Go the Biff

Except Richmond are going full rebuild. I doubt a player of Trac's age would fit in with their strategy. Despite his attributes

I'm in. Trade Fence for Shazza !

There is some red & blue there Luci. My brother in law met him a couple of months ago on the plane from Sydney. He mentioned my mum was a Demons fan of many decades. So Hoges said meet me when we get off the plane and I'll record a message to her on your phone. Sure enough, my BiL gets off the plane and there is Jesse, away from the rest of the Giants, standing waiting for him. Part of the message to mum was "I still love the Dees and have some great friends there". So yeah , GWS for Jesse is my vote

We should let him take a set shot prior to the game. His run up should give fans plenty of time to express their thanks and appreciation.

Chris has been banging on about our lack of a "first rover" all season. Which kinda gives you an idea of where he's at. And his tortured mispronunciation of our players names is something to behold. If he didn't follow my club I'd think he was bloody hysterical. But he does. I also think he mentioned not renewing his membership should major upheaval not take place in the off season so Chris, while probably a lovely old fella, can G&GF.

That kinda rings a bell but he's had the backline for a long time now. Don't think he was Stafford's immediate predecessor as forwards coach

Chaplin backs Yze mids Stafford forwards & rucks I believe Stafford got the forwards gig added to his ruck responsibilities in either 20 or 21 when footy departments were slashed as the league adjusted to the impacts of covid on costs & revenues. Can't remember who ran the forwards prior to that

Of the forward line ? Not sure that's Burgo's one wood

Fence, if you truly, truly love Jeffo the way you say you do, surely you'd prefer the young man made his debut in 2025. WHEN THERE IS A CHANCE THE HOPEFULLY NEW COACH OF THE FORWARD LINE HAS SOME CONCEPT OF HOW ONE OPERATES RATHER THAN DUMP THE LAD IN THE SHIITSHOW CURRENTLY MASQUERADING AS OUR ATTACK !!!!!

After a promising period mid season I reckon his last month has been horrid. A pity as I think he's one of the more intriguing players on our list

He went past mine the minute he got out of surgery 🫤

Hope not. That was a schiitt act I'd hate to see us replicate.

Agreed. Worked his backside off.

Seconded.

Retro round isn't it ? Certainly reminded me of the old days. A whole row to myself on the wing and plenty of room on the train

Protecting his record ?

Same. You hear him speak on SEN every 2 weeks and he's such an impressive kid.

That was fun. Jeez I left some good players on the table. I guess Jye Amiss will learn to live with me giving him the lemonade and sars in favour of JVR 😁

Or they win it & he decides to move onto a new challenge. I'm sure there's a certain jumper number we can keep vacant for him

There was a video of Josh Mahony doing a presentation which covered our pre season. Can't remember if it was the whole team or the whole midfield. But he did point out that only 2 players had completed full pre seasons. Pretty sure one of them was Jordan Lewis.

True. He played today like he'd already retired

I'd have preferred Hunter was gifted his 200th tonight. Then the Bulldogs could chair him off rather than our blokes.

Bugger !

Correct. His only real option was the chip and chase kick - Billy Slater style. Which is not much of an option. The Rivers one is one of my pet hates. Blokes calling for the footy while running themselves into trouble. Don't call for it - just keep running to space where you can receive a kick.

Very much this. I know the majority want him returned to defence but I'm keeping the faith. I reckon he could be a 35+ goal KPF given a decent run with fitness & injury. Folks remember his big game against Richmond but there was more to his season than that. His improvement week on week when he started playing forward last year was impressive. Running & leading patterns, getting to contests, presenting as a target etc. Unfortunately each time he really got going he was struck down with injury. I'll go to my grave believing we were a fit Harry Petty and / or Jake Melksham away from winning the whole bloody lot in 2023.
