Forgotten man. If he can get fit, ANB's spot is up for grabs. His inside 50 connection was elite in 2021.

Nowadays? I'm still haunted by his first 100 games in defence. Turner looks like he will be a terrific third tall. Mobile, good defensive pressure, bit of nasty in him. We just really need someone else to step up.

Can't really win watching this one. Nothing to play for, no kids playing other than Tholstrup, senior players have really given up. At least when you're rebuilding you can watch to see 'good signs', but this is just meaningless.

McClure has been so far off in the last 12 months, both in his 'opinions' and 'mail'. I'd trust Morris far more than McClure.

Good to see B. Brown playing. Hope it he gets through OK. Normally i'm not one to mess with selection integrity but i'd be OK if he got a farewell game next week.

You forgot Carlton

Jack will be incredibly valuable to even to a rebuilding side. We should all be familiar with how the Dean Bailey and Mark Neeld rebuilds went without experienced, mature leaders to support the kids. If we want flexibility, that should've been considered when giving Laurie an extension. Or trading for Jack Billings with two years left on his deal. Or trading for McAdam.

Essendon will demand two first-round picks for him

McQualter reported to be in the running for WCE job.

Would prefer Dev Robertson

HB: AMW FF: K Brown, Jefferson Foll: Rivers, McVee Couldn't give a stuff about the other positions, just want to see these inclusions and positional moves.

I'm not that interested in going to our last game of the year. We're playing boring footy. We're playing losing footy. Everything about the club is bad news. The club should know this. Attendances have been terrible recently. The last game of the year, in prime time, and we'll get swallowed up by Collingwood supporters. How could the club address this? Firstly, what about a celebration for Bryashaw? The game starts at 7.40. Put on a highlights package at 7.10, the key being 7.10 for Angus' number. Encourage everyone to wear something on their head. Dees beanies, big freeze beanies, hats, whatever you like, in tribute of his headwear. Have a sale at the Demon shop. Second, we can celebrate ANB. It's not often that players leave a club and get thanked for their contribution. He deserves it. Third, [censored] COLLINGWOOD. They can go to hell. I want the players revved up and their weight thrown around. No nice guy with Maynard this time. What else? Can the club buy up some tickets and do a giveaway? Something to get fans to the game and have a happy moment, at least until the game starts.

Absolutely shocked, gutted, way too many other words come to mind. Cannot believe it. Heart and soul player, always loved the way he would grab his guernsey on the chest when kicking a big goal. Can't believe it. Hopefully it's Port so we can use it for Houston....

Saints are playing well. They won't be Geelong next week but would be a decent chance against Carlton in the last round. A chance we could end up with pick 5.

Jackson was worth a goal a game, either off his own boot or other work around the ground. We could have definitely won the flag last year if we was still with us. Unfortunately it seems his mind was made up to move home and there was nothing we could do about it. Not really worth revisiting.

I really wish Billings wasn't under contract. He either plays 💩 the whole game, or if he plays well, he'll lay a 💩 in an important moment and undo all the hard work. Either way, it's 💩.

Dead rubber game played at Saturday 1.45 on the Gold Coast, with a forecast of sunny and mid 20s. If you ever wanted to debut a young tall forward there would be no better time to do it. No pressure and perfect conditions.

Kozzy will be AA next year if not this year. He might win our best and fairest. Petracca showed he can almost win games by himself as a forward. If he fully recovers, his injury may have been a blessing as it's forced us had to test what the midfield looks like without Trac there all the time. Windsor is the best draft pick since Oliver. Gawn can play for a few more years, we just need to put him on a program of rest next year. We really need to look at how Geelong have operated over the years. Turner could be a great third tall option. JVR is SO close, he just needs to take his opportunities. Hold two more marks a game and we're in business. Oliver was bad, but at least he played. 9 months ago the stories were that he'd never play again.

Lost 4 games to top 8 sides by under a goal. Our best footy is still competitive with the best, we've got Petracca to come back, Oliver surely to find it again, and young guns like Kozzy and Mcvee who are yet to even hit their prime age. There's still hope for another flag.

Pickett is goal or two away from really putting himself into AA contention.

Reckon we might lose by 10 goals tonight... and Port will only kick 12 goals.

I feel sorry for his fiance

Hibberd was 27 when he came to us. All-Australian in his first year. Played in a Grand Final 4 years later aged 31. The difference here will be the asking price.

These changes suggest Goody is serious in thinking that we're not out of the finals race. We're not going to make it and it's hurting the development of a player that can help us next year (AMW).
