Roost it far

Not to worry, we’ll revert to long down the line by round 5 😂

You have to hold, theres only one guy buying!

Another obvious reason the fixturing of round zero/one is ridiculous

We’re doing nothing for the racing club unless we pay a lease fee to them which I’m not sure we do. What we are doing can be seen as a benefit to the wider community who will have access to elite grounds every weekend of the year and at various times during the week.

Jefferson’s lack of AFL games is not the problem here. Everyone grows into the game at different rates. Some play first year like Caddy, others take 3-5. It seems clear enough that he has AFL attributes as described by Casey and track watchers. The questions that need answering are does he have the requisite hunger for the contest to be the player we all want? If he doesn’t can he adapt his game to still be a solid citizen? Or better still can he free the shackles that largely exist in the mind to become that hungry player? Comparing him to others is what we all do on here but it’s not going to give the answers we need. Let’s hope he emerges this year as a third tall because if he does we’ll all be happy.

Just send all the kids to the draft, no nga, no zones, no concessions. [censored] teams get an extra pick between rounds. It’s unnecessarily complicated. I think they like it this way so they can cook the books

With the same risk of injury so just play the practice match

You can add Chandler to that list

Thats how I see it as well. It’s not even a park. There’s a glorified dam and hectares of grass interspersed with dirt tracks and bitumen/concrete. Melbournes presence in an elite facility for 17 hours a week could only be a boon for the area. It’ll come down to whether any powerful people in the community don’t want it or want it for something else. We should have an answer by the middle of the year.

Whilst all injuries are disappointing I think we’ve had a great preseason. Bar Tholstrup and Kentfield we look to be set to have a full list to choose from in the coming weeks. I’d actually like to see Kentfield put on the LTI and see George bought in. I think he’s got more upside. I’m just not seeing your long list of injuries.

Did he look a likely future star?

Reports suggest Adam’s has had a solid preseason. He’s a big boy and marking contests always favour the backmen as he just has to spoil, much much harder when you have to mark, especially against a guy your size.

I know but I started my century a bit back because of the dearth of talent prior to the current crop

I agree regarding May and his agility last year. My understanding is that he’s in great shape bar a bruised knuckle.

If he’s tweaked his hamstring it may just show his body is no longer able.

I’m not reading that. I draw the line at Binmans monologue’s

How did Roy look?

You call that a report??

These reports are coming in to slow

Saints offering $1.7million

We all keep telling the club what to do, me included. They’re all over this.
