  1. Quite obviously star forwards are harder to recruit and when you have a world class defence with Disco and Bowsa still not regulars ( how long till though!! ) and JVR is tracking nicely with all the other Weids BBB Tmac etc either in a possible time warp or confidence crisis let's leave him as a potential star goal kicker. JVR has many good qualities that will Make him develop into a fine footballer and let's see a star light up the G to go with our 6/7 year champion mids in their match winning ways for us to rejoice. Leave the future to Disco etc.down back. PS we can always swing Harry Petty up forward and JVR down back to change things up!!
  2. More freakish and far better to watch than JW or Stef. Is an X factor to a midfield and runs faster than both. Reminds me of a young 3yo colt ready to run in the Derby. Hope we can get 2 more years out of Dogga. Who knows might be a four peat!!! Is still something special and no matter what happens I had the privilege of watching LJ live ( plus others) turning the GF our way with a bang bang bang! Will never ever forget it!
  3. It's obviously a favourite of Charlie Cameron's in case you have missed the song in celebration after a Charlie goal.
  4. He gas been playing in defence!! at this stage Suns have lost about 4/5 regular defenders so why not give Mac a chance . Stars aren't everything and you are exactly what's wrong with some D/Lers that only judge goals or kicks as bring in the best. "Playing your role" never looks better!!' Good luck Mac.
  5. Dogs 2016 think they lost in August at least 2 or 3 games.
  6. English has already resigned with Dogs for next two years till 2024. You need to keep accurate when discussing trade issues as incorrect facts spoil any post in good faith.
  7. You overlook the forward role Taranto plays snd he would only get better with classy mids and forwards around him. Mids that specialise up forward and add goals to your score are worth gold/s !!!!
  8. BT W what is the AFL figure on goals kicked against Logues in his career Redlegs that's vital as a defender.?
  9. Well if you want a Blake acres instead have him he is an average but improving winger which would be superfluous on our list. Logue Has had injury issues in at least 2 seasons and IMO is a realistic player for because of his versatility for our Club. He is better performed than Sam Weideman IMO and it's a fact that KP players are slower to mature with their potential. Freo haven't got star players yet but most are improving so a Schultz or one of their quick half forwards might be potential but at least a top 1-8 pick should be traded as compo also. The AFL ratings are not the b end and all end of a players ability or value or potential. You might find Jacko is vastly underrated as well but considered a better player because of his potential by most footy judges.
  10. That's fine he doesnt have to meet your ex wife either she or him can stay away from social functions. She is not allowed to go to training (like you) and around Finals the Clubs are going to be in Covid style Hubs or bubbles. Jordan has smaller $$$ contract with performance bonuses!
  11. MON I forgot about J. Smith and would also suggest also that Joel come back and be tried up forward as a roaming type. Be OK for after Bye break Round 23 and if we win and have break before Prelim. Give BBB limited time for Prelim and keep fresh for GF if possible.
  12. WE dont need a wingman (Acres) but Griffin Logue is a valuable key position competitive and versatile footballer who is a very Melbourne type of player and young enough to improve (just like Jackson will). He could easile be a CHF FF or a key backman at FB or CHB.
  13. You can't be serious ? Didn't you love him after his great 6 goals effort in the GF? Well he has occasionally lost his judgement and team plays temporarily but that will stop hopefully now after about 4 bad examples. He is too smart a footballer to keep up this.
  14. Good on Jeff for highlighting his son's credits and the teams he has been in. Perhdps a photo of the team instead could be another idea
  15. To win the flag I think Petty should come back as CHF and Tommo keep his place at FB. On the other hand could Tommo bullock his way like Tmac snd create ball drops etc for the smalls up forward? Isn't as good a player as Tmac so let's give Petty a go at this stage. I also think Howes should be given 2/3 weeks to find form and look at him as an extra forward possibility for say HFF who can mark and move around. Yes is a gamble but worth looking at snd giving him a chance at this stage. Or maybe try Rivers up forward as he competes well.
  16. Move on, Your Loss. Csn only be described as one if the worst decisions of all time. Biggest dummy spit from an adult (?) ever. There must be other reasons than this one you have provided. Giant loser of a lost cause.
  17. Better two leading than No one. So far your worry has occurred ONCE and Fritta's selfishness FOUR times and they are certain goals! In Your example a goal still had to be kicked correctly from 40/50 metres out. Yes our connecting is still a work in progress but great that Kossie stood up yesterday when it counted.
  18. JVR or it seems Laurie won't debut unless injuries or very poor form force Goody. What is more likely is that Bowey will return and might even be tried up forward. Chandler could be a medi sub or named on the bench as he deserves a chance. The time to try Laurie was against Port as he was In great form but Goody's conservatism shadows each selection. JVR is for 2023 I believe and will be a key in Casey winning a flag for us. Can't even predict Sam's next 2 months let's just say he could be any where between Hero and more likely Zero at Casey or on the G!!
  19. Would be better to give Petty a try up forward and leave Tommo in defence as he played well today. Jake May be out injured so English will present a problem also Bruce is back. Pressure on their mids is essential.
  20. Wrong far too low. Remember a First around No3 Draft Pick who won the Rising Star and turned games in his first season inc. the Grand Final. Have you forgotten last year. Is a Premiership player and ability at his age is far in advance log other 20yo ruck recruits. Although he has not had quite the impact this year he has had a solid season and by his nature contributes to the team as a whole, Still the best 20 yo ruck now and potentially also forward. Deserve a Top 10 pick say 8-10 at least.as compensation plus a player Logue would be my choice for his versatility and key position attributes.
  21. "Bit of a nothing " time slot is the third BEST in the weekend!!! FTA on Ch 7. Not Sun or Sat 1.10 or 1.45 pm or tween twilight time or 5.20 Sun arvo. No Selection panel would make a call based on your reason of a telecast time slot. The game is between 2 teams still in contention and the third best of the round ahead of Dogs vs Saints really. But more will see it due to its Friday night exposure as the 2 godchild teams of Gill and AFL seam to be favoured for prime time exposure despite regular floggings.
  22. You fail to mention that it blossomed BIG TIME in 2021 Finals snd delivered an historic flag! It still is a quirk that I have thought since Staf took over that a ruckman can coach forward line and take goal kicking practice without any apparent skills from his playing days. I think a new forward line coach is imperative unless we win the flag again! Having said all this he seems to get on with the players well.
  23. Sad to see one of our very best gone. But many memories of him as a true champion for our older fans. Saw the Cup triumph last year so fitting for him. Vale Noel McMahon
