Look, if having him on the list costs virtually nothing with a low value extension then sure, he’s the depth we always need in that part of the ground. But if another team offers us anything for him, and we can trade into a player of similar size the I say take the bloody deal and be done with it. Watching Cumberland last night makes me really keen to see JVR soon, I dare say he’s our answer to this problem right now.

Nice call on the smashing of freo @binman

Kozzie ain’t going anywhere. And you can take that to the bank. AFL journalism has become so contrived and meaningless that I really can’t follow any of it anymore.

Flagmantle 😂😂😂

Pretty confident today. Reckon Brayshaw will play his [censored] off. Dee’s by plenty

How are all the panic merchants who assured us he was on the way out doing today?

We saved our absolute best for September last year. Why can't we do that again this year?

I fully expect us to start hitting our straps and getting back to our best footy starting very soon. We all but have our best 22 on the park now excluding Tmac. Hopefuly it starts on Saturday. I think its very likely we've gone through some sort of uplift in training loads at some point recently, and it will serve us well this September as it did last year.

May has been fine. Salem and Gawn definitely

Might be time to accept that Goody does not share your view of significantly changing our forward structure pre finals

Not sure why people have an issue with Tommo out. He played very well last week but Petty is an upgrade no matter what way you look at it.

Don't think this would get in the way of someone's career aspirations to be a senior coach ...

Took the 4 in a trot really. Let’s build on it boys

I don’t get why people think Gus is out the door? What is that based on? Purely a delayed contract negotiation or am I missing something?

This is such a horrible take …

Either you’re right, or a professional football department that took us to a flag last year is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Please elaborate

I’m not sure you understand the difference between VFL and AFL.

Time for DL to accept the fact we won’t see JVR until next year. And rightfully so. The age of blooding promising young forwards in important games died with Jack Watts. JVR will not solve the issues we have up forward right now. The best we can hope for is that he keeps developing at his current trajectory. And next year he will play a big part in our campaign if he does.

🤦‍♂️

Fight amongst yourself all you like, there’s no way our club touches him with a ten foot pole. Culture is more important than short term success, believe it or not. Our club has rich ties with the indigenous community. Bringing in Walker for a few short years would be an insult to indigenous players past and present. Would be absolutely astonished if the board and Goodwin would do this. I’d rather back JVR in for the short term than bringing a player that says the things Tex has said in recent history.

Best thing I’ve read on DL in a long time. Bravo

As an engineer, I believe if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet

Who cares, we won
