  1. Just like his old man improving in the later years of his career. Jack has always been good but last few seasons have been great. Jack like his dad improved his kicking after many years of being a bit dodgy. Todd got his first All Australian in his 10th year and Jack should've got the nod last year in his.

  2. I would think a 2 year deal would be the smart move .

    He will then have just as many options after 2 years and can force his way out after 1 if things go even further south at the dogs

    They’ve just cracked 50,000 members within 3 hours of being announced! Their stated goal was 40,000 by October.

    A proper football state finally getting their own team. So much better for the competition than soulless franchises like GWS and GC. I wish them well.

    I'm all for Tasmania having a team .Good numbers but they are $10 memberships.

    I think they will be a great addition to the comp and probably be about of peoples "2nd" team. That jumper though is seriously rubbish . Giants showed how you can create a modern jumper that will hold up for decades to come. Logo looks good

    Plenty to be happy about.

    Billings addition looks like it’ll reap huge dividends.

    BBB up and about was good, even if he’s just contesting marks. Got a few crumbed goals after his efforts. Hopefully the knee holds up and Petty gets going too - would reduce the amount of long bombs to Kozzy by himself - they must really want him to win mark of the year 🤣

    Kozzy is 0 from 60 in his career. Needs to retire the moty attempts. His attempts usually mean there are no crumbers and the ball exits our 50 most times

  5. Unlike last week no passengers today. Selections where all on the money this week.I was critical of the Tomlinson dropping but tmac was great. Was great to see the goals spread around. Every player was a level above last week. Great day at the G and the crowd on the members side getting around clarry everytime he ran to the bench was fantastic

    Tommo out against one of the tallest forward line in the comp in perfect dry conditions…wut

    Head scratching selections every week. I had hoped we learnt our lesson but apart from 21 Goody's usually got at least one selection each week that doesn't make sense. I mean 3 talls allowing lever to drop off his man and intercept is our best format in defence.

  7. Can't see us winning one soon with our lack of skills and polish in the midfield. Our grunt and sheer weight of forward entries with the best set up back 6-7  got the job done in 2021. But skills and rapid ball movement from opposition can bring us undone quickly. And unfortunately we don't have the cattle to execute a similar game plan against top teams

    Van Rooyen has had a couple of years playing in the seniors and really does not seem to do a lot, he has come out and kicked up a couple of goals in games often late in the game but at other times he can rarely been seen. I dont know how much time we give him, or how much time we can afford to have him failing to hit the score board or help get the ball to our smalls to kick goals.

    Jvr has had some good moments is quite slow and not great when it hits the deck. I love his competitiveness but not as convinced as some he'll be a genuine no 1 key consistent 50+ a year key forward. 

    But our delivery in stinks so I'll keep the faith

  9. Yes our forward structures are still bad. But the fact is that it's our mids who make it so difficult for them.

    We rush it in when we should take time, we are too slow to move it when we should be quick . Our mids lack composure and skills. Clarry, Viney,Track, Gawn, sparrow who do you trust out of those to make a good decision and hit a target. Contested beasts who get it forward through sheer strength and will but not players who help forwards.

    Look at that mcvee play to fritta a composed player with skills, we want improve until we have players with those attributes delivering it to the forward line.

    Mcvee, Salem, Windsor, rivers, Bowey have the ability but ones a rookie and the rest we pay back the majority of the time. 

     

    Something's got to change
