The greatest player or bet would be for Harry Petty to lock down a key forward post all season. He is good and big enough to be a match winner with Tmac JVR BBB and Fritta at their best. His growth on the forward line would far outway any marginal improvement down back. Disco Tommo Smithy and Tmac can go there even JVR if needed as cameos. Disco also as a great improvement snd Riv to get over his injury and have his best season plus Bowser is ready to fire after another preseason and stronger body. I also believe Chandler if given the opportunity will surprise and deliver .

Please outline what improvements Clarry can make to improve himself and us . If you are mocking this question as I suspect you are not really funny!

Depends if you feel that is a benefit for some players as a step to AFL. Brodie has enough base on his AFL learnings to be at a consistently greater level than Jacko in tapping marking shepherding and match awareness along with a tandem operation with Maxy. He should provide a further step in our midfield with our mids and embrace the opportunity of playing up forward or down back as our system demands or needs. Jacko has such mobility clever ball play and movement and is cool under pressure and while Brodie has not starred in those categories I don't think he will be an embarrassment in our midfield. He is a cool customer and he is ready for a new start in our team which can assist us in starting to control the game with both big ruckman playing a vital role all over the ground.

A USA mum!!!

Yes Mac I think it's JJ not playing aggressively and our flow game plan and lack of movement that combines and completely destroys momentum. Thats Goody's and the coaches job to solve that. Pretty simple really. JJ is good enough to carry out this new plan of speed.

Agree Ollie not just think but play on from a mark if possible

My team is lining up differently INS Bowey Turner OUTS ANB Hibbo. Lever May Rivers Brayshaw Turner Salem Langdon Pretracca Hunter Chandler Petty Fritsch Pickett Van Rooyen T MacDonald. Gawn Viney Oliver Int Grundy Bowey Harmes Sparrow Emerg Neal-Bullen Hibbard Jordan Dunstan. Others Schache Laurie Spargo Woewoden Tomlinson Note Very flexible lineup if Goody only would use this to his advantage.

What ignored ? No he actually when you think about it he should be a first class improvement on Spargs who plays a role but name one thing he does and try and say Bowser couldn't nearly double everything to the betterment of the team as well. Seems a no brainer to me Bowser should be trialled at HFFlank. He won't be ignored he will get the ball and use it more times than Spargs.

Salem was injured !!

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!!
