Whilst I agree it is puzzling, it's hard to fully understand/judge without knowledge of the soft cap and the wiggle room.

I don't think its a long bow tbh, they took a calculated risk which didnt work out. I'd much rather we kept up with Jayden as opposed to the Hunter route. He'd probably be getting a game over Sharp if he was still here, still have some hope that Sharp can develop though.

So here is a query for the demonland, Our Forwards seemingly do well in the VFL but struggle in the AFL. Is it primarily because of the gameplan/connection or do you think our list has a bunch of forwards who are too good for VFL but not quite hitting the high standards of the AFL?

It’s a little hard to judge Spargo after one quarter, he didn’t really do anything, but then most of the team ghosted that 4th quarter

not possible with his cooking videos

0-8

Not sure we'll see too much of him when McVee/Kolt/X back. He's been serviceable but was a ghost last night

Onya. Please report back, hopefully with a positive review

Given they have 2 F/S picks and a NGA in the next draft, will curious to see how they approach their list/additions/departures this year.

I know Stats don't tell the entire picture but his kicking efficiency so far this season is 59%, his career average is 56.2%. Will watch him with particular focus tonight.

Clarry an interesting one, racked up 30+ disposals in the last 2 games without really imposing himself on the game. Hoping they both have blinders tonight

Trac started brightly with 6 coaches votes in Round 1 but he is down on some career averages. I dont think Clarry has been that bad, collectively our midfield/gameplan struggles has made them look worse individually.

Seems the robot did it's part but the humans did not perhaps

They need something to talk about Step 1 - Nonsense Filler Step 2 - Weekend Games Step 3 - Fall out from Games Step 4 - Return to Step 1

Tipping related - on the AFL website 2% of people have tipped Melbourne, assume all 2% are Melbourne supporters (myself included) Deelusional?

Arsenal also have too many defensive midfielders and can struggle to create at times if their sole creative midfielder is having an off day. They also don't have a prolific Centre-Forward. Familiar scenes

Still curious if theyd consider M.Reid and a nice Pick for Kozzie.

Just depressingly from a short term POV, we could be 0-5 by the time they're all back in the team. (Also could be 2-3 etc but I am scared and sad etc)

Good thing i'm not on a Manchester Untied forum as well tbh

Smart to send it before we play down in Geelong though aha

McVee a big out for this reason, hopefully Miers/Stengle dont have a field day.

Agreed his form hasn't been ideal, but even last week he could have kicked a couple of goals, still had a decent amount of score involvements etc. Not sure a spell in the 2s will get him to drastically change the way he plays the game, as frustrating as that may be for some. He'd go down to Casey kick a bag and then come back the same player.

at least he can't kick it to himself at every opportunity like the rest of the team do.

Me watching our midfield the last 2 weeks Somebody's gotta set the tone out there boys, somone's gotta F-word set it!

The article does say that a lot of hawks are over performing their contract value.
