Petty, JVR, Fritsch, Smith,Kossie, ANB, Chandler can be a very dangerous forward mix in 24 and beyond. Petty is a gun we must keep this group together and get the connection right

Correct this was by far the biggest issue and converting the chances when they presented. I think our forward line is more than capable, just need to work on creating space/separation give our mids easier targets, maybe upgrading our forwards coach is the way to go?

That mid season bye scenario... from NT to QB and shorter breaks really derails our season, we need it equal to everyone else

Does this mean we will get a second bye on the run home?? The article says these four clubs (melb, syd, gws, coll) will get a early bye, we will be gassed by around r15 if this is to happen?

No way do the deal for picks alone... must get a forward... Fogarty and whatever picks give us pick 1 all tied up in the same deal.. So Crows get Petty Dee's get Fogarty, Reid WCE get pick 6, 10,11

I'd like to know why we haven't seen his best recently? Does he lack motivation after the flag, or injuries? he has some great weapons which elevate him well above VFL standard... What else could it be... your playing for a team you supported your whole life and got a chance at another flag, prove the selectors wrong and have the best preseason of your life and get back to being best 22. Would love him to stay and give it a red hot go..

I would give it one more season, no good back up rucks out there atm, give both boys a full preseason working in the forward half... dunno why we would quit after 15 games or so

It also comes down to what you or they define as ' sustained success ' Top 4, 3 years running is a excellent run.. flag's are very hard to win, It took us 57 years... The thing to think about is what if we won one more flag in the next 2 years with this group and dropped out of the 8 for the next 10years

Besides young draftees if we are serious about making a grand final in the next 2 years we need a key forward, can't rely on JVR and Petty so much, 1 more tall forward who can kick 2 goals a game and we're set. Don't know who's available but even a mature ager similar to Mihocek Forget about BBB, Or Tmac they have given all they got.

Dante Visentini.... 202cm 98kg forward/ruck at Port Adelaide originally from Brighton Vic. 20years old contracted till 25 but I would ask the question

He really needs to work on this in the off season, sometimes he goes for the harder option which in turn opens up the play in our favour but he has been shanking alot of them this season. His set shots you can see the stress in his face and his gone from a great kick for goal to average. That calming work he does isn't working IMO

I agree, we are very bare in the ruck department, and gorilla full backs are hard to find, hopefully our recruiting team are working something behind the scenes in this space, also a speedy midfielder who can hit a target. Still think we have a top 4 list for at least 2 more years

We really need to poach a decent forward/ruck are there any rumours in this regard, Grundy not working out leave us very vulnerable in that department

Jack Silvani, left out of the side again, would fill a need forward and ruck?

Tigers get ozzz we get Lynch 😉

I would be surprised if a professional sports organisation doesn't review after every season, Yes we should be reviewing every aspect of the club, that doesn't mean it has to be public knowledge though.. The supporters will see the results of the review out on the field every week.

Don't want to play hard ball but he has 4 years left. So we need to get a ready made forward or ruck in return...

I am still so upset with our exit we are better than what we showed in both finals, just have to learn to put the game to bed when we had heaps of chances.. unfortunately the best team in the Afl is not going to win the flag imv

One of the many F ups from the FN Afl and its umpiring systems, somehow we seem to be always on the wrong side of these decisions.... I'm still realling from Friday night, but I've had no faith in the umpiresall year they are getting worse, and not just our games

F@#$% can't believe this.... again we fail to put the game away should have been a 4 goal win.... And the umpires omg... wtf is going on AFL

It also makes us have to work so much harder to score a goal, than opponents, this really should have been fixed in the last off season...

How can I justify having my two boys grow up playing footy if Mahnard gets off because this is regarded as a legal 'football act'?

Can someone send this article to Goodwin please

To my eye we got overwhelmed by the massive crowd and even our stars struggled to get there hands on the pill early.. Our midfield have really average foot skills and this was highlighted on the big stage.. the amount of times Fritch, Roo and even T Mac were in good positions for a mark and we failed to kick to advantage really cost us. Wouldn't mind seeing how Bowey goes in the middle and give Rivers more time there, thoughts? Thanks

We're is the logic in choosing Melbourne when we have Burgos apprentice.... did he not see how long it took for Clarry to recover from a hamstring?
