I’d love to see Rivers replace Gus in the middle. Full time midfield.

Gus should have belted him with the bottle and said “no worries” dropped a 6 pack of VB on his chest and dragged him out into the gutter to bleed for a while. Maybe call an ambulance a few hours later… maybe.

@58er I too have said Stafford needs to go and we need Yze to flip the standing areas of our mids so we are less predictable

Sure, as I stated he is a good fit from the few games we have seen him forward. But here is the problem, firstly he missed 6 games last year and 11 so far this year. So durability is questionable. And when he play’s permanent forward, teams lock in on him more. Can he be as effective? I hope so. But it’s yet to be determined.

Panthers, jags, eagles.

Lions beat the chiefs. And yes chiefs were missing a few that Lions Oline was so so good, the TE blocking was great and the signing of Montgomery has been a shrewd decision.

I agree but Goodwins game plan for years has been dump it long, can you really see him changing it anytime soon? I can’t.

But they also play a game style where they don’t dump kick it long 60 times a game. So unless we change our game style as I’ve said multiple times we then need that key fwd. And I’ll be betting on Goodwin sticking to his same game plan for years to come.

Head hunt them. Surely they would know who they like as players, go after them and try and pry them loose. Carlton might let McKay go as Curnow does well as a lone forward. Allen might not want to do the rebuild and two early picks for him might entice west coast.

I disagree, it’s the biggest hole we have in our list. Goodwin wants Thai game style, this style relies on a big forward who can mark and compete. Tmac and BBB are done, JVR not there and don’t think the right sort of player, which leaves Petty who has shown two good games as a forward and could be the answer but he keeps spending multiple weeks on the sideline which leaves us with no one.

I don’t know but they won the next two with him.

Time to shelf the trying to get pick 1 etc, get gold coasts 4, and throw 4&5 at a key forward. McKay from Carlton, Allen from West coast are two of target. West coast would be happy with 1,4&5 going into the draft. And unless we change our game plan or truly believe that Petty will be the main focal point and his body won’t fail him then we need to head hunt a genuine forward.

I’m not going to read all 20 pages but in the sober light of morning all I will say is Don’t get beaten by that you know. And we did. We know we dump kick long with no thought. We know how forwards contend with 30 players constantly in the F50. We know our mids set up the same way at stoppages. We know we have half a forward line with no decent big forward who can make an impact. We know the game plan won’t change and we like last year went super into our shells after going behind early. We know we have the worst i50 conversion and have for years and We know Goodwin won’t change that. We know we don’t want Carlton to win tonight. We know Stafford should have been moved on last year. We know straight sets is a big possibility. We know we could be wasting Gawns best chance at a second flag.

At years end if we don’t move on from Stafford and /or Yze then nothing will change from the last few years.

Without doubt no case to answer.

My condolences mate.

Week one is always so hard, so I’ll give a hand to you all…. Dont tip the Rams at Seattle 😂

Ha ha prob not. Curry on, the wurst is yet to come!

Ahhh the old three things in life jargon… Death, Taxes and @Jaded No More losing her absolute shizen the day before a final! 😄

From what limit footage I saw Love looked decent. Poor kid is following Rodgers and Farve. So unless he is as good as them he might cop it a bit. Lot to carry there.

Obviously never watched us play in the wet.

I’m still crying over Kupps hammy that he keeps hurting. Rams are not going to be any good this year. Def in tipping comp tho!

I like this, he will give cover in multiple positions without costing much and while he hasn’t been great this year, we have seen him do decent things and play decent games. I don’t expect him to come in and play much even next year but if we have multiple injuries again he can slot in and do a job.

Iirc if the injury occurred whilst a player of the club they pay for everything if no longer on their list or the list of another club (that could be another sport and I’m getting them mixed up, but I think it’s the AFL)
