'm absolutely proud we lost a final which gave us the opportunity to bomb out again the following week second year running. Cheers to that 🍻

This is exactly what sums up our game against Collingwood in the final.

Lol how so? Our inaccuracy was what killed us on the night. Brayshaw does not fix that. Fritsch and McDonald had opportunities to in the last quarter to potentially win us the game. That had nothing to do with Brayshaw. Collingwood had no Nick Daicos on the night who's already one of the genuine superstars of the game. Let that sink in as well.

No we weren't.

As @Binmans PA said, maybe it's us that is floating this idea instead of Jack.

What's their current picks??

Jordan Lewis type recruitment. It's smart move by the Roos and don't blame them for having a crack. He'd be perfect for a team with young up and coming midfield like North.

You two separated at birth?

I can't recall Hore lining up on any key forward either. One of Hores biggest strength is his intercept marking and ability read the play which Howes does well also. Howes at times has had to play on the taller types but also play on the smalls such as Shai Bolton and Willie Rioli. That's where's Howes versatility is much suited to our back 6 then people give him credit for. Howes also has more athletic traits then Hore which is where he has struggled more on the smaller opponents at ground level. Hore isn't overly quick. Writing all that was an absolute tongue twister

I reckon read somewhere that he was only on a 6 month contract??

I can't recall anyone whether that's media or supporter base writing Petracca off early days. The moment he made his debut he looked like a player with immense talent.

No he isn't.

Confused by this. Which bit of the Hore's height is needed over Howes part am i missing??

I think you can but pretty sure AFL have fined teams previously for doing this??

Casey have a bye this weekend. Good luck trying to get form Jeffo.

They're both in a joint partnership for a business they run together. Pretty sure it's a gym in Adelaide.

I was excited with this selection. Based on the games I've seen at VFL level he'd struggle to get a kick in the EDFL. I'd be saying thanks, but time to pack your bags at the end of the year.
