Looks like he has got himself right this year which is good to see. A change of club and environment was exactly what he needed. Good for him.

Long lay off. Not fit enough… Players that are injured over pre season should not be rushed.. it clearly doesn’t work. Instead make them do the full program and if it means 2-3 months of the season so be it.

I suspect Kolt is severely underdone with a limited pre season. Yes probably a regression but give the coaches g Should give him a month training block get him running in top of the ground play a month in the 2s to build form then look at him for the 1s only if he demands it.

Ridiculous now.

That’s their 3rd goal from non frees in the one quarter. Ultra pathetic.

You’d hate to be a Crows supporter - the amount of times the umpires influence their game with the Pies in the last 5 years is mind boggling.

That one game is what people are basing his entire future capability around. Had he not had that, he would definitely be in bust territory. I doubt many would put $2M in front of him - that is just media hype.

Not a chance. They have nothing to offer. WC will want players and picks.

Well Amaety not playing next week

Grundys ruck tactic has to be blocking . You are not allowing a free run at the ball.

Why would you give up Windsor? He is a gun. I’d rather send Rivers there.

Reid for Koz would be a fair swap. Might have to throw in a F1. Kozzy wants to go to WA… last I checked there were 2 clubs there.

It’s a hard ship to turn around - one where you feel like you are not living up to expectation - and I think a reset at another club maybe beneficial to him. Knowing our luck he’d end up being the next Ambrossio

The kid has skill. I just think he regularly freezes under the lime light of AFL and potentially lacks confidence amongst his peers.

JVR only came in as Petty was concussed. But agree with others Fritta must have photos of Goody.

Both Trac and Oliver to play 200 games this year assuming nothing sinister. Just can’t help but feel sad that it had to happen this year of all years. Probably a little unlikely to win in their milestone games.

He is huge. Doesn’t leave anything on the table. The ultimate professional.

Freekickhawthorn . Is there any more arrogant team than hawthorn? [censored] they haven’t learnt a shred of humility

Like Voltron? I like where your heads at LG.

Now I’ll say upfront that stats isn’t the be all and end all of measuring a players impact on a game - in particular SuperCoach points. But it does provide some insight relevant to the this recent discussion in the thread around importance of rucks. SuperCoach player ratings have 4 of the top 11 players as rucks based on total points (same players in top 15 when considered S averages). Gawn and XErri are actually 1 & 2 based on total points. Not saying that settles the argument, but SC ratings are based on Champion Data and they know a thing or two about player impact.

I’d bank on the FS being dead in the water by then. Already on its last legs it’ll only take one more top 5 prospect getting to a top 4 club to kill it.

Upgrade on Salo..didn’t think about that. Good pick up.

Isnt top flight by any stretch, but would be in the upper echelon of the next rung down. I like his speed and athletic ability. In fact would be a close substitute for Pig.

we are not dead yet, but blood pressure is 20 over 10, pulse is at 2 bpm and we being placed on life support.

yep its the sort of thing you'd say once you have told the club you want to leave. It does mainly two things: 1) stops the speculation and constant distractions 2) tries to level the trade negotiations as a player wanting out is seen as a weaker hand.
