Delist: Hunter, Smith, KFW Retire: BBB, Gus 😭 Trade: ANB, Tommo(out of contract will surely look elsewhere) Will possibly be a couple of kids not offered contracts too, I think Schache getv1 year just to cover Tommo. Can't cut too deep with height. On notice for 2025: Billings, McAdam, Sparrow, Fullerton, Laurie

Exactly, imo Hogan has had a better year than any if them. But won't get a look because he is a forward, even though it's one of the hardest positions on the ground and you are tagged every week

Said as soon as we were interested he is lazy and has an attitude problem. And not young. They really bent us over there

Nothing to take out of that game, a lot of guys looking for the end. Good to see Salem hit some form in the past couple of weeks. Thanks for the year gents, and I look forward to a fresh fit Dees for 2025

Do people think if Port do make the GF he might want to stay. That feeling of missing out? Hopefully we get him, if we win this weekend and end up with pick 9-10 I'm happy giving thst up for him. Pick 6 or 7 is overs but sometimes gotta give that up to pry someone out. Two first rounders is laughable and just Port putting up an initial price.

This kid has superstar attributes, I don't rate Nick's as a coach. Looks a bit "my way or the highway" type. Goody is a players coach. Recon he coukd get the best out of him. Attach him to Petraccas hip for a pre-season and watch him after a big pre-season. It's a pipe dream, but yeh if McAdam is worth a 2nd rounder what's ANB worth. I still can't believe we went after McAdam let alone paid that for him. Still makes me angry

If there Is even the slightest bit of unrest with Rachelle at Adelaide we simply have to enquire. And work it in the ANB trade, we could seriously get a steal here.

How do you think we will perform this week? Can be a big ask fronting up after travel and a game in hot conditions. last game of the year hopefully training is just walking laps this week!

No

A bit too much noise on this. "IF" any of this is true and Trac is causing this. I think the club need to bring him in, and have a stern word to him. something along the lines of: "you are a leader of this club on 1mil+ a year, we have had 1 bad year. if you have issues come to us. we will work through them, we don't want our club dragged through the media like this." Now this is assuming Trac hasn't talked to anyone about these issues and his management etc are leaking info.

Gents, this win will no doubt be played down by the media. Only the second time GC have lost at home and we did it by 50 points. This is a club by all reports may as well shut the doors. Even the commentary was bloody woeful, we were up by 20 point in the third and all they talked about was GC and Mac Andrew who was comprehensively beaten by JVR in all stats. Rivers looked cooked and the midfield role may be catching up with him, his kicking was poor. His short kicking has always been a bit iffy. But a pre season into him focusing on these things I thing he is in for a big year next year. Now let's all get to the G this weekend, it's our turn to end the Pies finals hopes!! Oh it will be so sweet, please let it happen.

Exactly what he was scouted for.

I agree, but I hope we are asking the question

no, that was fine in 2021 when we had Brown, TMac and Fritta. We now have a fwd line of JVR, Jefferson and Kentfield. These kids need to be taught forwards craft. Talent alone does not get you there

not sure any of them are good targets as forward coaches

Nick or Jack Riewoldt would be my targets. Jack was a sole key fwd in an average forward line that won a flag, then evolved his game to incorporate another key fwd to join him and Dusty(Petracca). He is a great fit. Nick is apparently coming back to Aus soon and he has a wealth of knowledge on work ethic and forward craft. Id be happy with either or

Thanks Staff, but it's time for a change. No il feelings toward him, but it's the area we need change in most.

Tom Morris not asking any question and driving his story in Goodwin's press conference says a fair bit. An Idea, i believe Petracca is still all in and keen as for 2025. Should we make him Co-Capt with Max for him to take over in 2026? If he wants it. I think he would really love the role and we know whilst Max is still there he will always be a leader regardless of the C next to his name

It's a classic media beat up to drive the story of the "Imploding Dees" Roos asked Viney, he said no. And now is in discussions of extending his current contract. But that's too boring a story

Perfect opportunity to ruin a kid, Jefferson isn't kicking goals in this side atm. Nor is he taking 7 marks and 8 contested possessions as Petty did. Petty is averaging 11 disp and 5.8 marks over the last 6 weeks. He is finding form, I don't think he is a forward but bringing in a young kid who is inconsistent at VFL level into a side that is missing Brayshway, Oliver, Petracca, May and Windsor is asking to kill his confidence. For 2 games, 0 point to it. Yup Melk has been poor, but we need some experienced heads in the team. I'm fine if he is dropped though, hard fo players to have immediate impact after a knee, let alone a 32yo

FB: Bowey Tommo McVee HB: Salem TMac Lever C: Billings Viney Langdon HF: ANB Petty Chandler FF: Kossie JVR Fritsch Mid: Gawn Rivers Sparrow Int: Kolt, Turner, AMW, Melksham, Howes(Sub) Ins: Bowey, AMW, Melk(from Sub) Out: Oliver, Hore, Howes (to Sub)

Yup like this one, he is a classy half forward. Another I believe we should go hard at, especially if ANB chooses Adelaide is Rachele. This kid is a star in the making and has the potential to be a Toby Greene style player. nothing saying he wants out but he did make comments about not getting midfield time in the media, hope we ask some questions.

Nope, he doesn't offer anything to our midfield. and isn't coming to be a back up

Windsor and Kolt Petty's body coming good towards end of year only a couple of wins out of the 8 with losing a starting Midfielder & 2 fringe players without being able to replace them before the season even started. Then losing our best midfielder for half the year and our next best midfielder with the off season from hell. emergence of a couple of fringe players - AMW, Howes, Turner Rivers midfield emergence

100% agree, I'm kind of hoping we do deal with the Crows so we can hold that in front of them. No way McAdam was ever worth that. Still dirty he is on our list!
