RJay I don't for one minute think that The Jackson injury was the catalyst for recruiting BBB. Blind Harry Can see we need a mature "man" with a good record to lead our forward line and Ben or another forward was always the trade method the Club Needed to pursue. Weid and Jacko will learn and prosper from Ben ( and Johnathon Brown also) but all our forwards including our latest 3 draftees Bowery Laurie and Rosman are part of our most needed successful part of the Dees in 2021 and beyond. I have no idea if all will gel together but I believe such is the group of Coaches now that This success will be achieved. That Ben and Sam appear similar should nit be an issue if they play their part in the plan for our goal scoring To lead our attack in 2021 we should all Work as a group to get that ball Between the Goals for majors. 2021 is going to be a season like no other to enjoy a left over mood A d Montb assistance

Wrong Dr. If you couldn't see his bulking up then you are either not looking or maybe a Spec savers apprentice. Vlearly Tommy has bulked up look at his thighs etc. I am looking for a renewed Fit and agile player who can play forward back or ruck. Lets not be stupid an try and play him on a wing he won't be up to the pace of our New wingers or Ed . Good luck Tommy.!

Yes quite categorically look at his record You have Stubbornly tried to masssge stats by blaming selection, to try and prove your point and by saying you don't look at no's of games!! Bit like saying racehorse who won 30 races is only better because he was gifted more wins than a horse that won 3 races. Bradmsns better than Ian Craig??? Maybe Becsuse he was gifted about 25 centuries !!!

Most if those attributes are born in players and are hard to msnufacture hence skills break down under pressure. Yhe best players are instinctive watch Trac it's so natural. Thatsxwhat these 3 players bring on top of Kossie Jacko and Riv all being the same. Thsts why I am so bullish about our chances this year !

Given our chance and we stuffed it up vs Port and I had to sit through every miserable moment!! But win 3/3 or 4/2 in The first 6 rounds and beat say GWS and Cats then Frid night/s May be back on the agenda!!

No JL doesn't but what he brings is an organised game plan of a decades success snd with young players who stick to it. ( rather like in Cairns and with Freo foing the same thing) against our mo game plan and disjointed vs wind approach which resulted in disaster. They don't (Swans) build up fir us they know if they can get good use of theball their plan will outshine our haphazard and inconsistent game plan and give success, year after year, in fact from 2006 which nearly every year they have made Finsls snd we have once!!!! It's not rocket science BBP.

And P2J if the Cats slide as some predict then these 3 teams would be the first taking their place! easch one could nail the Cats coffin week by week at their fortress and the AFL would look good I would presume.

Poita you have answered your own question ( don't agree Necessarily anyway) Why give back money when loyal supporters did not ask for it? It was there snd you were invited but I suspect that you feel more comfortable nitpicking now than asking fir reserved seats payments from your hard earned. The actual fsct is that the 40,000 who stuck fat are loyal and perhaps benevolent in your eyes. Whst is missing in this post and what Perty evades mentioning the 12,000 members who we lost from 2019 to 2020 are part of this downturn with IMO not a lot of Covid reason but sheer football disappointment and frustration. We need 55,000 to stick fat and 15/20,000 fair weather fans to add the cream when we experience sustained success and hopefully the long awaited 13 Th and plus premierships.

Interesting team from Adonski but if we were to go young Petty aNd Lockhart would be in my defence.Bowey on wing Salem at HF instead of Hunt and Sparrow in lieu of Melksham. Tommo an emergency. Yhis is more like a Finals team in Sept with Rosman replacing who? Harmes??? I think Hibberd and Harmes are vulnerable but look at the pace and ground skill It's light years away from where we are now and our ball movement and run surely would become elite with all these speedsters. Think if a game plan that this team could produce!

Poita they have had 3 games btween them!!! Have been at Club for 2 years one which the Club played about 3 games of footy in other than Seniors. Give them a chance!

Dr D I have one issue with your list. To compare Jack Watts with all those others who only played abut 20-50 games each is not realistic. Jack May not have reached his potential as a No 1 pick ( just as much our fault through nit developing players and him especially) So to compare and list with others like Toumpas etc is unfair and derogatory towards Jacks efforts for the Club come yo think of it our record for development Is Poorish and these guys suffered also.

Can't stone for Cairns We missed the 8 you never get that back!!!

It's often who you play in those home games. Having Freo then say Suns GWS then Crows Would not be a membership selling draw BUT mst assist in getting crowds vs Big Vic Clubs therafter. But having Gerlong Tigers and Blues early on can boost membership figures as long as we are not being thrashed and showing form and wins, as more fans go to those games!

Got nothing to do with it !!! If you perform in a year like 2018 then you deserve Friday night and other FTA opportunities. Shouldnt be penalised forever we also have finished ahead of many teams in 2017 and 2020.

What in the hell have Manchester City, Barcelona got in common with the redevelopment of Casey Fields.??? Rather an opportunity to bignote with a set of statistice that are irrelevant. Probably good that the table can hardly be read anyway!

Certainly agree ManDee at $1 per letter that's over the top but a parcel at that rate would be ok I feel and Maybe is ?

No Panna that's not so as all players are exposed this year so can be judged whereas Vic draftees were not in games so only 2019 form was exposed in their initial year.

Why do so many supporters dismiss Jay Lockhart? Easily The best small defender Developing and was outrageously left out from about Round 12 in 2020 by a Coach who just stopped developing him. Faith in ability needs to be shown fir confidence and Jays style and dare are just what our backline needs from the BP.

We are going iN a bit light with Fritta as No 2 That's why heshould be 3 all the time and we will get the best out of him.

That is more like it I was going to query that 175cm post but didn't have any facts only memory to counter it!

Why exactly DG?

May be it's just not ready till now??? And Aus Poat bashing is a bit out of date This year they have been fantastic !

Why can't you get the Australian Post staff to place it into the P.O. Box if You give it to them by hand ? Seems more sensible.

Because we haven't got any timeline yet but when it comes that will be addressed.

Was he forced out early? Or retired through injury prematurely that's who I have listed not players who had a long and largely uninterrupted career.
