Soon enough I'll look back on 2020 as the good old days of hard footy, similar to how I looked back to the 80's and 90's in 2020. How depressing is that.

What all these commentators seem to be missing is the fact Gawn probably only has a good year or 2 left in him as the primary ruck, at which point Brody will take the helm while Gawn spends his twilight years up forward.

Could have been a great player Sam. We'll never see it though.

Rivers is having an unbelievable season. His signature will be as important as anyone's when he's contract is up

Out: Petty, Spargo In: Chandler, Smith

How good is jarred rivers

Frothing for an update on this thread

Met Sophie in WA in 2013 (or 2014 cant exactly remember), she was great company!

Wouldn’t the point be that we would be expecting to see an increase in his output after a few seasons rather than a plateau?

I’m sure they’ve watched Brisbane play at the MCG since forever

Petracca appears to be dropping the ball far too high. Easy fix I reckon

Embarrassing performance. Just pathetic. I'm ready for Hardwick now ...

Can we please trade Harmes, he is an absolute liability

Couple of same game multi job applications. And remember Nathan, apply for jobs responsibly.

I was speaking for myself. You must have noticed I used the term “I’m absolutely willing” and not “we’re” Very clever observation detective

That's a price I'm absolutely willing to pay to see the end of gambling advertisements

You have serious issues, dude Just wow

Gawn had Luke Jackson rucking a lot in our flag year ...

A slump in form doesn't necessarily warrant a change tactics/coaching strategy, which was my initial point.

With all due respect, what might need to change is your perception of how effective forward lines actually function in 2023 and what yields the best results based on our personnel. I won't fully dismiss it, but I'm not sure this is necessarily a forward coaching issue.

we've kicked the 5th most goals in the comp this year, calm down

Moneyball theory probably suggests the dump kick yields better returns I'm guessing. Our drop in scoring likely correlates with our small forwards drop in form.

This comment still holds up well

Why do we continually be referred to as the best midfield in the comp when none of the stats back that up whatsoever? We are ranked 10th for clearances in the comp, and only 3rd for hit outs with supposedly the two best ruckman in the game. Any talk of our midfield being anything but average is complete rubbish.

Well this is embarrassing. Embarrassing enough for me to post in a game day thread for the first time ever.
