It's not just what we do it's what we stop the opposition doing and rightly " the team at the bounce " all get due credit in that best 17 minutes of rolled gold Demon magic footy " we will never forget. Someone mentioned Gus in the third Qr and I had the great pleasure of him playing on my seating location wing at deep in ground level at Optus that day. Yes he was pivotal but his form in 2022 at half back was just as good but I just have the impression he has more team impact from the wing than half back as far as our forward line goes. I believe we should be maniac about getting Salem Bowey Hunter even Lingers and any good disposer JJ as long as he moves the ball quicker to our forwards in the team to make us a better link up with the "newish forward line " hopefully with Petty JVR a fit Tmac and fitter BBB plus the smalls and Fritta whatever mix is selected. This is vital in our improvement.

Yes that's the go and a brick in the wall for the Flag. Also proves Goody and cohorts have looked at 2022 snd are serious for change enough to bridge the gulf on Cats 5/7 goal scoring ability on every other 17 Club in the AFL in 2022. We can handle small or moderate improvements in Swans Pies Dogs Tigers ( a little more than moderate for Lions and Port ) but Cats are another case again. Ruck is also very important in this scenario and far too many "experts" can't get their head around how Brodie can make us a better side. Simple he's a better footballer at 29 than Jacko at 20 and about as near him in style we will get other than Biclavs who is the existing Jacko who is making all Clubs life miserable with his mobility and versatility around the ball and ground. We must develop some pressure on ball for Geelong to enable us to at worst break even in the packs.

We never should not consider some rejects from delisted Lists of the other 17 Clubs. We D/Lers do however look and post hopefully just like a hungry person would raid the rubbish bins all along your front nature strips. Touch of the real desperates!! Never stop trying.

But under AFL rules it's a match counted for all 23 Rd players having played or not. Years ago Smithy did not use a20 th player yet he is in the Melb team as flag winner. So clearly JJ gets his ring and deserves it.

Are you saying that Toby Jacko and Kossie in the same house was a major issue? As in mates? Or whst ? Are you agreeing with Willmoy? Orhis WA mates bring missed in Vic?

Only a premiership and being trained by the Brayshaws beforehand and no public trouble at the house betw Toby Kossie and Jacko. You are blaming or alluding to the house mix as the potential culprit for Jacko wanting to go back home!! Jacko seriously is the type of guy that missed his family and his mates. This mix will be interesting and also whether he stays at his house in the suburbs with mates or alone!!

You are kidding about Gus, who is an A grader with rare versatility and in top 5 of B and F. We are not Hawthorn moulding a Flag from a masters Mess!!

Didn't want to go any where but Cattery.

Cutler on a wing or HB or HF might be a chance Generally a longish kick and accurate also. Think he is around or under 25 so good upside if he grabs his chance.

Did you deliberately pick JV because SS will remember his great tackle/ bump on Jack in the 2019 Anzac Eve game which put him out of business for a while. Stack May ask for Trac or Ollie or Hibbo on that basis TEIN, having seen Jack off already.

Dazzle what you are not happy with can be changed with training and coaching. Not all players tick all boxes they after all are only 17/18/19 in most cases.

That's first time this pressure issue has been mentioned for Jefferson. Sounds like he was injured a bit like some of our players were in the last half of the season. That is changeable in any case with good coaching.

If he wants to fly under the radar then he would be best not on TikTok.

Mark McVeigh would be the best.

All the best Sam sorry it didn't quite work out like we all wanted. Good luck you deserve it and thanks for your efforts.

Very truthful Deec. That window has been slightly further unlocked with this trade period. Very nice pickings And a couple of green shoots to come!!

So true LN snd add Tmac if fit to that mix and it's a scary proposition all defences face when you add the icing and all the mixof the hundreds and thousands that need minding. A weakness becomes a strength.!!' Suddenly.

Tigers now have too or so many other options in classy small mids and flankers any warts are optional and chosen now to be delisted.

They also with their recent midsize on all flanker style recruiting be very choosy who they retained. Dimma has had his say that Tigers have had too many variables on their list. Risk vs Reward ? Maysie Big tick flag and cup!! Bennell Great try but fail Tommy Bugg Half a tick then a fail Lachie Hunter 28 snd should be a big tick flag and cup twice achiever and driver. Kossie Adapted for an 18 yo to Melb city life as much as can be expected. Keep on going with the support big time.Massive tick hug and a flag and cup and more to come. Gawnie Years of hard work but let's be honest he made a choice to be a legend plus a bloody good player. Champion with 3 ticks and hopefully 3 Flags and 3 Cups. Very rare air!!! (RDB Tulip and Stynes say hi welcome Maxy!!) Lets give Sydney some TLC and Demon Culture and he might help deliver a package ( Flag and Cup)

Has 8 years of life learning ahead of Jacko. And footy training also!

That defeats the whole purpose of strengthening the forward line Not enough improvement from last year other than Tmac and JVR which might be ok but I don't think so. With Maxy and Brodie plus the 3 forwards JVR Tmac and Petty the 5 interchanges should work as Maxy needs to spend time down back also.

It's at night and very little humidity yet in SEQld weather.

Could do a lot better Stark even with baggage a far better player and a match winner. Remember his hit ( tackle) on Vines on Anzac Eve 2019 !

All the best Oscar thanks fir all your efforts and good luck in your next chapter of your career and life.

Really another year suddenly makes us look like the Cats!!! Depends upon how they play. But worried we are keeping Melky as younger players may have been better option but JT knows this years strength and depth, Once the pre season is over will be very interesting on how many of our younger recruits are really ready for AFL other than JVR. Good Trade choices means both Hunter and Grundy are locks for our best team and Chandler the next best performed ( with Dunstan and possibly Tommo ) to make the team. We are still right into the Flag window more than ever but need fitness and selection to be sharper to back up form and keep all on their toes in 2023.
