Key defender at 192cm & 79kg’s is a stretch. Maybe he becomes a third tall in the Tomlinson mould, albeit 2cm shorter

Reckon there could be wholesale changes at the pies over this offseason. They would probably take anyone

Bruzzy would be a superb addition. Plenty of grunt about him and is a ready made replacement for Nev/Hibbo. Does not really fit the dees Private School stereotype, but Bruzzzzzzy!

The hairstyle leads me to believe he drinks a bit of his own bathwater. It may be well off the mark, just what it portrays to me. I don't agree with @Diamond_Jimthat he walks into any starting 18. I think there would be a few coaches who wouldn't accept the off the ball stuff. Port, Brisbane and Geelong immediately spring to mind. He definitely picks and chooses when he wants to contest

Fair point on Bruest

He's an interesting one. I can appreciate his goal kicking but don't necessarily rate him that highly. If the game is on our terms he is handy, when it isn't he becomes very ineffectual. He can't create a goal in the way a De Goey or Stringer could with brute strength or a massive contest

This is an incredibly short sighted view. The club and passionate supporter base on here should always be pondering the future and if we want to keep winning then we need to keep improving. A 10-1 start 12 months ago would have been considered impossible but we made improvements in to make it happen

Thought there was talk of Geelong. Or was that them getting involved as a third party and palming off Clark?

How much can I chip in to guarantee this?

He’s had a fairly rapid fall from grace!

We have done an unbelievable job on Bont, he’s had very little room to move so far

He’s been so close on a few occasions tonight, hope this gives him wings and he kicks a couple more in the last

Similar to what is being discussed with Tom Mitchell right now. His effect is being nullified because he's got no one of use to give the ball to.

How many games has Narkle played over the journey? Not surprising he's waiting as he's finally had a decent game

Agreed. The vulnerable categories are pretty slack in getting it done, meanwhile the people not in those categories who are ready cannot. If it was opened to everyone, vaccination numbers would be much, much higher. I'm under 50 and not in health and everyone I know is waiting for the green light, just never seems to come

I was laughed at for suggesting Viney would struggle to play more than 10 games in the pre season

I think our game is still very reliant on being able to attack. Not sure we are as good when things aren't on our terms and the doggies will certainly make us pay at Marvel

I don't know that Harmes can go with Bont, gives away a lot of height and weight (8cm and 8kg at a quick glance)

I don't know that we have anyone capable of standing Daniels? Fritsch is too timid, ANB is probably not smart enough. Melksham is too concerned about his own game. Maybe Spargo, but he's proving too useful going the other way. Would be ideal to try and isolate Daniels on Kossie, he'd have his hands full then.

I think there's definitely some valid points being raised. The forward line was functioning more efficiently without BB and Weid as we were more mobile and less predictable. The first 6 rounds we were really clicking as a team but as the pressure has come we have reverted back to a bit more individual play. The challenge is how we respond over the next 2 weeks, we have given ourselves a good headstart and now the real work begins

It was definitely peculiar that Lockhart had played quite a bit then just disappeared and never seemed to be in contention again.

Mitch Brown definitely has his limitations but I agree that he fits the style. Covers plenty of ground and is actually versatile.

I’d take Weid over Fritsch on current form

I was pleading at the TV - punch it towards the line Maxxxxxy

It’s not too surprising that a few of our guys have gone to water now that teams are really hunting us. It was always going to be very hard to maintain our intensity from the fast start to the year but that was a pretty soulless performance. Will be a good test for the selfless behaviour the club has been preaching because the system has won us games of footy this year and the system was non-existent last night. The selection over the past few weeks could have had a negative impact on the group and I hope that can steady. Salem out hurt our setup immensely. Doggies clash will be huge. Friday night on the big stage against the best side in it. If we are to be any chance this year we will need to get to work from this morning and see what won the games early in the year
