Nah, we desperately need him down back in my opinion.

Fair view mate. Would you agree though that we couldn't have Weids, T-Mac and preuss in the same forward line though?

Interesting take, I respectfully disagree. However I completely get what your saying. I'm happy for them to keep tinkering with the forward line until they find something that works. interested to see what they do. Preuss might even have to come in for Gawn depending on his ankle.

Are people forgetting what Tim Smith has done in his last couple of games? He should've kicked 5 against Freo on Luke Ryan (poor kicking cost him) Admittedly he wasn't very good on the weekend but I'd be keeping him in. We can't have T-Mac, Weids and Preuss in the same team I don't think.

Lever will come in for Petty, I like Petty, beaten by a better player yesterday and like most of our defence needs to clean up his kicking. However I think we've got a good player for the future. I'd also bring in JKH for either Hannan or Baker. The only other player I'd consider bringing in is Jordan Lewis. Just not sure where I'd play him.

I'm the same, Wiz said on I think it was DeeBrief that his choice was Melbourne for Kobe in terms of Father son!

Surely you don't think he's slow? Kent also said he wanted more midfield time, something we couldn't offer him and something he hasnt ended up getting at St Kilda, maybe he has a [censored] tank? You couldn't see how important Vanders was last season?

AVB is an extremely important player for us. Their was evidence of that when he played in our side last year. Hopefully our new fitness guy can get him right, because I'm not sure if Mission can. I reckon he'd be on 300 - 350k a year. Kent wanted to leave so doubt it had anything to do with that.

Does Corey Maynard get another contract?

He's not listed as injured though? Hopefully he's feeling alright up stairs?

I Agree mate, watched him play a few games down back before he got drafted and looked much more suited to that role.

Can see where your coming from in regards to Trac, However I think we need to lower our expectations of him. Having a knee reco at a young age wouldn't of helped his development and unfortunately we've now discovered he doesn't have the tank to play in the middle. This will effect his disposal numbers. He hasn't been his best this year no doubt, but he's doing some really key things in our forward line which stacks up well against the comp. - Leading the comp for ground ball gets inside fwd 50, something we really lack from other players. - 6th in the comp for goal assists. - 14th for tackles inside fwd 50 (highest demon) Hopefully he can clean up his goal kicking and have a big second half of year.

I like Sam Day, surprised to see him not play for Gold Coast. Can be injury prone though.

Heard he's been magnificent internally, particularly with the younger players. Hope he stays on in a coaching capacity.

I'm not sure of the appeal either, maybe the coin? He wanted to come play in his home state Richmond offered him the cash so he's taken it. From what I know his parents are the caterers for the club and also life long supporters. However do we have enough cap space? Probably not and also we don't have a first round pick in this years draft to offer like Richmond do.

I'd prefer Grimes.

I also think he would be a good addition to our coaching list. I have mates who play at Adelaide they didn't rate him very highly as a coach, hence why he probably got the sack in the end. However I saw him interviewed not long after the sacking and he openly admitted that he had " a lot of areas that he needed to improve on" in terms of his coaching. After that interview I thought he would definitely coach again! Hopefully he's improved some areas and can help our young list. If he gets the job!

Do we think some players are playing for there careers in the VFL Finals??? In saying that I think Michie & White are 100% gone. Terlich also. It really depends who Goodwin likes oppose to who Roos likes. I just wonder when they will announce weather it be in the coming weeks or after VFL finals???

I think Lennon still needs game time before we can truly value his worth, has shown us that he has talent however there has to be a reason other then injury that has prevented him from more game time in the last two seasons. I'd rather see us persist with Garlett, Kennedy, Kent, Harmes, JKH, Vanders and Petrecca. If we were to get a high Half Forward or a Small Forward I'd rather see us go for someone with a lot more pace.
