Roost it far

0-4

What’s happened to George?

We’re short good kicks and small forwards and players who can tackle. We’ll be better if Spargo finds form.

We don’t need a full rebuild but we may need some fresh eyes. We’ll have a better idea in 6-8 weeks

A ruckman’s role around the ground in a fast transition game isn’t the role he once had. His role is to win taps and give our mids first use. He then is used to cover holes to limit the run of our opponents.

Don’t be scared of Tasmania taking all the picks. They’ll trade plenty, that’s an opportunity for us not a hindrance

Not if it’s a Brock McLean draft

If and it’s still an if we’re watching the end of May, which I suspect we are, we need to get games into Adam’s. Our defence is still sound albeit under pressure and not providing great rebound without McVee and Windsor. A defence of Adam’s Petty Howes Windsor Lever McVee Is fine if both Adam’s and Howes develop or are replaced. Adam’s is unknown at AFL level and if he doesn’t make it Turner is currently the replacement leaving us a bit thin up forward unless Jefferson makes it alongside JVR.

If we take Longmire I’m done. He’s finished as a top level coach. There’s a use by date on everything and he’s reached his. Football Director, sure but if we go for a new coach grab the best assistant available.

Viney’s been an excellent player for us, yes the contract is too long but only if the price is exorbitant. Stop belittling his career, he’s a great of the club. Not only has he played his share of cracker games he’s driven standards.

As an option we could take White and Sinemma, trade out The Brand and take Butters. That’s a pretty good result for us.

I’d have a crack at Butters

Any idea if he’s expected to be a highish draft pick?

One thing I truly hate is “honourable “ losses. The ones where you are watching the game and the 3-4 goal margin remains from the Cats initial burst. You sit there and watch as we draw to within 12 points with 10 minutes to go only to see the Cats kick an easy out the back goal. These games are truly grating.

Kolt’s likely to be limited considering his time out. Hopefully he gets a good run at the second half of the season. Having those 5 up and about will make our team so much better.
