I'll open the door for you..........

Jordan is from my home town of Yarrawonga. Grew up and played rep footy with my younger brother.

When i read those comments it shows we are still not taken seriously. Some feel confident that they can beat us and tightly so. We need to start winning these games and put them to the sword. Only way we can change the narrative is to play finals and at least beat a big Top 5 team.

Harmes was training and doing stoppage work with the mids yesterday.

Yeah fair point.

That worries me already. Smith is quick but Papley is far too dynamic at ground level. He is A grade and I fear if that was the case it could be career killer for Smith..

Yeah look I'm scratching my head. Like i said, I think it'll be a position change for Smith, as @Ethan Tremblay said, we're pretty well drilled down back and feel this could unsettle our back half.

Sub? Oh wait..

I reckon we could see a shift of Smith to the forward line. Only way I can see that justify his inclusion?

Fremantle really pushing Richmond. Our game against them will not be easy at all.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's been told that he won't be offered a contract.

I don't 'hate' Oscar.. I don't hate any of our players. I've been blunt on some of his performance this year but I've also given him praise when it was there. I t said at the start of the week that while Oscar made poor errors on the weekend it wasn't a bad performance as some made out. Though I had him as an omission this weekend due to Sydney running with only 2 key forwards and imo i simply didn't see a match up for him. Goody and the coaching staff obviously do and I'll back them in. Regards to the question I felt the reporter was trying to justify Levers good performance down to Oscar McDonald being in the side. I thought Lever answered well by saying that 'Don't want to have to keep Oscar out there for me to play well...' to me that says that while it's handy having Oscar there, both May and Lever have performed just as well without him. It seems like they're now wanting to build some chemistry between Lever, May, Omac for the next few weeks. I prefer Tomlinson as the 3rd tall and going off Tom Morris recent article it seems like coaching staff do for the future.

May and Lever have performed really well when he was out for those couple of weeks. The whole Omac makes them better players is a giant myth. Even Lever scoffed at that suggestion during his press conference.

This is so far from the truth.

Any news regarding a contract for next year?

Yes

I hope we are privately pushing a big case for Adam Saad. He is everything we are currently missing to the final pieces. Him and another quick small forward. I also think we need to look at sending Tom McDonald down back. Whether it's this year or next. When I see Tmac, Lever and May, I see a pretty potent back half. McDonald down back would free Lever up big time.

Is Paulo the new Elegt?

Yep, and the club are keeping a close eye on this one. A lot of water still to go under the bridge, but a promising junior so far.

@Pennant St Dee is usually all over this.

He's been playing reserves footy.

Yep. Right now besides Polec, I dont know who else they would have in mind. No one really sticks out in my opinion.

A real nothing article by Morris. Only thing I took out of it was Tomlinson will become a defender which means its red flag for Oscar if that's the case.

Not the worst idea going around.

I think people need to let go of this. Watts was let go due to poor off field standards. He will also be nearing 30 by next. He's finished unfortunately.
