  1. Jefferson is likely a bust and at pick 15 a pretty expensive one.
  2. GWS remind me of us in 21. It’s the hunger and belief that we just don’t have.
  3. I’d almost take a bottom 4 finish so as to recruit and bounce in 25-26. Bit like 2019. Problem is how to you keep guys like Petty and attract key forwards when you finish that low?
  4. Simplistic in that Key Forwards don’t fall out of trees but he’s right. We’re now banking on an injured backmen who may leave at years end to be our key forward. I really hope we’ve got the cheque book out at years end. Is Cadman contracted next year? I’d take JUH in a heartbeat. If Petty puts together a good season we need to sign him. We can’t go to the draft as we need a player Round 1 next year.
  5. No one has told me whether Fullerton is any good?
  6. Briggs will kill Gawn
  7. They can kick. We could kick in 21, wtf happened?
  8. They’re really good
  9. If hogan was at Melbourne he would of slipped over and broken his foot going for that mark
  10. They also had belief, determination and hunger banged into them.
  11. Because Goodwin has dropped the ball. We know it so.
  12. No but we’re fielding a weak side. Try these names on for size Petty, Hibberd, Grundy, Bowey replaced by Schache, Laurie, Windsor and Howes. I guess what I’m trying to say is we can’t afford any more key injuries, Schache can’t play ever again. It really makes the non playing of Grundy embarrassing. There was a Flag up for grabs and we didn’t even pick our best side. All the club apologists over this preseason would be mocking any other club who did what we did. Amateur hour. And yes I will keep banging on about it because we’re a rung below these clubs now and it’s hard to get back up. We almost need to bottom out and get some top picks.
  13. We should have gone hard for Hogan 2 years ago.
  14. Not unless injuries stop happening and Petty and McAdam start playing well. I’m wondering if we’ve totally changed our plan for this year. Scrounge as many wins as possible in the first half, lock down best 23 and come hard in the second half. Fullerton very important to us…..can he actually play?
  15. GWS will belt us. Great mix of ages, strong, determined and hungry. We look old and then too young, unfit and not up to it. The vibe of GWS is awesome
  16. Get JUH 3 things need to happen for us to step up again next season Recruit a ready made forward such as JUH Adams, Windsor, and 1 of AMW and Brown all have to be AFL solid players next season. Adam’s to replace May, Windsor on the wing, Brown on the bench Change the game plan and stop relying on Gawn.
  17. What we really need is Adam’s to make the step to AFL. That’s my wish for this year.
  18. So it sounds like TMac is preparing to cover May in case of injury and no one else is AFL ready. Our stocks past best 23-24 are thin
  19. Let’s see what Hore can do……big big loss, at this rate we’ll be fielding half a VFL side soon enough
  20. Bowey 8-10 weeks is a big loss
  21. Question for track watchers. Is Adam’s a likely prospect?

    Nicely put. I wonder if anyone answers for what really is a monumental stuff up. Dare I say it but clubs with a strong culture don’t do this. Just add it to the list of post and pre season howlers.

    Because we are just a tad soft, only an inkling but just enough to exploit
  24. Out: Bowie, Spargo, Schache In: Pickett, Woewodin, Fullerton
  25. If BBrown or TMac get a game we’re done
