Roost it far

Agreed

I don’t think the forward line is too bad JVR, Turner, Fritsch, Pickett, Petracca, Langford, Chandler, Spargo, speculate on Johnson or Jefferson proving handy, Petty can swing down there. I think there’s enough weapons to kick a winning score especially with the strength we hold through the middle and defensively where we’re as good as anyone.

I wouldn’t think so but I like hypotheticals

It’d be a pity to miss on a talent of the potential of Roy George because we’re hoping an NQR ruck might make it.

Another question. If you put a player on the LTI and then the original player returns can you keep the add on on your list in any capacity or are they delisted?

Thats my thinking. Bar Lever, Spargo and now Chandler we've got a list who've enjoyed a longer and way less interrupted preseason than we've had since 2020. Then you add a softer draw, some very strong new recruits and a solid Max back up and I honestly think we're going to be challenging at the pointy end.

I find it interesting that there’s quite a bit of talk about the pies winning the flag. Personally I think they’ve got zero chance.

Tell them to postpone

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
