Roost it far

Isn’t he the guy to help solve our forward half issues?

My kingdom for Jackson. That’s why Fullerton is so important

Bowey is a huge loss, I think he was primed for a great year. We need a replacement for him. Who is that? I don’t see a natural cover besides Salem. Do we roll the dice and try Laurie or Woewodin there?

I think Collingwood will slide to bottom half of the 8, they’ll get found out

We’ve got some major problems and Bowey’s loss compounds them. 8 weeks means it’s unlikely he’ll find his best till very late in the season.

The AFL have to let clubs who lose a player to concussion pick an extra player and have the players salary off the books. We're going to miss Gus more than we realise.

You lost me at Melksham

Max will be fine, he’s never been a tough guy and never will be. Our problems lie elsewhere

So sensible. I’m all or nothing. Flags or bust for me.

Absolutely, I’m annoyed about last year, the preseason and Sydney. Im worried if we keep losing and sustaining injuries it’ll be season over

No one’s eager to write anyone off. But when you’ve watched a lot of footy the first thing you look for is an appetite for the contest. They’ve all got great skills that can continue to be worked on. Appetite is the split second difference that defines the best players in this sport. I and others, including much better footy brains than me, don’t see it with Jefferson. Can he prove the doubters wrong, yes but it’s unlikely

Pickett will help, I really hope Fullerton is selected as Schache doesn’t have it. Just maybe we’ll play more like the Carlton practice match and have a comfortable win…..one can dream!

Jefferson is likely a bust and at pick 15 a pretty expensive one.

GWS remind me of us in 21. It’s the hunger and belief that we just don’t have.

I’d almost take a bottom 4 finish so as to recruit and bounce in 25-26. Bit like 2019. Problem is how to you keep guys like Petty and attract key forwards when you finish that low?

Simplistic in that Key Forwards don’t fall out of trees but he’s right. We’re now banking on an injured backmen who may leave at years end to be our key forward. I really hope we’ve got the cheque book out at years end. Is Cadman contracted next year? I’d take JUH in a heartbeat. If Petty puts together a good season we need to sign him. We can’t go to the draft as we need a player Round 1 next year.

No one has told me whether Fullerton is any good?

Briggs will kill Gawn

They can kick. We could kick in 21, wtf happened?

They’re really good

If hogan was at Melbourne he would of slipped over and broken his foot going for that mark

They also had belief, determination and hunger banged into them.

Because Goodwin has dropped the ball. We know it so.

No but we’re fielding a weak side. Try these names on for size Petty, Hibberd, Grundy, Bowey replaced by Schache, Laurie, Windsor and Howes. I guess what I’m trying to say is we can’t afford any more key injuries, Schache can’t play ever again. It really makes the non playing of Grundy embarrassing. There was a Flag up for grabs and we didn’t even pick our best side. All the club apologists over this preseason would be mocking any other club who did what we did. Amateur hour. And yes I will keep banging on about it because we’re a rung below these clubs now and it’s hard to get back up. We almost need to bottom out and get some top picks.

We should have gone hard for Hogan 2 years ago.
