Not a chance. LJ may have potential to become a better player, but that is looking unlikely based on this years performance. If we could do this trade then I’d take it take and run. However LJ is worth more than 13 and 32.

Second half fade outs
Hmm it looks like we targeted starting games with a lot more intensity. Perhaps it is simple as spending all our petrol tickets too early in the game?

Don’t forget the additional $$ we need to keep Kozzy the year after next. Still think we can do it as the retirees and list changes next year plus the increase in cap can probably make it possible

Why? Look at pragmatically. They have an excess of forward talent but are 2 key players short down back and probably another inside midfielder . I’d try to find a way to have Bont play more mid / half forward. He would be the hardest match up in the comp roaming around the forward half.2-3 goals per game and involved in another half down scoring chains.

Im more interested to hear when you are going to start a poll regarding your new DL name options.

Aaron Naughton
haha. i wish! I think it would be Tommo + 150K of his contract, a 2022 1st and a 2023 2nd rounder

Hawks racism allegations (merged thread)
This unfortunately is what a portion of society will think and rightly so. If its not about $$ (as is the case for ABC), then you have to question whether there is egotism involved. Giving the coaches 24 hours to respond (to an email and voicemail) on what is probably one of the biggest controversies in AFL history just beggars belief. To me it is clear there was a timeline to adhere to which centered around having the story in circulation in the lead up to the Grand Final. Sticking to that timeline was paramount and that meant going about consultation with all stakeholders in a sloppy and stealthy way.

Adam Tomlinson on the move?
Thats a straight up No and then some. He is Weideman 2.0

Resting Max in 2023
I probably wouldn’t rest him for 4 games but definitely 2. Maybe give him the week after the bye for an extended break. And then another about a Round 20. Is also look to rotate rests in our midfield core. We have plenty of midfield depth to give Trac, Oliver, Viney and Brayshaw a week off in the 2nd half of the year. I think we’ll see the likes of Taj, Dunstan, Chandler feature a bit more prominently in the midfield this year.

Farewell Brodie Grundy
Fixture and list health had a lot to do with their build up. If the powers that be were to acknowledge this then, you can at least do something to make the draw fairer. Our game plan is somewhat outdated. You may find it laughable but we cannot go into 2023 and expect a different result. It may not be A major overhaul but we definitely need to work on more direct method. I can’t work out the f50 lack of pressure though. Some say effort but I think it’s the way we deliver i50 and how the opposition rebound in numbers and get through our zone.

Farewell Brodie Grundy
Solid summary. Grundy should take the bulk of the tap outs and Max play FF. He just needs to work on his goal kicking - he is one of the comps better contested marks inside 50 , which is what our game plan demands. With a solid pre season in the F50, they should work on their leading patterns so that BBB, and Max lead to different parts of the forward line.

3 Things we can bank on next year
I’ve actually thought this too. I just don’t think Goody will change enough and with the looming exit of Yze and possibly Mark Williams, the incoming coaches will probably not feel comfortable in challenging him.

2022 GRAND FINAL
What a muppet. I can’t wait when they can’t make the 8 next year. It will be a hard pre season for the geriatrics that just filled their belly’s.

Petracca on 360
I’m glad all the focus will now go into Geelong given how convincing they have been. The odds from Rd 1, the pressure and scrutiny on every loss, the footy experts try to find a reason why you are not up to it. The leaked press about something so insignificant but front page worthy and that every team will now hunt you and be the team to beat the premiers - especially at their home ground. Glad we won’t have that on us and we can go about our business.

2022 GRAND FINAL
The Swans stoppage work in the middle is just pathetic.
-
2022 GRAND FINAL
I think they’ll want to go back-to-back. And will be a good chance at it. Nobody bar Pies in the EF have really come close for the last 3 months. Dees 21 best vs Cats this year would be a close game and could go either way tbh.

Tom McDonald re-injures foot
Lucky he had the text overlay, I’d be worried if that was his urine sample.

2022 GRAND FINAL
👍 and MCG. Too many whiskeys 😁
-
2022 GRAND FINAL
They will but I’ll bet my house they find a way to make it easier than ours. They will probably play a majority of the top 8 games at GMHBA and their away games to the bottom 4. 3/3 last games will be in VIC (MCG away games + GMHBA home games).

Reid has been awful. Sub him off and get McDonald into the game.
