Grundy great goal from the ruck contest in the goal-square. Interesting to see Blake Howes as runner -
-
That FA age bracket starts next year with 26yos then.
-
Half true. We had a week off before we played WC at Waverley in the SF due to their draw with Collingwood in the QF in week one and their replay. We should have beaten WC, we let a golden opportunity slip that year.
-
Just own it.
-
Simpler just to trade with North direct
-
-
No guarantee WC gets Curtin with 4 or 5 though
-
2 + 16 for 1? WC get Curtin and a bonus 1st rounder (Port's)

West Coast and North winning in consecutive weeks doesn't bode well for the vital signs of tanking ... We tanked too obviously and I admit I was in favour of it but I was wrong, it was bad cultural practice and teams have learned from that.
-
Certainly a possibility. And we would have had access to him in the Jackson trade so it appears we didn't rate him sufficiently. We might have dodged a bullet and avoided diluting the lucrative Freo draft haul there. Matt Flynn is UFA this year ...

Who exactly would you have recruited last year who could have capably rucked while Max was injured this year and rucked 50:50 in 14 games enabling Max to hit this time of year in full fitness compared to last year when he was broken? You provided an example of someone who wasn't available - that's not too hard to do.

Kieren Briggs signed a 2 year contract at GWS at the end of 2022, he wasn't available to us last year. https://www.zerohanger.com/giants-ruckman-kieren-briggs-re-signs-126716/

I think we can find out what TMac offers at Casey. It's about his mobility and ability to jump. We know what he can do at AFL level if these are up to scratch. We also know what Tomlinson gives at AFL level and it's not ideal. Now is the time to see if D.Turner can give more, we can't find that out playing him more at Casey. We need to see him at AFL level. We're going for a tall Fritsch for a small Laurie - so the sub will be a small.

If we didn't have Grundy who else would we have got? Name names. It would have to be someone who could genuinely offer something at senior level like Grundy has when Max was injured and in tandem with Max. Have you completely forgotten that Max was totally broken at the end of last year and that's a big reason why we lost two finals narrowly? Grundy has definitely enabled Max to hit this part of the season fit and firing.

A modest two year extension makes perfect sense and encourages Goodwin to make medium term selection and list decisions rather than rash short term ones. It also gives assistants like Yze clarity on their future.
-
What's Lyon's role in this? We don't have to convince Reid of anything, we just give him a courtesy heads up that we, a top 4 Victorian club, like him and want to draft him, and he may hear that we're after pick one to do it. What's not to like? It's the holder of pick one that needs convincing.
-
It often looks like that each year but teams rankings shoot up with good finals wins and come into the historical flag range.
-
Do you think they're worried that Brisbane might tear them apart at the Gabba?
-
Squiggle has us winning the flag: https://live.squiggle.com.au/# - see Forecast tab I think we will if we beat Collingwood in the QF, if not it's going to hard.
