Collingwood wouldn’t be offering that. Cameron is a better player right now. Adelaide would be a better shot at 1st ruck but does he really want to live in Adelaide (VIC boy right?)?

I sure am wondering if he was the special ingredient in 2021 that we are now missing (plus Burgess, though he’s clearly not having the same impact at Adelaide).

Well, how is this approach supposed to be helpful? Can’t breach confidence? Then don’t make suggestions about something that you can’t talk about. It’s annoying for those not in the know.

That’s BS. We aren’t big 4 but we are next. Our conversion rate of total fans to crowd numbers is probably close to best in the league. The criticism of us is BS.

It wasn’t the stand rule. It was for going over the mark, specifically on May’s left side. It was clearly the correct call, though doesn’t always get noticed.

Matthew Nichols has money on Freo. That was crazy.

They won’t carry over three players. Likely that just one will miss out

We were into him in his draft year

I haven’t seen him play this year but high draft pick so clearly has talent. We are desperate for midfield depth IMO so I’d be all for it if he is the best available.

Definite?

What a shame

Still, I’d classify him as a running half back, more so than a player like Howe who is a medium who plays tall.

He’s only 184cm. I’d love him at the dees for some more run off half back.

Isn’t Hayward a free agent?

This is all true. But it helps a lot when they have been almost injury-free.

Exactly. Way too early to judge a young tall. No one else (below Jefferson) has done much either. Looks like a very weak draft early days.

Not many good players picked after him.

I think it has been in the media somewhere that saints are throwing lots of $$ at him

What a joke. Obviously not a clear record then. Unbelievable that they would come to that conclusion. Was the AFL lawyer deliberately putting up a limp case again (eg Maynard)?

We just need to beat them at the contest. Deny them clearances and our backs will do the rest. Tonight they destroyed us in that area - as they have done before but not every game in recent times.

At least we didn’t trash our percentage.

There were similarities in the action. That is a fact. Saying the are similarities is fine, they weren’t the same though. The differences are the Koz was much closer to Soligo when starting his action (so less reaction time) and the force was not even in the same ballpark.

Absolutely love Judd McVee and always happy when the ball is in his hands. Having said that, he needs to learn from the Carlton final and the Rioli goal. If he can’t take the opposition player with him, he can’t go to ground/past the ball in those contests. I’m sure he will learn from it for next time.

I’d favour Petty down back than the Tomlinson, Tmac, Hore combo. But that is dependent on Fullarton or Ben Brown being able to play quality mins forward. May won’t be out for long IF there is no internal damage (lungs, kidneys etc). Rib fractures alone don’t usually have them out for more than 1-2 weeks. Hopefully not too long for Lever either - as mentioned elsewhere, they would have a good idea by now if there was any possibility of ACL.

They over-celebrated pretty much all of their goals. Embarrassing
