58er

Spargo deserves the time as he is a clever footballer who uses the ball and generally tackles well. Does need to be more consistent but I believe his upside is good enough in his 4 th year to give him this year to improve further. 10 disposals from him are more useful than the same fir Hannan AVB ANB ( different style of player admittedly ) and Bedford ( at this stage). Kossie is of course the pick of the smalls.

Demons need to sit down with Clarry like they did with Trac and sort this out. Tjis would be almost like Barassi switching Clubs and the draft does not Warrant the Abandoning of 5 years of recruiting. Cripps would be the only player I would trade fir Clarry if this was to eventuate. Club has to stand up and see what Clarry has to say and solve. Mahoney ( this season) and Goodwin ( at end of season) won't survive this If it happens. It will rip the heart out of the Club. Clarry has to realise that he is part of a team and not just an individual playing his game.

Why ????

It's in the head not technique and Bayley could slo bulk up etc and msybe smile and enjoy his footy rather than look as though the world depends upon him. Future A grader if we develop properly!!

Club can't win Bingers give them 4/5 years like Tommy and Harmesy and all D/L come down in FD. I am happy Trac only did a 2 but you can resign ( as fir Goody !!!!) early like Tivers if pressure is coming to retain etc.

Disagree Cheesy he can be ragged a bit but still has some good skills fir his physique in marking etc. BUT tackling needs more bulk to hold ball in and Bailey can get bigger and I believe even fitter like say Trac who must be the benchmark NOW.

Agree W what about a future 2nd rounder and Oscar.

Absolutely DD it's all in the head! BUT greater bulk for marking Fuels and tackling AND smarter leading down field not to the pockets Will give Fritta a big season 45/50 goals even.

Anyone as good as Clarry???? Not Merrett or anyone else I can think of. Clarry eill get better mark my words when we get decent coaches. So would Angus!!

Underrated and solid as at Giants And will prob never get acclaim as a defender We will get good service out of Tommo in defence assisting ruck and occasionally up forward IF Goody is game to make Changes during matches! Hsppy with 3rd tall in defence for last half of season no doubt Petty would be better but we need him up forward. Tommo is your original team man. Is he an improvement on Oscar ? Dies he fit iinto our defence ? Yes and Yes.

Or the other Hawks were totally hopeless

Not disposal kick or handpass in though

No coq he is only problem his results are a bit over average when he could have top results irrespective of the other forwards in the team. He is hamstrung by his lack of confidence and Swagger fir want of a better word. Kicking is in his head IMO and he needs to bulk up to be better in marking duels and fir tackling.

Thanks Dee didn't read it very well def misread The post. Missed the words Blow up!!!

Disappointing as this is to a small Club not a big Club a double standard really. Macrae was not off the ground permanently so really impact not great. Plenty of similar incidents overlooked as not enough impact. IMO Saints have No real chance of testing Tigers without Long Ryder and Carlisle. Appeal Saints Even though it's not a great chance of changing going on past cases.

Are you fir real? Or hopefully tongue in cheek. Maysie was a revelation this season. Realise you want Jesse back but don't discredit another player !!!

Jacko is one of our best below his knees Will be a generational NicNat type player and work with any forward line as he has shown already!

I screamed of delight equivalent to kicking a goal in the game by a Dees player after reading the headline. Well done Mahoney etc. great work. A special talent Who may even be a Dees Captain down the track. Talk about a Grimes type a decade on who will be handled properly and hopefully no injuries to ruin his career.

Lucifer I don't think Rivers has taken Locky's possie one IMO is a BP and the other a HBF er although the speed height and cleverness of an opponent could make them interchangeable st any given time. I like to think Locky has replaced Nev but in the BP and Rivers is a replacement For either Hibbo or Nev on HBF. Both are great young players and have the attributes to play along with May Lever Tommo and Hibbo still plus others we recruit. Smith should be tried up forward next season fir his own sake and the teams.

Brisbane was Hannan making an horrendous decision to pass to Fritta wide out 50 m on the boundary and overkicked (Fritta Should also be councilled on leading patterns as part of his development) BTW I believe Viney was 30 m in front of goal on his own!!! Tommo did not treat that shot serious enough and hurried it Again on field leadership may well have saved that and we win the game. I agree that in some ways we are on the cusp and need to swap some Assistant and Line Coaches to pressure Goody to pay attention to detail ie the 1% ers they matter.

To be fair Turner Baker has had virtually 2 seasons out injured and no games until late this season when he I would say surprised is all with his ability. To not give that an opportunity now a chance to blossom on the wing ( or HFF) would be a crime. You are sounding like our Coach who is far too stubborn to go by gut feeling and only by the text book rules and regs. What you have indicated may well be common sense but as we all know there are exceptions to every rule in this caper and life indeed. Happy if Bakes can prove the 23 yo "rule" wrong.

I don't have any reluctance to predict that our 3 recruits from the 2019 draft will be better than the Port Adelaide 3 in 2018 draft over their careers. Big prediction big talk but as long as we develop their footy Riv Kossie and Dogga each have very high degree of ability and special talents that already make them stand out in the AFL at their age.

That because he didn't perform as well in previous years !!! Whos to say Neale won't poll well Did he last year Ican't recall. Look st Angus in 2018 !! Trac is in it up to his eyeballs !! Go Trac

Waste of space ad a topic Pure fantasy It's idle dreaming about Daicos. Msybe Mihocek but after last night forget that also.

Would have thought this was obvious with the Forward line and the lack of connection in the mids Resulting in under Performance from Max's season and our clearance issues.
