Roost it far

Do we play him as a forward/ruck as hasn’t he largely been developed down back?

When ordering a burger with frozen fish it’s best to set expectations very low.

For Christ’s sake spare us all. Just stick to this weeks team.

Get out of bed on the other side Kev.

Kev, I think you’re missing what’s going on. Both Oliver and Petracca were top 2-5 in comp when we signed them. We paid them what they were worth and protected our assets with the length of contract. It hasn’t worked out perfectly but they remain very very good players. Pickett was being courted heavily by Fremantle. I’d agree that the contract is probably too long but I think the money is spot on, he’s an absolute jet. If down the track he still really wants to leave we hold the cards. He’s ours as are Petracca and Oliver. I think all 3 make us closer to a Flag than further away and to me that’s all that matters.

I think it does translate to AFL. Not every moment of every match but he does enough right to be very close to best 22.

Can you just run me through the players where a long term contract has backfired on the club, leaving out concussion as I think those terms will change again.

Just get him

I’d prefer him back as well but the backline is sorted

Not really. There’s no one to replace him and he’s being going ok. Not amazing in the weekend but he’s a good size and we know he can play. Howe is a very talented backmen who’s mobile, strong and has a fantastic mark.

Never going to happen

Just a question, where do you suggest Petty plays and who does he replace?

You left out Jamarra

Your reputation is sound. Of course it’ll be in tatters if Jamarra isn’t in red and blue next year.

Whilst some might not like the length, you can’t argue the money and just imagine how you’d feel if he was playing at Fremantle next year or the year after. Sit in that pool of sludge for a moment. Personally I think it’s a powerful statement by the club and Kozz. All power to them!

Can you take that down ffs!!

Jamarra, Bergman and Jackson, add Sinnema and White and that's a decent off season.

David Schwarz had a higher ceiling bar his injuries

Can we still draft him this year as father son?
