For all those also on Flanders watch

Would do this in a heartbeat

lol you know what I mean 🤣

Really don’t understand why people are against bringing in Mihocek He’s been playing through a foot injury the last third of the season If Pies weren’t in finals he likely wouldn’t have been playing at all Get that right over preseason and at minimum he’ll be a serviceable tall forward for us next year And if that’s a low bar - it’s because we haven’t had anything close to a serviceable tall forward since Ben Brown We’re crying out for someone to lead and provide structure to our forward line, while also helping the development of JVR, Jefferson etc He’ll cost us nothing and will give us cover for a few years

I think I remember Taylor saying that they felt there was a significant drop off in talent after that pick, so they thought it was important to get two picks inside the top 13 or so Kolt might not have been the specific target but seems like he was in a group of players we rated higher than the remainder of the draft

Should’ve smoked em

More than happy for King to finish of the season with the Cats It’s good business from both us and them Besides, if he can do for us what he’s doing for the Cats I don’t think too many people will be unhappy

Danger reminding everyone why you need a Trac-like player come finals And Geelong showing that you can still carry poor kicks like Danger if you have the right players around them Hopefully King can bring some of that IP with him and we allow Trac to play to his strengths in a better system

If nothing else at least we’ll be able to say King was involved in two premierships as assistant coach 🤷

Reckon the ‘cultural’ question marks over Rachelle are way overblown To me he’s in the same ballpark as Watson, Ginnivan, Papley etc As long as they’re working hard and kicking goals I don’t mind if you’re having fun on the field And from all reports he’s very close with a lot of his teammates, so can’t be that bad for team culture

The word was we originally traded for a second first round pick to target Holmes and Bowey Geelong supposedly got word of this and traded with Richmond - who had the pick ahead of us - to take Holmes before we could So Holmes and Bowey became Bowey and Laurie because we thought no one else was targeting Holmes in that range

Clearly not on his output over his first two years, but who knows where he’ll be two years from now I do agree that we overpaid to trade for that pick though - every chance we still could have drafted him while using those second round picks on a Logan Morris or Joel Freijah Something I hope were more cognisant of in the future

While I generally agree, it’s a bit early to write off Kolt Laurie instead of Holmes though? The stuff of nightmares

I actually don’t mind Simpkin as a player and he could definitely play a role for us But no way would you want to give up a decent pick and that much coin for him

5th!? What a joke Put him in a finals team and he’d be 1 or 2
