I'd like Trac to make an appearance in 2025 first

IN: Lever, Turner, Windsor, Pickett, Jeffo (!) OUT: McDonald, AJ, Lindsay, Howes, Hendo FB: Rivers May Petty HB: Salem Lever Windsor C: Langdon Langford Billings HF: Pickett Turner Petracca FF: Chandler JVR Fritsch R: Gawn Oliver Viney I/C: Bowey Sharp Jefferson Sparrow SUB: Melksham

Can I have 1 x best 22 with and 1 x best 22 without Clazz so I can best analyse the situation

Chip da ball in da backline heaps

Blue collar Bont

Goody would have debuted Clarry as sub if he had his chance again

Must've been a compelling week of development between round 2 and round 3 for him. Still can't over his sub debut and being dropped shortly after.

Agree Amateur hour

Our biggest issue has been not being able to attract any solid free agents during the 2021-2023 seasons, not necessarily stars but solid best 22 players to fill in the gaps. Given we haven't been able to do that, packaging up picks every year has hurt our depth.

Give Kyah Farris White our regards PF!!

We might need them to lose by 700 to keep us out of the medija!

Have the Cats been caught being $5mill over the cap or something CD?

Practice game level of intensity displayed, like they had checked out On the plus side, Langford looks a champion

AJ looks like a solid depth option which is positive but our foward trio should be Jeffo, Turner with JVR fwd/ruck Gotta play Jeffo (once back from injury) & Turner for the entire year to see what they've got We felt a tall short against the Suns

Reckon at full strength we still have a good maybe even very good best 22 even with the regression of some snr players. Once Windsor, Kozz, Lever, McVee come back Goodie probs gets 4-6 weeks to turn things round but it seems like the players have already checked out

Spargo will get a new deal, Adams is contracted till 2026 isn't he

No doubt. But the Pies didn't have a good young group of players to build around at the time (still don't) they bottomed out, we do (I think). Might not be a Nick Daicos in our group but we're not starting from ground zero. Pies rebounded quickly, we can too but we might need to extract a fair bit of value from a Petracca come end of year.

White may look at today and think there's no chance he gets a game at the Suns ;)!

I think the 2 first rounder stuff for Petty was a myth..

Probably need to turn Trac + Kozz into 4 first round picks

Parallels with Collingwood 2021 when they finished bottom 4 & Buckley left Funnily enough they didn't have a 1st round pick that year either
