58er

56 can you please state in about 2/3?lines what you mean in your tirade about Gerard Healy. I I must be dumb but that is so verbose on a Monday morning!!

What a stupid statement. Maybe his best in 2025 but has enough smarts ( tricks) to make an impact a lot earlier especially if we have JVR Tmac and BBB plus other forwards producing each week.

No we didn't in 2012 and 2013 either!!

This was done for the Prelim Final post from the AFL and on page 1 of this thread.

It's the land of the Indigenous tribe that the ground is located within. Boy oh boy WJ haven't you noticed the last few game details with this on under the grounds ordinary address!!

That's the thing we bring because of our game plan ability and pressure other teams back to our level and make it a fair dinkum scrap. I do think we do have to not let the Lions kick goals in a run and have to make up more than 2 or 3.

Not sure I agree Durango no recruits or even Dunstan were tried so we have no real idea. Surely Chandler Dunstan and Bedford weren't seriously considered as others held on to places with inconsistent and sub par form. Our best 23 was tired and partly injured but no team changes eventuated. Amazing we now don't have Weid Toby or Hunty but Brodie Schache and Lachie H are good returns for 2023 who all should assist with JVR for our team to rise again when the chips are down in the Flag race.

Matthew Is now 84kgs and 195m And believe aware of his development and need for this change. I am very bullish and pick 13 must go to Matthew if he is available. Might even turn out better than Cadman!!!

Who knows in 2 years Fraser May be AFL ready. Hope he does well and Dees keep eyes on him. Good Luck Fraser.

That's not how the talk from all experts has been Davis. JT is too smart to fall for "trading down". No value at all to ruin the compensation for Jacko. Why really is there any reason for a dramatic drop in picks 11-30 to justify a good position for elite talent that is not available every year. We should embrace our first choice just like We have over the last 6/7 years and revel in their ability to help us win another Flag or two.

Well said no value in trading Down! A no of elite talents are there in the top 15/20 which we shouldn't say no to also.

Very fair summary but still believe Fritta is totally underrated by many other Clubs fans. He is an A grader IMO and his footy skills are amazing. Look forward to 2023 and him hopefully playing up firward with JVR Tmac BBB Jefferson Kossie and the rest of the gang including Harry Petty!

Yes I can't see how going backwards can really help us get the best players Mr Leg. AGree that a 2nd round future added may be handy to boost our 2nd round 37. Bekieve Jefferson is No 1 at 13 (14) and either George or Allan are good gets if we can move up.

Not sure if you gave any real Psycho quals DN and can judge degrees of confidence or amount of eye contact. Many players change Clubs and Lachie is no different. We have provided the opportunity to better our list and I have faith in the culture and coaching at the Club will enable Lachie to regain his best form and play a very positive role in our 2023 quest to regain our No 1 spot. Brodie and Schachey also will be great for us. Please report back in mid June with your patients!!

Agree BDA The review was shallow and about 3 mins at most highlighting Fritta and his selfishness or similar depending upon your view. Not ONE mention of Grundy Hunter Schache or JVR or our injury handling or effect late in the year or Tmac returning.Useless babble from Johnno and nothing salient from Healey.

Sorry Dees Zone Apology.

Agree Deestone

But Casey is elite in standard on field and inside facilities and raised our level along with the Coaches to best ever training standards in 2021. Don't underestimate Casey's role as it is MCG in size as well in our Flag.

A small downer for George is he won't play much if at all in 2023. But could grow like others in the year off. BTW Jefferson has grown to 195 and put on 6 kegs to 84 now. Looks a shoe in for us at 13 (14) likely and silly not to take him. Chris Cavanagh in HS says we may exchange 13 and 37 for 20 and 26. We are also into Ed Allan from WA a 190 odd cm running versatile who is a taller version of Blake Howes possibly. Makes it all very interesting.

Why not one of them and Jefferson? Say George and Jefferson ! Forwards if you like a bigger Fritta and Trac 2 if he is a clone.

Agree

There's only ONE Clarry destined for even more greatness. Not mentioned enough and very underrated by opposition supporters. Respect is owing from 17 other Clubs fans!

Jefferson won't be there for our 2nd pick nor will Gruzewski . It's one or t'other at 13 if we don't rise in draft beforehand.

Yes but he twice at least "burnt" players that looked bad and selfish. Surely any player should be balanced enough to recognise team play. Kossie can sometimes be a bit goal happy near goals when on angles and not always look to centre the ball or look in that direction. Gets away with it as he can get tight goals others seem to miss though.
