Harmes is looking as he doesn't what to finish his career sitting at Casey. You respect that, he thinks he might get more opportunity elsewhere we shake hands and get something for him. Unfortunately he is worth a third round pick, for the club we need to either use him to get other deals done or advance our picks

And I think blease or Strauss was our end of first round priority pick as well. Just so many bad memories from that period, Morton, Gysberts, Cook, Watts. Has a club ever stuffed up so many first round picks

I reckon North will use the pick 3 free agent compensation pick to draft this guy, will actually be an upgrade over time on the bloke going out

Don't be surprised if they take a key back if they get pick 3 compensation. There list looks ok a few holes but plenty of upside, still 2 years away from being anywhere near a top 8 side but will have enough talent in before all the Tassie hand outs happen.

He is cooked wouldn't go any where near him

Brett Ratten or Michael Barlow

Yep, they seem to look to get it on the right track and then get wrong people in and stuff it up. If Clark is still ceo it will go no where

Perth seem to have a reasonable crop of u18 players every couple if years but just don't develop them to be competitive in there seniors.

I think with the right drafting and trading we can actually have an extended period contending for a flag. We are going to have a very strong draft hand this year and I reckon Tassie will get some access to kids next year followed by 2 to 3 Drafts with a lot of early picks. This could be the last non compromised draft for 2 to 4 years. We still have a young enough core group add in the next young group, we are filling gaps, the clubs down the bottom still have massive holes and a few recent and current contenders are prime to fall off the cliff

I thought Jack Viney was great in this aspect kicking the ball lace out to Carlton players to make sure everyone got a kick.

Logan Morris should be there at pick 24. Very similar player to JVR and would be handy. I doubt he will be there at our next pick. Pick 5 O Sullivan Pick 14 Best Mid Pick 24 Morris I think we might offer Grundy and 24 for 11 and 30.

If you haven't got your kicking action sorted by 14 or 15 years old, it is hard to make a poor kick into a good kick. It might improve but under pressure your old bad habits will come out. On goal kicking pressure no question, your arms get tight which effects the ball drop. I hate seeing players that move the ball from side to side, keep it simple, you always ball in hand will have a little bit of the left to right movement prior to ball drop but the last couple of steps everything needs to be straight and relaxed. The other thing know your limitations, nev jetta is an example of this 25m to 40m great kick, kept it simple and knew this was his idea range

So 3 of the top 10 and agree Petracca wouldn't be far off, plus Langdon. This is something we have been posting here for years.

I'm not so sure about the win now, no question we can play finals again in 2024, but I'm not sure we can win. This isn't just from the last 2 weeks we just lack that polish, no doubt we are a great contested team but the new contenders are more balanced with contested and skill. I see 2024 as a dangerous year for the club, we might need to step back to go forward.

It's all about ball movement, opposition teams know our kick inside 50m is terrible so they sit back wait for the turnover kick and attack from there. Until we address the teams kicking we have to play this way. Kick the ball better you can hit that dangerous through the corridor kick and open up your forward line, whilst we kick poorly we are stuck with the predictable kick.

To me it is him not getting to the right spot, we don't want you climbing on a pack, we want you at the front of the pack. The hits are just silly. Hit the tackle rather than bump

I would like to see Bowey on a wing, extremely smart footballer that uses the ball well, not sure on his tank though. The other side do we move Brayshaw to the wing to play a more outside role to protect his head a little.

His biggest weakness is we wants to take mark of the year rather than being front and square. Everyone knows where the ball is going inside our forward 50, why is he most times out the back rather than in front of the contest.

I think the same for Woewodin, he showed enough this year that he could really press for round 1 selection.

Is Michael Barlow worth a look for assistant coach, has a relationship with Choco from his tear coaching werribee and doing a good job as head coach at werribee

A forward line JVR, Petty, Smith, McAdam, Fritsch plus smalls Kosi, Chandler, ANB, Spargo reads ok

100 percent, there will he 3 to 5 years of compromised Drafts coming up, load up on early picks this year that will be the basis for 10 years of finals

Pretty much spot on, plus the development of the talls we picked up last year

We lost because 90 secs off football we stopped playing, we lost all defensive structure behind the ball. The game was won, so our players thought

You have to design a game plan that matches you players capabilities. The bottom line is our mids can't hit a target by foot, not just one but our entire midfield group are poor kicks.
