58er

I wouldn't be gifting games as that's why we are inconsistent and soft as a result. Its a different matter if players are playing well but they are not even fit enough or in form. One hard bump vs a skill is covered by the whole team being more aggressive and physical in its approach.

When will you admit ANB has basically failed and is not out of position. You are inventing your own Opinion to suit your argument. You haven't give the figures of ANB and comparing one's first season only is not fair anyway. Most Dees fans don't agree with you and he won't be an on baller and will be lucky to play 7/10 games this year.

Yes but you don't sacrifice your40/50 goal scorer Gun for the wing.!!! Fritta is far too valuable as a third or fourth option in attack. Once Rosman gets going he will get his chance and IMO take it!

DrD I actually are reading form from our match vs Tigers. There was a distinct difference in our game plan and aggression as I indicated above. And Gale and Balme astute observers noticed also our much quicker and slick movement of the ball. That was of OUR doing nothing to do with how the Tigers played. Regarding players to return Jetta won't make it as he is too slow Melky is only a 50/50 chance of that for Round1 ( I wouldnt entertain him On form let alone fitness after 2 underwhelming years). Both Viney snd Brayshaw are When playing well fast enough with our game plan and BBB is a fast on a lead. Whst about Hibbo is he too slow ? Thsts a very good reason why Kossie will be selected in any case. BTW about 15/20 goals will be a good reward if Kossie plays all season! PS How many goals has ANB kicked in his career vs games??

What strikes me now is that we are getting closer to building a very solid and across each line number of footballers who are all in their own way hit many talents and attributes. Now it's up to the Coaches to develop and unite this talent into a TEAM that can start imposing and impacting its considerable will on opponents. Dont know how long it might take but I firmly believe there are a lot of the jigsaw puzzles in the box. As I say don't know how long the journey will be but I am sure hitchin'along for the ride. Jske is as integral player in this team.

Sorry DRD but you notice a friend losing weight if you only see them every 3 months but not so much if you do every week. Clearly in pace and ball movement our effort last Friday vs Tiges was a level above that effort on our last MCG clash just before the Hub commencement. Thst has nothing to do with what effort the opposition puts out. And as judges over the period I would trust Balmy and Gale in these comments. Lets see if we look fast vs Dogs on Monday.

Would like Petty for Tommo and Bowey for Hunty but perhaps Monday may take Care of that.

2018 not 2028!!

No but I have clearly stated my view on the "heroes of 2018" including Jets Vanders Melky ANB and am of the opinion because of their age and Real lack of form and genuine contribution since are facing uphill battles To be included in our team going forwarded. Even you would have to admit that none of those four players have improved and indeed through form and injury Have along with some other players not developing are responsible fir our disastrous campaign in 2019 And inconsistent 2020 season. For us to Move forward and improve I Firmly believe our development is clearly in the hands of the 2019 and 2020 draftees and trade acquisitions and 23-26 year olds improvement like Trac last season. Any opportunities for the "30 Yo brigade" I see as depth mainly unless a dramatic change in form and confidence appears In their football. This is a great position if it returns as a fall back situation. There is so much potential in our youth that I am expecting a spike in form and confidence which could push us into Finals and who knows what might evolve. We can only dream of 2028 and an even happier result!

Don't mind Hibbo also in mix after a good year in 2020.

We need 2 smalls in the team especially if Melky and Vanders are not fit or in firm.

Vanders is so far off fitness and form he could not on any basis be selected.

No don't agree Hibberd or maybe Sparrow. Not sure myself really.

Would have all three in the team !!!

Thanks Macca Don't want Tommy Near the wing Need him up Forward I reckon LJ can get the ball wherever it is. Yes it's a complete unknown what our position will be in 2021 but I am certain it's going to be higher than 2020.

If all our A graders like Trac Clarry Max and near A BB and Fritta some mids and Langers plus one small forward stars eg Kossie then we are a real chance to carry the role players along on a real journey.On the forward line and succeed with good or even large scores.

That's the problem Nev is too slow now IIMO and Locky was not great but Bowey was in the B game last Friday. Try Bowey on Mon vs Dogs. All players are needed to be ready and on the ball from the first bounce on Mon and Round1. Dont think Hibbo has gone enough and Melky needs a run or two in the VFL to get him ripe for the season and into Some form.

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!!!
