Crumbers not climbers!!

That's because Goody refuses to select a small back pocket type back men and most mids are not quick enough to go with these smart crumbing players. He abandoned Lockhart Halfway through last year and stopped his development now ha has a choice of him agsin maybe Bowey which is a tall order but I don't know whether Riv has the small backs smarts in pace etc to do the job On these climbers. Might be ok for Walters As he is bigger.

You are ignoring the story of our forward line since 2018 DS We have had multiple entries in but poor conversion from those. Did you see A snapshot of improvement from last Friday's practice match With greater disposal slicker ball movement and better crumbing and leading patterns plus newbie Kade Chandler an improved Spargs a resurgent Tmac plus Gawny going forward now and again and Fritta looking more assured in conversion. Thats without BBB Weid Kossie maybe Melkshake plus any new recruits from the 2020 draft. it's all about maturity a better game plan and more versatile players and development from younger draftees of last two years Probsbly doesnt mean we will have a bad day or two but more options is a great improvement.

And sometimes worse!!!

Long suffering The four for Ben was for him to start running at 4 weeks so 6 was never the time based on that initial advice. More like 8/10 . Sam was 10/12 weeks from Day 1 Which may indicate he is doing ok but Ben May be a bit behind it seems. I think we all should be mindful of just what Goody has said re VFL and also it may not be the absolute body blow it first seemed depending upon Tmac M.Brown form and fitness. Jacko Majak and Kye Eclase.Plus our new found mix of smalls and Fritta as supporting acts. Clearly we are looking at it long term rather than short which means we still believe we will expect to compete and win say 3/4 ( or more) out of our first 6.

Not sure but BBB should be ready to start running about now,

But u miss the point DrD There are no guarantees for immediate or long term performances fir high draft positions and you should Understand this. They are all footballers and human beings and are not robots. The NMFC recruits after 3/4 preseason is not a snap shot of all their regular form once the real games start. You are placing too much pressure on high draft picks especially if they don't look good immediately Or are not up to your expectations.

Covid May have Ben Gibson only 3 days a week 2 We don't know but can ask I guess.

John Time to get over IsaacSmith. NEver had him won't miss him !! Mark my words Fraser Rosman will Be there when the whips are cracking with Choco and Ooze guiding him. We are getting a list of solid and fast running players with skills which will stand us in good stead.

What is he playing up forward now ? Thought he was recruited by Cats for his run and penetration from the wing to kick to the forwards !! Thats what We were after when we were after him I am certain. I think you are vastly overplaying his role and he is already injured. While Rosman was ordinary last Friday I have faith he is the right recruit fir this time as we will get a decade of excellence from him on the MCG wing and occasionally cameoing up forward. I look forward to him being There as one of our best when we get that 13 th flag. There is no guarantee Smith would have been.

Is that your Real view or are you just being mischievous?

One would have to establish it being the best of the 6 flags In the glory years then compare with the single ones in 1900 1926 and 1948 and also the three peat in 1939,40 and 41. There wasn't much difference in the1955 56 57 59 and 60 teams and 64 was an end of successful era one that is a bonus for us. If a reunion was not achieved last year of the 1960 flag then I would encourage it to be held during this season.

Sorry DD You have picked out all Kossies little faults as a 19 yo player with years ahead of an exciting future. And at the same time are ignoring the repeated weaknesses with ANB explaining he is played out of position . I am certain there are Many more Dees fans like me who are tired of ANB's continual skill errors and unfulfilled potential. Those that criticised Jack Watts amaze me when ANB seems to be just put up with and tolerated. As you say it's all about expectations and Jack and you now with Kossie make first rounders free game Because of this. When it's all said and done after you join a Club your Draft pick no. Is irrelevant as to your ability. You may earn more of course snd that's what it's you so you unfairly criticise these early draftees for IMO.

He will be like Trac if he can play like last Friday, free from criticism and an A grader leading this Club. Has enormous leadership potential. Really don't know why Jake, Maysie Trac Gus Langers and Clarry aren't in the leadership group to keep them all together . They deserve it. Well done Jake onwards and upwards.

Boy Rufus you haven't even started Pouring into the glass yet. mite no good we are-a basket case IMO we will be ahead of all those Clubs you mentioned this year and will a flag before them! Oh and win the hot dog eating contest that another poster referred to!!!

To mobile and flexible for Weid type. Runs freer and is far more versatile.

How have Carlton gone past us on the field Rufus. Last time I looked we finished 9 th and they were 11 th and we won 2 more games and beat them in2020. Anyong that says we didn't look aggressive and determined on Friday hasn't played sport at any level!!! Let alone top level. Saints are ahead as last year made finals and got a Win! Who knows this year Wrll see soon at Marvel I Round2 !

Not really Would need to win a Final or two I would think.

Thanks IHW But my opinion is that there are a lot of positive changes with recruiting development andCoaching positions. There is no doubt that Goody will not survive with all this happening if we only end up 8-10th. Also Bartlett has him in his sights with the 4 year plan. Not to make the Finals this year with the improvements I have outlined will lead to Ooze replacing him. I am wondering even now how he is tracking or is he just wAiting for selection and game day for nothing to change except our game plan which isn't a bad start really. I am confident this won't happen By the way.

Yes Kossie needs a finishing course and that's Choco's job. Don't really see ANB as a mid he has ordinary skills hand and foot is not super strong and finishes his goal snap shots poorer Than all of our players. Hunt I jus think is jack of all trades and master of none so we keep him for depth and may be run off the backline today but goal sneaking at HF tomorrow !!

That maybe short naming or editing??

RU counting 2017 ? Not below average What is below our average? And each year deserves to be assessed on its own. Blind Harry the Miner can see our list and depth is 25% better and coaching at least that again. Also our game plan looked credible and much faster on Friday. Oh sorry you can't See this development Bandi let's just wait and see then.
