He came to us on 800-850k surely we are paying much less nowadays....600-650 at a guess...34, not like we are having to pay more to drag him from his club. Be gobsmacked if he was on those higher figures...and we would be foolish to pay those reported amounts!

900k per year til 2029.

Travis Boak would make a great addition in the psychologist/wellness/elite performance coach. He is going to do amazing things in this space....get in early Dee's!

Played 15 games this year and winning the reverse Coleman for most goals kicked against him. He has dropped off pretty badly. If this is sign of what is to come, I would let him go also.

A lot of our team are not very effective at tackling....Always wondered why we do not get a few of the Storm guys to help in this regard.

Ken Hinkley, Danny Daly, Steven King, Hayden Skipworth, Nathan Buckley.....sounds like the list of possible coaches is growing.

Who should be in our leadership group for next year? Is it time for a changing of the guard? Not about the game but would love to hear your thoughts ! Feel like we have gone with same/similar groups for years now....can we fast track developing some new leaders from within?

Absolutely....I am sure Sam would not be happy with how they finished the game off. It happens in most games though, junk time goals when teams take their foot off the accelerator, which is what it looked like to me. Lol Wilson is only interested in boardroom politics. Commentry on actual football, not so much!

Junk time goals are clearly more valuable to some than others. You are clearly always right though....to fit whatever narrative you feel is "more" right.

The last 5 minutes they started going slow....players may want %, but they also do not want to get injured before finals. Not cue in rack but they definitely did try and slow it up.

That part of my post was in jest. I am in agreance with you on this, not so much re Chandler. I believe Covid was a perfect storm....our team bonded and cared for each other, they actually got to know each other, + wives, kids etc(outside of training.) It seems like we have forwards groups, midfield group and backline groups that have no sense of connection. It feels like we got 3 different groups and the disconnect is huge. We are a team that does not at all seem unified. A massive rocket is needed to shake us into action. Honestly I think we need quite a few rockets, complacency has set in for too many Premiership players.

Ground the lot of them for the entire next season....covid-style. There is a distinct lack of care for each other, too many play like they do not give a stuff...for each other. You may be onto something, this seems like a majorly disconnected group. Drop Kozzie for the last game, he tends to get reported, I can see it happening again...he gave away stupid frees and 50m penalty today, looked frustrated. Let's not derail another start to season, drop him Chappy!

Not sure he is a slow starter. It is noticeable though he fumbles like crazy and his kicking/hanballing is way off. Better than average player but I would say he has turned from elite to average since that incident. The vision of his antics last week were not great, he needs to find selfless footy again, not this selfish bs that has crept in to his game. Love him to pieces though, just hope he is able to find somewhere near his best....a new coach has work to do with him, and others!

Liam Ryan apparently being monitored by Vic clubs, only 28, would we be interested?
