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.
