Id actually like to see the players engage in public self flagellation to ensure the DLers stay happy 🙄

In what universe is Spargo heading to the Giants? No connection to Sydney and the antithesis of a GWS player.

100% yes to trading lever, KPD are high value on the market. Barass was worth a future 1st, 2nd, 3rd. I believe we can extract a future 1st and 2nd for Lever. Even if it means a pick swap on return.

Coleman is just injury prone after that ACL - just reported that he is out for 6-8 with a quad injury.

We will never receive the value we perceive we deserve in a trade for these two, but we are hamstrung by their huge contracts. IMO Oliver or Trac would play high level football at a team that lacks a big body mid i.e., Geelong/Crows/North/Saints/Dons/Rich. But, it's time to make the tough call on one of them. Short term pain for long term gain, getting one of them off the books means we have cap space to retain talent and attract free agents AND allows Rivers/Langford genuine midfield minutes. If this means paying part of their salary or trading for cheap, it is what it is.

While our overall list is quite healthy, we've had numerous players come back from injury interrupted pre-seasons or are coming back from injury last year, it makes up a fair chunk of our best 22. I would include Petracca, Oliver, Lever, McVee, Windsor and Lindsay with Spargo and Tholstrup borderline 22. Selwyn has done well to have these guys playing decent footy again. The decision to put most of these players straight into the firsts without giving them time to build form in 2s has little to do with Selwyn and more-so the selection committee's rigid view around team structure.

It's been a pleasure watching this team the last couple weeks. I really hope we can come perform strongly after the bye next week against two top ranked sides in box hill and the bears.

I think this senior leadership group is permanently scarred after the loss of Brayshaw and the two straight set finals exits. The Swans were in the same boat after 2 grand final failures. But they've looked much fresher with Cox at the helm. It has to be time, couldn't take another year of this.

I pray for these demonland servers

This is torture

SPARGOAT TACKLE

We are cooking the clock inside our 50

Lord Max please forgive for our sins

Must get Max back on

We are gassed, we have to hold on

Saints backline made us look foolish last game, credit must be given to the football department as we have them in all sorts right now

Id love to see how many stand 50s we've given away this year, we must be at the top of the list

Trac has been more confident in the air recently, good to see

They stuck Wilkie onto Fritsch, the wanted to disrupt the match up and keep Fritta free

Yeah unfortunately windhager smashed kozzy last time, revenge today i hope

Windsor looks great around stoppages, early days but his best game for the year

I love our young backline, we look so fast exiting d50

Relative to our start last week, this is much much better

Hot start, we look fired up and wanting to bring some physicality
