Roost it far

TC is the perfect backup for Max. I just hope the club can be smart enough to periodically rest Max during the season and have him cherry ripe for the QF against Carlton

There’s a few on the list I’d happily trade out for a speculative pick like George. If he’s applying himself and shows he’s got what it takes then that puts him in front of some others in my opinion.

That would be the sweetest victory of all

Would you take Koz and our next 2 first rounders for Harley Reid?

Who bought you to kill the party?

Darcy’s on stupid money. Personally beyond Gawn I think we look at average rucks from around the league and put the money into another midfielder. We got lucky with Gawn s and we ain’t likely to replicate it. If Koz goes we want the equivalent of 2 top 10 picks. It’s why a deal can’t get done.

My mate calls me knackers occasionally, it’s a term of endearment

I get called Champ and Big Fella

Ok then Max confirms he’s going again but doesn’t mention a Dynasty this time around whilst also holding up the cup.

Don’t you hate it when facts blow up your argument. I mean Trump, his billionaires and the MAGA crew don’t care when this happens but we on DL are held to a far higher standard. On the plus side your training reports are much appreciated.

Finish 2nd, smash Carlton in the QF on a Friday night in front of 97,500 fans followed by Brisbane in the Prelim by 26. Play The GF in front of a full house, Oliver wins Norm Smith, Disco kicks 7 and Max retires holding the cup.

The bit about talking to the butt because not all agree that not applying oneself to preseason is ok for a guy getting paid as much as he is.

Well you’re blowing smoke up a guys [censored] who literally blew up his own preseason and effectively ruined his own year. I mean your posts are generally happy clappy but that’s ridiculous.

Show me the money

What a ridiculous post.

Verrall stands at 198, it’s too short for a modern day ruckman unless he’s got an amazing vertical leap and can outmuscle and outmatch his opponents around the ground. You’ve got to be able to nullify your opponents ability to find a mid at centre bounces and then out mark them around the ground. Looking at him up against TC and who seriously thinks he can do either of things?

I’ve got clearance, you’ve got 24 hours to get me the report, otherwise pack your bags

Can someone explain why there’s no god damn report on this session!!!

Fritsch will play deep forward and I'll be shocked if he plays anywhere else and absolutely flabbergasted if he plays any kind of link up role. If he builds his tank and his running power he could roam but he's at his most damaging within 40 of goal.

I’m thinking wings of Langdon and Lindsay, Sharp, Sparrow, Bowey, Spargo and Windsor. Plenty of competition for spots with a fit list

Hird’s well and truly done his time. You lot carry on like you’ve never made a mistake. He’s got a wealth of football knowledge and we’re asking him to share some, hardly a big deal. Yes he majorly stuffed up and yes he never really at the balls to own it. He has however had his whole life largely ruined by the event as have many of the players who were involved, something that will haunt him till he dies I’d suspect. Essendon weren’t on their own here. Geelong, players at Melbourne and others all had dealings with Dank and received meds, I won’t name names but if you don’t know who you’ve had your head in the sand.

I don’t think you can underestimate the hit your confidence takes when you’re playing with a badly injured hand, especially as an onballer.

I’m guessing Hunch and Johnson will be competing for the 3rd tall spot. Can Hunch cover in the ruck?

Buy less sausages

Strange place for an injury, looks like he’s had a shot and it’s got infected or it’s shoulder related which isn’t good news.
