Roost it far

How good is this thread 😎

They can keep him

Is Fullerton happy to hit packs?

He comes out of contract in 25 years

Every club will enquire. Its Round 1, much to go under the bridge before JUH signs anywhere. I think it's 50 50 him leaving simply because of the size of the offers that are going to come. Tiges are unlikely to be attractive, nor are Hawthorn or the Dons. I'd say if Sydney go hard he'll go there, after that we're as good a chance as any.

That's an apt description of me although I'm not a marshmallow fan.

Whilst it has proven a very effective strategy I think the toll it's taking on Max is too costly. It's time for something new but losing Bowey just made that more unlikely than ever.

We’ll take Holmes, TDK and their first pick

Hahaha, I think you’ll find I’ve been very positive in years gone by. I’m just not feeling it this year even though I still believe we can win, I just think it more likely we’ll crash and burn.

interesting

That’s completely untrue

How did we draw both Adelaide teams in Gather Round…..????

That’s a bit rude

If Petty is fit he plays AFL, he’s twice Schache with a broken foot….ooops I’m not even supposed to be here

The 7 became the 6

I can't tell if this is just more made up stuff. I mean the coach is hardly likely to turn around and say "Yeh, he's a spud, he'll get the chop this week"

That’s what Salem is for, here’s hoping we persist and don’t use him to cover Bowey

This space you talk of virtually never happens in the big games. Teams are primed to run back and defend. Even the Pies played like this in the finals. Sure you get some moments but by and large our gameplan is the model. What's not working is our lack of targets and our poor kicking.

This thread isn't for me 😂

I tend to agree that he's not the answer but he's young, physical and competitive so he'll be more than useful. He needs a companion in Petty, then with Fritsch, Pickett, Petracca and ANB we have a solid forward half. We just need to get it in a bit quicker. The problem I see is after our best 23 we drop away fast and with no obvious replacements for May and Gawn we are open to problems. Maybe we'll get a good run with injury but with Gus and Smith leaving us 2 down, Melksham 3 down, BBB and TMac 5 down, Schache basically 6 down, you then add McAdam, Petty, Bowey and our list is threadbare. Unless guys like Laurie, Woewodin and Howes step up and the likes of McVee, Sparrow and Rivers keep going well we're in trouble if and when injuries strike. It looks like we've found one in Howes who by my reckoning looks set to build in confidence as the season goes on. Bowey a huge loss if it means Salem comes out of the middle.

I wouldn't be over rucking JVR. It's why we need Fullerton. If he's not up for the contest then he's another wasted selection.

Fairly well known he has issues with his Achilles

Salem stays in the middle, he needs games to find his mojo and we need a new look in there. We can plug the gap for 8 weeks

Achilles is cooked
