From a pure ‘list development’ POV, it would be ideal for ‘a JVR’ to come in with ‘a Brown’ still with 2 seasons left so that the younger player can have some ‘protection’ from having the better defender and having too many targets on his head. I don’t think we can simply think that TMac and Brown are to be replaced by JVR and Jefferson EVEN IF those players are the talents we hope them to be. And we can’t squander the 2/3 years we have left with May and Gawn with our younger stars.

LOL

They are only 26 and 25… Live in the moment.

Oh I’m sorry, did I give the impression I gave a flying? Consider my posts in this thread, and specifically about your rudimentary crusade, as similar to the perfunctory discussion one has while reading the morning paper with uninteresting people.

JVR and Jefferson haven’t played a game yet - keep your irons in fires…

Slow our ball movement and it won’t matter, pressure our mids to bomb away and it won’t matter. This is on the mids this week to keep us in the game.

Maybe. But if some had their way Ben Brown would have been ‘retired’ and not 5th in the Coleman…

Wow. This smaller forward line is intriguing. Although if you don’t have Gawn then maybe don’t try exactly what you trying with Gawn. I think this CAN work if we embrace the quick movement and Brown gets to help out Fritsch deeper because the ball is coming down quicker. IF Brown has to come up further and do what TMac does, this won’t work and we won’t score more than ten goals.

Well done to Andy and Binman. Was a good listen. Interesting that loading isn’t as much of a thing than even I thought. It’s almost like our training sessions are universally intense and demanding… But again, proof in the pudding eating. Love the allusion to how great our staff are.

BUT ITS IN THE CLOUD AND THAT MEANS IT IS CONSTANTLY UP AND RUNNING PERFECTLY AND FOR FREE. Sorry, triggered.

Again, it’s about membership revenue not about numbers. The Saints gave out $1 memberships last year to meet goals… Those that only care about member numbers for the purposes of ‘voting’ are telling on themselves.

Imagine being spurred on to post from a Deeluded comment… Beggars belief.

I doubt it. Market not big enough. To me, Canberra provides a base of support that can sustain the lean years for GWS in WS. Both GC and WS are growth markets where we just need to keep cricket grounds with 8 posts ready to go as an alternative sport. In my view, we grow or we wither. Progress is never linear. Et al.

Have you had much to do with them? GWS have worked really hard to build themselves into networks through Western Syd and Canberra. Here in Canberra there is a bit of a soul to the club. It is going to take a generation to embed this in these markets. I don’t know what people expected.

Yes, this magical team with ND3, ND6, and ND12...

It’s an option but has he trained enough as a swing man? I am really keen to see a Brown, Fritsch, and Pickett/Petracca focussed forward line being supported by quick ball movement from Spargo, ANB, et al. Brown and Fritsch are at home in lead up roles and this is what this style can give them. With Gawn not there, TMac and JVR could get up the ground more and leave BBB and BFF have the leading lanes in front of goal. Sounds sexy to me.

Have you made room for the cheese slices?

Yeah, ok, you give a few people on here too much credit.

Our attack has Bayley Fritsch, Kozzie Pickett, more CP5, a rejuvenated Ben Brown, an good role playing smalls. JVR can play a role but it is more important how we move the ball, rather than who we move the ball to.

Well said. No one can ever take that moment from him. And yet here we are - Dees fans - minimising it to stroke our chins about a kid who made a bad decision.

All the mids will have to move their centre of gravity back as the kicks out of the backline are shorter and more precise. I am not entirely sold on us replicating Coll as I don’t think our list is built around precise skills. Really interested to see what our wrinkles will be.
