Yes, I certainly am for you on this part..

Pretty obvious this was always going to be the case after his 6 goal performance...

Is this still a thing or have our interest dried up.

Aligns with what @Dannyz said.

I said the last few years meaning since 2020 The kozzies and the Olivers are great also. For all of that you then have your Weideman ahead of Curnow/McKay selection which is turning out to being one of the bigger blunders, the Bailey Laurie selection and then flop Grundy trade which doesn't exactly paint our list management in the brightest picture. Our inability to address outside class and speed for a number of years has been concerning considering we're about to head into another year with an aging and slow Lachie Hunter and Ed Langdon who's also getting on and hasn't played a good game since 2021. I don't even mention Blake Howes because he played as a floating defender at Casey all year this year. Bizarre list management decisions like giving Tom McDonald an extended contract when it was clear at the time that he was on a steep decline. We've got him clogging up our list next year on top of Ben Brown when we all know that they're both absolutely cooked to the bone. I'll continue to watch with interest.

Strange comment, but okay....

Okay James.

Didn't want to embarrass you any further. First Jackson and now this. Eek..

You contradict yourself here. You're saying they're picked up for depth in case of injury. We then had injury that presented itself and now you're saying he wouldn't made a difference? Of course he wouldn't make a [censored] difference lol.. we all knew that. But he was fully fit and a gar better option then a cooked McDonald which you're completely missing the point as usual.

You also need the next wave of talent coming through. Bringing in 1 kid in the top 30 and then topping up the rest with NQR's isn't smart list management at all. Midfield and backline talent is completely bare. We've drained midfield depth with the loss of Jordon, Harmes and Dunstan. Woewodin is the only midfield young talent coming through. Had an opportunity to top up on some up and coming outside wingman and class through the draft and yet we continue to neglect this side of our list. I'm not completely writing off our our strategy so far this trade period, but on face value it's confusing. Lets not forget also that the last few years of list management decisions haven't been great either over the trade period.

Yes because we had a ruckman with a broken toe and then flat out refused to sub in a tall (Schache) for a absolute crook Tom McDonald 🤣 Zero point having bringing these type of players in if you are flat out refusing to play them when opportunity presents themselves due to injury as it did in this instance.

Yep. Great runs with the Grundy, Dunstan and Schache pick ups...

So much for bringing in a number of talent through the door...

Hey @Stiff Arm, remember when@drysdale demon got really defensive and had a crack at both of us mid year for suggesting that there was a slight chance Grundy could be traded out and he completely shut it down by stating he was contracted so it was impossible? That was funny... 🤣

I'm just not up to scratch with the whole Elon stuff. No offence taken from my end?

Yeah don't know how I feel about this to be honest. Giving up a fair bit to just 3 spots down.

I'm confused by this attempted humour?
