i want a couple talls to develop, a key defender to sit 4th in line where joel smith is now coz he is probably out the door and a forward to move past tmac, mbrown and daw. this is where mac andrews would be so ideal. then its the wing spot that we've been struggling with followed by a HB flanker who can intercept given hore's injury history and nev/hibbos age

nah just given vanders a 2-3 year extention ;P harmsey will be back soon and kozzy is adding by the month atm u just can't see them too well also gawny hides his under his shin guard if he leaves its for the pies imo

3 very average players, 3 non premiership contending players, Lipinski, ERichards, Zerrett would be my gettable options

almost consider managing jackson this week and playing tmac, bbrown and weid and then next week assuming tmac might struggle against the tiges drop him for jacko and i think thats our ideal tall set up

adelaides is hot, the white one with the tricolour through the chest and the crow silhouette also the brisbane heritage clash with the white and the maroon v with the old lion and sydneys SM away jumper are spectacular too

6 Gawn 5 Oliver 4 TMac 3 Langdon 2 Petracca 1 pickett

IN: BBrown, Weid OUT: MBrown, Jordon (stiff) jones is only hanging on due to the media surrounding 300 -301 might be some time away

vdb ??? Ceglar, Kosi, TOB+ breust on the lead, yes very small

i think he'll leave, bombers are a sinking ship but i'd rather tippa if we were to nab a don and in terms of a winger i'd prefer lipinski for the value he'd provide in a trade and on the wage bill for similar input and an upwards trajectory (only 23)

definitely not an RFA, he's just a FA so no ability to match but can't see him wanting to go anywhere or any clubs really throwing any more coin at him than we'll offer as he's a pretty bog standard next tier midfielder which every club would have developing on their list already, i'd still expect an upgrade to the senior list tho

anyone who thinks BBB is not in our best 22 as a walk up is kidding themselves. he could still kick 60 goals this season, two injuries in an 8 year career doesnt make u injury prone. and yes, i believe he'll get up for the tiges

Mac Andrew hasn't made the first draft board I’ve seen by twitter user @edpascoe_edps

well summed up, ykb

no, he's not the present nor the future of this football club, tbh i'm not seeing what everyone else is so far this year but maybe i watch him too closely looking for his mistakes but given the fact he's on 700k and GCS current shortage of depth forwards im hoping we can ship off the best part of 500 of that - they get an upgrade on Day/Burgess/corbett to support Bking and we get him off our books with one of majak/mbrown to continue in the depth role going forward with LJ and then bradtke/andrews developing behind the current first choice duo

just out of curiosity how many of those mates did u have?

wouldn't quite call tmac a reversal in form just yet

except you didn't come to demonland for that content ;) ... but we did and we love it

Best 22 B: Lever May Jetta HB: Salem Tomlinson Rivers C Langdon Viney Brayshaw HF: Fritsch Weideman Spargo F: Pickett BBrown ANB R: Gawn Oliver Petracca IC Harmes Jackson Hunt Jordon S Jones E Melksham Sparrow Petty Hibberd

still think we threw gysberts out too soon, however i'm a big fan of what pedo did during his time so im willing to let it go this time

just our luck really, fingers crossed he slips as the year goes on, couldn't come at a better time with Majak, TMac and MBrown all the wrong side of 30 or playing like they are anyways ?

any relation to Harry ;) May and Jordon (sub) --> Petty and Sparrow for mine

very quietly

VFL side named: B Rosman MBrown Lockhart HB Hibberd JSmith White C Baker Munro Petty HF Chandler Weideman Bowey FF DSmith BBrown Bedford R Daw vandenBerg Bradtke IC Laurie Foot Quigley Lewis Freeman Grey E Sparks Ellison so by my maths melky is the carryover and only pissible change/sub

no change.

the flipside which no one seems to have acknowledged including dimma is what happens when for example richmond loan out RCD and Thomson Dow to a NM/carlton or whatever and that player plays 22 games that season and the senior coach says how would u like to join on permanently heres a 3yr deal and ur clearly in the 22 as you proved this season, now you've just generated a process that allows you to have your youngsters tapped up and stolen undoing any previous developmental work you've put into them and setting u back as it always eventually catches up with you - see gws who consistantly lost players 23-27 each season meaning players 30-35 are now 4th year players who are not at the level required for senior footy but have been granted season upon season due to exits in the fringe bracket above them year on year.
