Howes only in because of May. If May is fit, he is in and Howes is out. McVee in for Turner. Clearly Howes is ahead of Adams in selection committee minds. Only change to that is if we need more height, then Adams in the only other consideration is Jeffo in for another tall target FWD. Does re replace Melk?

lets shake it up a touch, and try a few things.... Out - Melk, Fritsch, TMac, Langford, Henderson In - Jeffo, Fullerton, McVee, Kolt and Adams out - age and poor form in - good form and pace

no doubt there wil be significant change to list at year end. What happens with Trac, Oliver, Koz etc will be facinating. No doubt also McVee is still holding off for signing? I suspect Fritsch will consider a trade also However we also need to throw everything at the remainder of the season and leave no stone unturned. Some thoughts. Viney to focus on being a pressure forward only. Rotate in midfield only - not core midfield role. Fullerton to play as marking target fwd and relive Max in Ruck - this will allow JVR to purely focus on forward craft Jefferson must have a long go at it. Put him forward and leave him there with JVR Johnson and Henderson - break glass in case of emergency - do not play them in favour of kids unless they are killing it. Must play Adams. Windsor to play as outside mid Keep Langdon on the wing. dont put him in the middle - Lindsay other wing. McVee back and Rivers in mid Langford at casey for while until you bring him back - he will be good Fritsch - statement required - send him to Casey Kolt - get him in Give opportunities for Brown and Culley No more - melksham, billings or Woewodin - break glass in case of emergency only Petty must stay back Turner, Sparrow and Sharp - remain fringe

based on Goody Presser, X is in but Fritsch not going anywhere. Interesting to see what changes are made given he is sticking to the players just need to keep playing together... sounds like minimal changes.

after round 2, perhaps treat this game as a mulligan....as bad as it was. That said, there are a few things you cant ignore. Effort, (or lack there of) in some cases was poor, skill was another, lack of adherance to game plan - and if our list of "outs" wasnt so long a few players in the team now would be running around at Casey. Woewodin was out of his depth. Spargo seemed a mile off the pace of the game (understandable - although why rush him back), Sparrow was MIA and Sharp just got lost. That said, some possible considerations (not all), although there is no way Goody will make this many changes - Fullerton in for Jeffo - May in for TMac - Adams in for Howes (needs to go back to Casey) - Langford in for Woewodin (need to go back to Casey) - Windsor (if fit) to come in for Spargo (like Spargo but hes not ready) - Melk in for Fritta (go back to Csey and get some form) - AJ in for Turner (pure balance and Turner can also get some form and fwd craft)

im thinking 1 - either jeffo or Johnson - Prefer Jeffo 2 - Langford and Sharp - In 3 - Billings and Lindsay - In (Billings 2 be sub) 4- Henderson and TMac - No

Agree. Billings has been great at finding the footy and delivering around the ground. However clearly his mental "demons" on front of goal are not going to change. Therefore there are a few options. Change his role, dont play him or as mentioned, provide an option to hand off when he is setting up for goal.

AFL Draft: Six clubs automatically rookie list Academy prospects following signing window Confirmed coming in as cat b

can someone confirm, we have the following available: - senior list spots - 3 (assuming we stop at 36) - 5 if we go to 38 - Rookie A - 2 - (assuming 36 senior and AMW now Rookie A) - 0 (if we go to 38 senior) - Rookie B - 2

according to SEN article yesterday, Smith has already been delisted.

assuming Smith is gone (formality) and McVee is promoted, situation as I see it is a maximum of 8 spots available: - Senior List (current 32) - 4 to 6 additional spots available - Rookie List (6) - 0 to 2 additional spots available (1 to 3 if Hore Delisted) - Rookie B (1) - 1 spot available a few choices between 2 draft picks, DFA options and SPP's

interesting to see we we trade for him or if the view by clubs is that we will delist him anyway and someone can pick him up for nothing as a DFA.

so interesting that of all the trade targets / whispers re the dees, none of them are looking that likely: - Houston - not getting done - Derksen - unlikely - Owies - limited interest - Lord - hail mary but no We have our back up ruck, but still need a KPF and midfield depth. - KPF - Krueger seems a likely fit, Membrey still available - Mid - Dev Roberston has not been spoken of other than West Coast

i think there is a complete disconnect between list management team and coaching. why bring someone to the club and never play them in the role in which they were brought in for....so many examples of this over last few years.

Jason McCartney making it clear on Trade Radio that they expect Wade is staying at GWS

Kane is nothing more than an ill informed, over opinionated, footy shock jock. he would have no idea what the inner workings and discussions are

heard he was up to some antics at Brownlow night, as well as failed to meet some agreements re medical. I have faith that club has engaged this review and the review has recommended these actions. So i work on the fact we asked for review, got a review and now take recommendations from review. Im sure Clarry, Pluckett and the chase for Jimmy Bartel + others is directly from the review. Unnervy feeling but got to trust the process.

is it just me, or is there a lot of physical and style similarities between Caleb Windsor and Robbie Flower? running style, kicking style ...

hear hear....RIP Robbie

at the end of the day no one is bigger than the club, Jezza, Buddy, Barassi, Ablett etc all left to go elsewhere and their clubs were just fine. as long as we get remunerated accordingly, life ill go on and the Dees will be just fine. If Clarry wants out - so be it. there are obvious issues. 2 good players, 1 good player and great pick. as long as we are compensated.

straight swap. Butters for Oliver

Peatling, Derksen, Campbell, Lord. Robertson if we cant get Peatling + draft That'll do Thanks

would love it but cant see it happening

so i wonder where he will fit? Mid to replace McQualter, fwd, or def and move chaplin?

I think this will work well when Tassie comes in in 2026, and Northern Thunder not long after
