That’s a serious list, where did all the stars go?

We’ve beaten the bottom 4, a depleted Essendon and an injury riddled Crows after a slog in the wet. I remain excited but let’s not get too carried away

Roos said publicly we would’ve taken Billing’s from memory

From 1990...

Forgot Jake Lever

Peter Vardy

Daniel Cross Fabian Francis Joel Macdonald Jeff Garlett Mitch Clark Damien Gaspar? Troy Longmuir?

Was a massive Powell fan back in the day

Lets start a list of players we've recruited from other clubs, I'll kick off with a short list, some names popped up today I did'nt realise. Byron Pickett Gary Moorcroft Clint Bizzel Brent Moloney Shannon Motlop Shannon Byrnes Craig Nettlebeck Scott Chisholm Martin Pike Bernie Vince Jordan Lewis Phillip Read Marcus Seecamp?

15-7/17-5 range inbound.

Many kids are turning to soccer and other sports so the figures dont equate to more people playing AFL, country leagues all across the country are either folding or merging, that to me is the telling factor, grass roots footy has been neglected for too long. Just because we have a higher population doesnt mean the talent is better/same, for all we know they may be people from other countries moving here and not playing. Grass roots is the key factor IMO

Exactly

AFL needs help and an 18 team competition is ludicrous, talent is spread too thin hence the rubbish we watch every weekend. Greed took control at AFL headquarters, now they just try and patch everything up on the run.

Or even better, merge the two QLD clubs. No way they both survive long term

Carey backed us hard last year, probably due to his friendship with Jesse and we burnt him (and ourselves) in the final round, can understand his lack of trust.

yep very poor effort

The way we are playing will excite the AFL also, it's good on the eyes, exciting and would attract an audience, unlike for eg Sydney or StKilda of old.

Nathan Brown?

Port and Swans I reckon, Geel too if they keep dishing up their current rubbish.

Need to win next two and snatch both Adel and WCE away would be just beautiful.

Just did again for fun after current form, 2nd to 4th seems to be where we are headed.

Doesn’t the salary cap increase by a fair bit over coming years also? Think we have room for at least one maybe two stars to be recruited

They dont normally pick two ruckmen but I think Gawn deserves the ruck spot with Grundy on the bench
