KozzyCan

They got JHF and Willie Rioli for picks 9 and 20 and some late junk picks. It was a massive steal.

Port got JHF for an absolute bargain. I think similar to North knocking back Adelaide's pre-draft offer for pick 1 West Coast will regret knocking our offer back for Reid.

That's a ridiculous suspension. Archer should challenge.

There had been showers all day so it was very greasy. It was clearly not a day for tall marking forwards which was reflected all game. Playing three talls and max floating forward was never going to work. We once again wasted far too many good forward entries.

Ehh, feeling pretty nothing about this game aside from a few pleasing individual performances. The way we lost, just felt like I've seen this movie a thousand times before. Our forwardline is still really dysfunctional and wasn't helped by playing so many talls in torrential rain, so that's on the coaches. Goodwin has promised a different brand of footy and that we'll have some teething issues as a result, so I'll be patient. But so far I can't see a great deal of difference in how we've played over the past few years.

Cats just doing their thing. Make it look so easy at their training ground. Dogs got absolutely fleeced in the Smith trade. Murphy Reid a positive for Freo. If Jackson doesn't get up I'd look at him as part of the Kozzy trade.

Not seen those yet. Will put them on my list!

S2 of Yellow Jackets annoyed me so much I haven't bothered with season 3. Sounds like I'm not missing much. Like Ross Lyon I'm onto White Lotus.

I'd be very surprised if Hawthorn miss finals, they look top 4 quality.

Really meanders, doesn't it?

Just ignore it mate.

I didn't pick it out.

He made his stats disappear!

Wtf is with player family members airing their dirty laundry all over facebook?

Giants will be walking the ball out of our forwardline, that is madness.

Johnson allows us to not play JVR in the ruck and plays with a level of physicality Turner doesn't. Looked a lot stronger in the practice matches and would be better in the wet imo.

Johnson and JVR should be our only tall forwards this week.

Amazing comeback from Richmond. Lalor looks the goods. Give em a mulligan in round one but jeez were Carlton poor.

Frost is a completely different player.

Just a squad but looks like a very tall team in the wet.

I don't think he's worth the trade, that wasn't my point. I think there have been a few comments about his personality and attitude which have been pretty unfair.

Just reminded of that ridiculous car a, car b analogy in his tribunal hearing.

I think a lot of people here are being extremely harsh on a young player who has faced more scrutiny than just about any player ever.

Going to be hard to see what we're actually trying to do with our gameplan this week if the forecast is true. It's going to be a slog.

It's only made sense as a crowd building exercise to kick off the season, but even then there would be better ways to achieve that purpose. With opening round here it's lost whatever juice it once had and it's just a random Thursday night game now.
