Jonesy is going to show Petracca and Oliver to play midfield ? Another investigation on why the club is failing in 2025 !!!! I suppose some people aspire to being 2ND best.

We need to pick up 2 big bodied mids(one definitely) . Kozzie needs to remain a forward , none of this mid time [censored]. Petracca can play forward not FF or CHF as he is a bit short. Turner will make it as a key forward. Petty may make it as a forward , still the jury is out on this. The small forwards could come from Chandler , Sparrow, McAdam possibly Bowey and K.Brown. Mids :- Oliver, new guys , Langdon , Windsor , McVee and Rivers .

It is all in his head, just needs someone to "poke the bear".

Where are fact checkers when you need them ? (forgot non experts as proven ,work for facebook ).

I would offer him a rookie position and only play him defence.

The media paint whatever picture they want you to believe (brainwashing). I originally thought Houston not coming to the Dees was a bad thing, but we would have to cough up pick 5. Keeping picks 5 and 9 is great as we get a chance to improve our midfield department. Also we could play Tracc forward which is a win win for us. We could also pick up a younger version of Houston , this all depends on the type of training our coaches are capable off. Personally I would get in a person that has not got AFL experience as coach , a visionary who can think outside the square. This person gets to smooth things out between players and staff.

Hopefully we can get 2 out 3 of LANGFORD ,SMILLIE and TAURU. No small mids thankyou.

I have supported this club for 66 yrs, since 1965 we have NOT been a destination club and trhat explains why we have only won one flag since then.

Another strange move by the Dees, what position does and Verrall and Fullerton play? I would pick up a tall delisted mid from another club.

We would need Geelong's 1st and 2nd round pick plus their next year's 1st round pick. We could bundle up all these picks for an early 1 st round pick. However this is not going to happen because Geelong's 1st rounder is going to the Dogs for Bailey Smith. An alternate would be Oliver renegotiates his salary for less plus less time. We then can accept Geelong's @nd rounder and a future 1St plus a player. None of this is going to happen.

Kozzie to Port , Houston to NM. We NM 1st rounder then we get Peatling from GWS.

Depending where you look McCrae wants to come to the Dees. Petracca can then play forward which would be good for us. We do need to draft two young good midfielders and probably have someone else from our existing who could that role. Preferably not Kossie. What was funny on a website that getting Dersken ( no senior games ) and a Tom Campbell was a mini team rebuild.

As for backups (temporary possibly) Leek Aleer (GWS) Macrae and Caleb Daniel ( WB ) . Hunter offers nothing and to a degree so those Chandler and Sparrow. Where does Spargo rate, anyone.

Footy coaching is a hard gig ,one minute you are the flavour of the month the next your not. Forget injuries being an excuse , the fact is we didn't pick up suitable back up players to cover our losses. We need a better system for to improve our young back up players so that they have a good opportunity to play seniors. You can call this thinking outside the box !!!. With clubs delisting young talent especially mids we need to recruit a couple of them. Not everyone gets on with the coach of the day and in fact may underperform. The club has made too many reckless decisions regarding list selection and on that basis Goody needs to go. Didn't Percy Jones coach Carlton to runner's up one year only to be replaced by Jezza.

58ER, I have supported this club for 68 years and I have put up with many many frustrating years.For us to win only one flag in 57 years is shocking. I suppose your'e one of these people who don't mind constant failure. I can say that I actually enjoyed our dynasty in the 50's.
