  1. How do we know he ticks all the boxes?
  2. Purpose was to exit Tyson so match committee didnt select him on the wing!
  3. Or after the strange but most welcome late season selection pivot to pace and run on outside we encourage Jack to keep winning ball but utilise new speedy hard running actual wingers in Langdon and Baker.
  4. Query with Zac Williams is availability not performance. Has only once had back to back 22 game seasons and only 3 22 + game seasons. 11, 8, 12, 22, 23, 2, 24, 11* Whereas Adam Saad 16, 10, 22, 22. 22., 17* *17 game home and away season. If you're paying Zac big $ for 5 years your fingers are crossed that he'll be on the park consistently. High reward if he is. Cap risk if he's sitting in the stands.
  5. His disposal is a huge concern particularly when he burns inside 50s. More generally he has not become the player his early years promised. But if he played in a team with a repeatable method that stood up under scrutiny every week his attributes might be better utilised.
  6. Just as long as we lock Clarko in a room at trade time!
  7. You're complaining we drafted a speedy type who can hit a target inside 50?
  8. Cazaly Stadium is a couple of thousand kays north of the Sunshine Coast let alone Metricon.
  9. One of the greatest servants of this club. His resilience through years of sustained mediocrity on and off the field should never be forgotten. But should have retired at end of 2019. There is no place in the team for him.
  10. How often do our 3 mids all hunt the ball drop at centre bounce? If we win possession no release handball option. If opposition win possession they've got a player in space to release to
  11. No defensive setup at centre bounce with 30 seconds to go. No defensive side sweeper to block Saints winning ball and charging straight towards goal.
  12. Who is playing on Dan Butler? Lockhart seems most obvious but he aint playing.
  13. 11 games in 3 years. Simply irresponsible to sign him to a long term high dollar contract even as an FA when his record shows long periods of unavailability. And he is a Restricted Free Agent so Bombers can match a responsible contract offer.
  14. 200 km in the NT is like next door! Port and Crows have alot of fans from remote communities who attend Alice games. Possibly from APY lands.
  15. I stocked up on Campbells Of Rutherglen Topaque this morning. Ratten v Goodwin does not fill me with confidence. Maybe the Topaque will!
  16. "We're a contested ball team". Repeat Ad Nauseum.
  17. by 'ready to roll out' I presume he meant the test had been through independent approval process required to determine how reliable it is?
  18. Its no surprise that Brayshaw's best game coincided with Viney out allowing him to play as a centre square mid. He was better but his kicking was still unreliable. If Viney's return means he is back to a utility role does he have attributes to excell in that role?
  19. We do bat pretty deep in players who turn the ball over....
  20. Hannan and Rivers out and Jones stays in. Well we are a contested ball club after all. Jones is a giant of this club for his resilience and loyalty through dark dark years. But in 2020 he does not have attributes to play half back or wing. Rivers is very promising and displays great attributes for a hbf. Strong overhead, reads play well and intercepts, uses running capacity to chase and tackle and set up play. Hannan will be on the radar of other clubs after being dropped again. Some coaches value his combination of running power, marking and linking high half forward role more than others. I'd have Hannan and Rivers in for Jones and Hibberd. Hope I'm wrong and we don't get outrun by Pies.
  21. How are you at operating a computer on draft night!
  22. We have to protect the head and the spine. Nibbler needs to be suspended. Yes. The AFL is inconsistent.
  23. There was a play on the wing when Hibberd took possession and hedged in on boundary line he kicked long along the line to no one in particular. His other option was to hand ball backwards to a teammate in space with time and space to be more constructive. Sigh.
  24. but could he play whatever ahem role Brayshaw is currently not playing very well?
