Roost it far

I think one of the things that we should be able to benefit hugely from this coming season is improved fitness and thus greatly improved two way running.

Until Jeffo proves something he’s just another big guy without the requisite appetite.

I guess it comes down to his attack on the ball and his ability to pinch hit in the ruck thus relieving JVR of those duties. If he can split packs, kick the odd goal and scare a few opposition defenders he’s paid his way. I’m sick of recruiting guys without the prerequisite hunger for the contest. It’s the missing piece in our forward half. I’d give him 5-6 weeks to prove he can help. There’s no love yet.

I think Lindsay may replace Salem if his body lets him down. TMac very unlucky. A half forward line with Petracca and Langford is mouth watering

I think they need to penalise the guy who lifts his knee and doesn’t mark it or something like that. Not quite sure how it works. Had Petracca been on the ground scrambling for the ball and Moore came in with his knee it would be a free kick so the same should apply in the pack situation???

I’ve just been for a drive in my Toyota, listening to the news on my Toyota radio when all of a sudden my phone rang which I answered on my Toyota Bluetooth. Thankfully it was just my mechanic reminding me I have a Toyota service tomorrow on my Toyota.

Rock on Demonlanders, it’s been a pleasure reading almost all of your opinions. Can’t wait for next year I think it might be a special one. Have a great Xmas and a rocking new year. Hug your kids, your partners, your friends and hell, even hug your family!

I’d pay $2m to drive it fast on all roads, unfortunately my driving skills far outweigh my financial skills so I’ll settle for driving at the limit in my old Toyota.

I want Johnson in the side to see what he can add. I’m sick of drafting these low rung talls and never playing them. I think his attack on the ball just might make him a handy forward addition and I’d like to see him given the opportunity to prove himself. Play him through the first 5-6 weeks, we’ve nothing to lose.

There’s only one way to drive a Ferrari.

It’s harder for him with Petty going back. We can’t/won’t/it’s unlikely we play 4 talls.

I’m guessing we’ll enter through the existing tunnel under the track

That sounds very enticing

Dingley is a 💩 hole, plain and simple

I agree but he’s coming from a long way back

I actually like the idea of Sparrow playing ANB’s role. He’s toned down and can probably run all day. Spargo doesn’t hit the scoreboard nearly enough. He’s a link player with his beautiful kicking. Sharp remains an unknown quantity. Chandler appears the most likely option to replace Pickett as a crumbing forward, well unless Roy George makes his way to the list.

Chandler appears the front runner but if Pickett becomes a mid then surely Chandler is our crumbing forward. That’s the way I see Sparrow having his chance. Where’s he been training this off season?

We live in hope.

He signs his name with #34, that says to me he's coming our way. I'm more confident now than I was last year.

Sparrow's such an interesting one for mine. Currently I don't have him best 22, perhaps as sub. Post 21 I though the sky was the limit for him but he's kind of gone nowhere since. On the other hand he's a potential ANB replacement and if he can make that his role he may of just found himself a position in the side. I mean beyond that where does he fit now that Rivers, Langford and even Pickett have become mids? Time will tell.

Personally I'm a believer that if we can fix our midfield we can fix our problems. Our defence remains sound and with depth. Our forward line now has enough to be more than threatening. Our main midfield of Petracca, Oliver, Viney, Rivers, Langford and Pickett, along with the surrounding run of Windsor, Langdon, Bowey, McVee, Salem, Sharp, Spargo and Lindsay should be strong enough to compete at the top end of the competition. It's a big year for the coaches, finding the gameplan that gets the best out of this group. Personally I think we'll see our 21 plan tweaked without major changes. I'm expecting to see full team defence to force turnovers on the fast transition teams and then some clean possessions to an improved forward line. Think of the KB game against the Pies in 23, that's the template for mine but with improved forward movement and goal kicking. We completely shut them down and should have won by 6-8 goals.

You seriously underestimate Joe Daniher. He's an absolute top tier key forward.

It’s a huge amount of largely wasted land. It’ll be a real shame if this doesn’t go our way.

I was being belligerent…..I think you’re correct. Although I thought we signed a long term deal at Casey?

AFLW can train and play at Casey, the VFL can train and play at Casey. The AFL can train on one oval in Caulfield. Tell me how that doesn’t work
