58er

Sorry was talking about The Duke That’s why I included a potential centreline. Shouldn’t have switched players in a topic, but I understand Sharp could well be a high half forward ostensibly replacing ANB. Who will play on the other wing then?

Thanks Kozzy did not see that.

That was Trac not Clarry. CP5 is in Austria now at the Red Bull camp.

When did they stop it? It was done and we have moved on except you McClure and Barrett. Clarry had also please read his comments below from the interview with HSun at Caulfield races yesterday. They don’t call you CF for nothing!

Can I suggest you read the Herald Sun today for your proof. Looks like it will be a feature in today’s Hun.

It would have been an interview at Caulfield Cup races yesterday. Why don’t you ring him up and ask him to repeat just for you? For all the doubters he tried last year but fitness decided his finish after the bye. Once he is at footy he is his most determined thing in his life. I also predict CP 5 will be back to his best. He has the added incentive to display his brand at his best. That’s one of the reasons I believe the season this year was a bit like 2020 and it would not surprise me that 2025 mirrors 2021 in some way. There is a lot we can do a little better or even a lot better so don’t be surprised we improve as a team to prove some of the critics wrong.

Not his last 5 years from the Flag on.

He is a centre man star in the waiting think Swan Warner! Langdon Windsor Sharp Speed Speed. Speed and connectivity to forward line.

Caleb best in the centre to have forward impact at its highest point. Will be a revelation in this role and 20 goals could be the reward also.

Not easily satisfied. Looks fast enough for you I hope.

Agree with you that Windsor should be in the centre. A natural progression of a superstar in the making. Will rival one of the stars in the Swans trio. His career will possibly as as already been lauded or alluded close to the late great Robbie Flower. The difference will be we still have our A graders and champs potentially to enjoy as well if they are back to their best. I am backing them to be as good as ever and for us to improve with our youngsters on the improve. Bring on 2025 let’s show the doubters Dees.

Here here Tauru absolute match winner to add to our mid or forward line. Will be as valuable yo us over the next decade as Shai Bolton or even better. Provides X factor to the max. We have a good mix of players on the ball and also up forward and he will provide the difference as any one of our players can be influential in the mix now if we get him. Will be great anywhere on ball cameos and dynamite up forward. Absolute match winner. Grab him first pick if still available and if not Langford I think.

Yes yes yes still a good one at 9 for our midfield.

Still need mid field depth refer this season with Trac out and Clarry injured and fitness issue as year evolved. Need Rivers Kossie Kolt and the duke at centre not wing to raise the pace and aggression level of our mids

Great post only way to go to destroy the likes of Barrett Marclure and Cornes some of the time.

That will kill this Club. It is so selfish it’s why’s best for the Club to profit and bring the best footy for its supporters and if we keep laying the bland contest and defence without attack we will perish and fall on our own sword. Let’s read the tea leaves and see the recent premier who dared to lose before the final crowning justifiably rewarded them. The Strategic plan still lives 50,000 ave MCG crowd and 75,000 plus membership. And financial growth through sponsorship and corporate excellence.

You w we outed “he was never going to be” I am simply stating that he was a better footballer than Dean Kent who as you may well know dislikes him as a footballer and you have unfortunately chosen him as your poster name, as homage I can only presume but really it is a reminder of our poorer times and that have kept him on our list far too long he as injury prone and iMO a poor plate all round. Justafiably he also failed at the Saints which I gleefully remind you of. Yes Sam was an an enigma and did have ability but inwardly he seemed restricted in his confidence and self belief which prevented him playing with any physical sense. Cale Morton and the late Colin Sylvia were also underperforming Dees with talent who we had great hopes for. Simolt my point is that Weid Cale and Colin all had a great level of ability. Your namesake did not possess such skills and clogged up our list far too long

Really he would be a replacement for Marty also as a KPD option Anyone have his height etc?

That’s reasonable good idea in training pre season

Yes a lot can happen in 1 season.

Thanks Redleg maybe it was someone else that intimated we shouldn’t have given ANB his wishes. But the fact that you listed 11 players that GWS have above Wade in their pecking order is wrong for them to refuse on the grounds heasked for a clearance to us. The reason I suggested that Wade was a 2 and half year player he was similar time of 2 seasons to Jeffo and he is near to getting his chance. I done subscribe yo the time principal but to treat each player on their own development and progress. And that is comparable to Jeffo in their journey. I also have no real idea on who Wade would replace to come into our AFL team but he rucks plays defence and forward so is versatile and well credentialed to opportunity. Jeffo probably only forward but a half forward flank could suit him early and go to a KFP in the future as necessary or planned at our time. I hope Wade keeps asking for a move now next trade period.

Perhaps the sleeper in our list who is constantly underrated is Pup Brown. I expect him to put his fears and soul into gaining a spot in 2025. A On the ball or HF flanker role is not beyond him as he is a very solid and positive player who wants to succeed desperately.

That’s not a reason for rejecting a player solely. The Cats have many flanker types some now more skilled and quicker than that list in 2024. I M O we are possibly short on a HFF/ winger which we have attempted to solve by Harry Sharp. As he is young he is the right age and is a needs based selection and his role I hope can fulfill our expectations. Others in competition for the HFF probably high role that ANB had a grip on for at least a half decade are Chandler McAdam Maybe Bowey, Kolstrup slightly different type but equally ok for potential and style and ability if he develops. Personally I would like AMW to also get a go as HF flanker as his skills and pace are vital to that position plus he has kicked goals at Casey in that position. Kossie is usually on the other flank but may be in ball more or in a forward pocket sometimes or even sole full forward as in the SF vs Blues in 2023 where he nearly won the game for us. So maybe don’t need Narkle or Parfitt after all.

Better footballer than your mate ( namesake)

Well you are wrong as Jeffo has his best footy in front of him. This season it starts early on. Just in case Tauru is the one at 5 or 9 with a goal kicking mid to complete our top 10 selections. Couple of rookies Yze and Andrew’s possibly.
